There are some positive reviews online of a similar Nicole Miller dress (basically this style but strapless) and not one of them mentions the butt shirring, so I was wondering if I was just crazy to think it looked weird. At least that's one off my list. </p> <p>Scarlet, the lace Ann Taylor dress is still on my list. I want to see if they come up with a 40% sale code at some point - wedding won't be until May, so I figure I have until Dec/Jan to find a dress, even if it needs to be tailored. I'm likely not going to get a made to order style, so I don't need as much head time.</p> <p>Rita, my rear view is perfectly sufficient (or more than sufficient, LOL!) by itself. I definitely don't want to enhance it!</p> <p>I have a lot of ideas of what I DON'T want in a dress (strapless, spaghetti straps, giant train, huge skirt that looks like a cake, anything that looks feathery or hairy, etc) but not quite sure what I DO want yet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-this-nicole-miller-gown#post-739950 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 14:21:08 +0000 modgrl 739950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alot of Nicole Miller's dresses have this back shirring. It is verrrrr nice if you want to accentuate your rear view like I do! There is a problem with all of her clothes though. Her fit models are 5'11". Seriously!! So everything is waaaaaayyyyy too long. And I don't mean just the length, which can be easily tailored. All of her clothes are just proportioned wrong for anyone who is not uber tall. I would pass on this one just based on that!</p> <p>Wedding dresses are tricky. What you think looks good in a magazine or what looks good on someone else is not necessarily going to look good on you. I would go to a real store and try on some gowns, even if you end up having to pay a little more for it, at least you will get to try it in real life. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-this-nicole-miller-gown#post-739948 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 14:19:54 +0000 JAileen 739948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aside from the shirring, I think the dress comes across as a debutante style dress rather than a wedding dress. I'm not sure why exactly. I think it's the top of the back view, where the lace edging doesn't look quite right.</p> <p>I do love Zappo's though. I just got the boots (Melissa Button boots) I've been wanting for months!</p> <p>Good luck with your search. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-this-nicole-miller-gown#post-739944 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 14:15:06 +0000 Scarlet 739944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would be highly suspicious--the shirring doesn't look deliberate enough. What about the gorgeous lace dress you posted awhile back where there was much discussion of the sleeves. Did you try that one? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-this-nicole-miller-gown#post-739936 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 14:06:02 +0000 nancylee 739936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana, my first reaction is that you should just try the dress on and see how it looks. </p> <p>On the other hand, if you're feeling "funny" about the shirring by just looking at the photo maybe that's a sign to let this dress go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-this-nicole-miller-gown#post-739930 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 14:01:53 +0000 citygirldc 739930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sometimes what you want and what you try on are two different things. You won't know until you try these dresses on. </p> <p>I'm not a fan of this dress for some reason. Maybe it is the shearing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-this-nicole-miller-gown#post-739850 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 12:13:54 +0000 Anonymous 739850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Rae on this one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-this-nicole-miller-gown#post-739736 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 04:56:00 +0000 goldenpig 739736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going to have to vote nay on the butt wrinkles. Not necessarily where you want the attention placed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-this-nicole-miller-gown#post-739701 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 04:00:40 +0000 rae 739701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As much as I normally adore Nicole Miller, the shirring does kind of look like dress-ride-up, at least in those photos. :T </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-this-nicole-miller-gown#post-739687 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 03:38:16 +0000 Diana 739687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It has that shoulder/back design that I loved on the Ann Taylor dress too, but I can't decide if the shirring looks deliberate or just ill-fitting, especially around the butt area.</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/nicole-miller-sleeveless-cut-out-back-gown-antique-white" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/nicole-m.....ique-white</a></p> <p>Also, Zappos sells wedding gowns. Who knew? </p>
