Helena

What a pretty color on a pretty dress!

There’s not much you can say about the length of this dress—it goes down to the floor and I can’t even see her feet!  Also, the dress isn’t translucent, as you can see with the backlighting.

The top has a high neckline and though it goes a bit toward the shoulders, it seems fine except—this kind of fabric seems to be quite clingy.

The site states:

This dress FITS GENEROUSLY (about one size larger than our ‘Fits True to Size’ dresses).

And I think a lot of that is because of the length and the stretchy fabric on top.  That fabric is both stretchy and clingy, showing off the model’s full form.

Other than that, it looks like it could use a belt or something to better define the mid section, but I could definitely see picking up one of these for my wife!


I'm a 35 year old guy married to the most beautiful woman in the world (VirtuousBlonde) for 10 years, and has 4 mostly adorable children-- depending on whether they've had a nap, of course. I'm a software developer by trade, though I like to write on various topics. I got my start in blogging at MInTheGap in 2004 writing about culture, politics and got started talking about modesty on this site just 2 years ago.

    I agree it could use a belt or ribbon to define the waist, and the fabric/shape wouldn’t fare well with pear shapes such as myself, but it’s otherwise a really pretty dress! Dreamlike, almost…it reminds me of a fairy tale. :)

    The skirt is pretty. I don’t like the top at all. This would probably look pretty with a dark colored top or blazer over it.

    I don’t really like the dress. It is in a nice color. Kinda dreamy like Candra said.
