I ordered this lovely dress in February 2010 for my wedding in August 2010. I purchased it from a boutique in Chicago (original receipt scanned in photos at left), but wore it to my indoor/outdoor wedding in South Georgia. I found it to be perfect in both settings, as it flows beautifully in the breeze outside, but also looks soft & pretty indoors as well.
Although it looks like a pretty full ball gown, it's actually very light to wear and doesn't have that over-the-top formal feel or appearance. The top part has an internal structure that keeps it from constantly falling or needing to pull it up.
I'm pretty tall (5"10), so I ordered a little extra length to it (although I did wear flats), but it can always be altered again to shorten the length. There is a medium length train, and about 4 layers of tulle under the skirt that can either be added to for more fullness, or subtracted to lessen.
Since I'm tall, have hips, and a booty ;), I typically wear a dress size 6 or 8. I was a little wary when the boutique said that I was a size 4 for my wedding dress, but it turns out this fit perfectly (especially since it's only really fitted around the top part).
As a side note, although the dress has been professionally cleaned, I would suggest getting the dress pressed or steamed (most any cleaner can do this), since silk organza typically wrinkles easily.
Slight imperfections: There is a small 2 inch section on the bottom right hand side of the dress that has a few tiny holes. B/c the dress has a lot of folds, they're not initially noticeable.. They could be eliminated if the dress was shortened (even just an inch). There is also small smudge about 3/4 of an inch on the bottom front. I had the dress professionally cleaned, but that spot must not have been directly taken care of. I'm pretty sure a good cleaner could get rid of it, since it's not dark. (I have detailed pictures of these, so please email me if you'd like to see them).
