I'm getting married in Ireland in July 2010 and needed a more casual wedding dress. This is perfect and I'm so excited for the big day! I ordered the petite and it is a little long, so I will have to have it hemmed (I am, however, only 5'3" - so I'm used to it). And speaking of being a little short, the vertical striping makes me look taller! Also, as the other reviewers say, the color is not as white as it appears in the photo. They are correct that it is antique white, or off-white, but certainly white enough for a wedding and the perfect shade if you are a pale Irish-woman who should never wear white!
