So Overpriced for the Product
I have been waiting for some time to order this dress. I had it on my wish list for several months. I took the dress out of the bag which was of course was wrinkled and looked as though someone else wore it. Presentation ....Presentation... Presentation. I believe a dress at this price point should be maybe boxed or whatever is the best. The dress did look like a hot mess of fabric. The front has a obvious seam which did make architecture of this what could have been great had the same floral design running together. I thought it just can not be that bad. I hung the dress up (no tags or anything to have me feel it was mine, and new) and what did I see? Threads, lots of threads where they were not trimmed between the layers of the extremely see through fabric. Now I love to be sexy, but that where this dress stops. Its not sexy, nor it is that special dress for a evening out.
I looked at it for two days on a hanger which I did hang in the sun room. The more I looked the more threads I saw. Conclusion: Not worth the money, made poor from our foreign manufacturers, and just so over priced. Its a base of a triangle with the top off. I would not waste my money if I were you. I did with s and h , will try to be refunded. OK there is one positive point. I am 5'8" and the length would have been good with a small heel.

Chic, Beautiful, and Comfortable!
I purchased this dress in blue to wear to my nephew's destination wedding in May, 2013. This maxi dress is perfect for a beach wedding; the fabric is lightweight and very comfortable. The pattern reminds me of Monet's “Water Lilies” and its muted hue is very flattering on all body types. I agree that it is a little big across the chest and under the arms; however, it’s nothing that a good seamstress can’t fix. I have been looking for months for something that was "just right" for the occasion and I was thrilled when this dress arrived - it's gorgeous! I’m looking forward to celebrating this joyous event in Christina Ehrlich’s chic maxi dress.

Simply Gorgeous!
I am shocked how much I love this dress in blue. I am always a size Large and that is what I ordered in this one--fits perfectly. The fabric is beautiful, looks expensive and it is so beautifully made. Having said that, I have never paid this much money for a maxi dress in my life and seriously thought about sending it back because of the price but I just can't part with it. It is just that beautiful!

Beautiful Dress...Not For This Pear-Shaped Woman
I am 5' 8" , pear shaped with a 40" bust. I usually wear a size large ( size 12 - 14). I ordered the size medium based on everyone's advice and this dress is still too large.
I am not going to bother re-ordering a smaller size because there is a lot of fabric in the lower part of the dress near the hips and this is NOT at all flattering on someone with my body type. I ordered a Mark Zunino dress that fit much better and is so flattering, that I bought 2 of them!
The blue print is lovely and the dress is well made, hence the 4 stars.

arm holes too deep and length too long
Fits great across the bust but the arm holes are so deep that my bra shows on the sides.....and the length is very long .......if I can find 3-4 " shoes and the proper bra then fine but if not then this will be returned. I do however like the style and the way it open drapes and shows the different fabric when you move.

What's Up with the Top?
Loved the pattern in the material. The large fit fine except for the straps and bodice. They are positioned so that your bra shows. I'm trying a larger size but that shouldn't be necessary when the rest of the dress fits fine.

Comfort & Class all in one!
This dress is absolutely beautiful! It is so comfortable to wear and hides all my flaws, yet it is classical and unique in style. I bought the blue and love all the hues. I only wish it came in petite since I am 5'2" and had to get it shortened. You cannot go wrong with this purchase.

Gorgeous Dress!!
This dress is simply stunning! I did have to size down as my regular size was too large, but luckily I was able to get the next size down in the blue color. I plan to wear it to an evening wedding in a few weeks.

Classy by nature
I bought this dress for my daughter. She is 5'9" and wears high heels, so the length is wonderful. The color lilac is perfect for her, and the flowing sides just make it so feminine. No issues whatsoever.

Very Pretty Unique dress
First, I got the blue color and the fabric is very pretty. Got a lot of compliments on the dress fabric. The flap that gives it a unique style is a little wierd but I got used to it. I ordered an xl, I am 5'10" and usually wear a regular (not plus) size 18 or a 16w. I have become a bit "apple" shaped. I wondered if I got a 1x if the flaps would lie differently and maybe would be more flattering but when I ordered it only the xl was available. Anywy, I ended up wearing it and liking it.

Be advised,..
I purchased this dress in the lavendar in my regular size. First, I believe I could have sized down. Second, if you look at the dress on the figurine, you notice that the straps are close to the armpits and there would be no problem with wearing a bra. On the dress that I received, the straps were closer to the neck and my bra straps definitely showed and I the only way I could wear this dress without the bra straps showing is to wear a strapless bra. Other than the aforementioned, the color, print and flow of the dress is absolutely beautiful. I planned to wear this to a wedding just as Maria wore it in the presentation, but the bra strap issue didn't work for me. Hopefully, the dress will work for someone else because it is truly beautiful. I would recommend this dress for someone who is smaller and hopefully the dimensions are closer to the way they are represented on the model and manequin.

Way Too Long
Beautiful dress and appears to be very high quality but I am 5'5" and this dress was way too long. Even with heels it was dragging on the ground. Because of unusual hemline I did not want to spend the time to try and hem this or to have it done by a tailor which would probably be expensive as there is the dress and the lining. Buy this dress if you are 5'7" or 5'8" or taller. Otherwise be prepared to spend time or money hemming. A shame but had to go back. Would only recommend this is a very tall friend.
