I felt so beautiful wearing this dress! I was anxious but eager to purchase a formal gown for a recent event, as I usually stick with cocktail style dresses that are more suited to my height; I'd never purchased a dress in petite sizing. Using the size chart, I decided a size 0 would be best. Upon trying it on the first time, I wondered if I actually should have sized up as it felt so snug on my stomach! However, I believe my husband tied it a little too tight during that first try-on. On the night of the event, I had him tie it slightly looser than before and the dress fit me like a glove. In fact, had I sized up to a 2p, I believe it would have been too large in the chest. I loved the snug fit of the bodice and the flow of the skirt. The slit on the skirt was sexy yet not revealing. The blue color of the dress was rich and royal. I wore 5 inch heels and was able to walk and dance quite comfortably without the fabric bunching or tripping me. I couldn't have been more pleased with this incredible gown - I only wish it had been available in 0P in red! But I have no regrets with the blue color!
I poured over hundreds of dresses online for a destination wedding and zeroed in on this. Wasn’t sure about size but the 10 is ideal, the fabric is luxurious and drapes beautifully, the red is rich and just the right shade. I am excited to wear it. It will pack easily and looks so effortlessly elegant. I feel like I will have many styling options.
Fits true to size, comfortable and just the perfect length. I am 4' 11" and wearing 2.5-inch heels.
The pictures do this dress no justice! The colors are stunning! The fullness of the skirt and the fit of the bodice is perfection on my petite frame! The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because even though it was a petite dress, it was still too long so I had to pay for alterations.
This dress was perfect for The 250th Marine Corp Ball! Received many compliments and looked great along side my husband. Had to go up in size to fit my 38DD chest to a 14. The scuba Crepe material makes this style very form fitting. I am normally a size 10. Purchased the 14 petite. 5’2.
Shannon" Halter Necktie Floor Length Dress did not disappoint! I love the way this dress hugs my curves. Absolutely stunning!!
Fit like a glove with so many compliments. A little long even though I’m 5’7” and in 3” heels. But again, perfect. Only complaint which totally devastated me was that my clutch caused it to pill around my hip area and basically ruined my dress before I even left my house. I’m not sure if it’s a material issue.
I purchased this dress and it was absolutely beautiful! It fit perfectly and delivered pretty fast. I received so many compliments.
I absolutely loved everything about this dress.I’m 5’3”” & 120# & the 4 petite fit perfectly.The silhouette was so flattering,the slip comfy & I loved the sleeve cuffs & neckline.It pained me to return it but the navy was so close to black that as the mother of the groom I feared wearing it for a restaurant venue as the lighting might be dim.I would not hesitate to repurchase this for a formal event.B & A seems like a solid,quality company.The dress came very well packaged on a hanger & with a plastic cover.I purchased the return insurance & dropped it off @ UPS.Waiting for a refund.
I thought this dress might be too sparkly, but once it is in, it’s great! Very comfortable and flattering. Love that I can order petite!
You look absolutely BEAUTIFUL! We love this dress on you!!
Stays in place and doesn’t detract from your outfit like other wraps can.
I wore this dress in dark green to my son’s wedding last week and I have never gotten so many compliments. It fit perfectly and I felt really confident and comfortable. I hope to wear it again someday.
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! Thank you so much for the pictures, we love!!
Purchased this gown to wear to a fall wedding this past weekend. The color was beautiful and the fit was perfect. Received so many compliments!
This color is perfect for you!! We are obsessed. Thank you Cathy!
This dress was gorgeous on. I'm tall (almost 5'8'') so I was especially appreciative of the mermaid tail as it provided the perfect length for me. Fits like a glove so I purchased 1 size up...went with a 12 instead of a 10.
Yesss we agree, you look absolutely gorgeous!! Please send to us so we ca post!!
After reading the other reviews, I figured this dress would suit me nicely. My body shape is an inverted triangle. I have very broad shoulders, wear a D cup, and have no butt. (bust-41”, waist-30.5”, hips-37”). I’m 5’-5” tall and I ordered the 12P. Even with 4” heels, the length was perfect!! Everything about the dress was perfect for my body type. I have a long torso and this dress is definitely made for a long torso. The other reviewers mentioned it was a little big on top; like loose in the armpits. I don’t disagree, but it was just what I needed. I took the dress to my seamstress and she told me that it fit perfectly and did not need any alterations. Previously, I had never worn a petite sized dress. I did wear a strapless bra (for my own security), but it was 50-50 either way. The dress has built-in cups. Also, I never leave reviews, but I appreciated the other reviewers, as it’s so hard to buy anything online (without getting to try it on first).
Ooooooooh we love this stunning review! Thank you so much Jane for taking the time to write a review! We are so happy that the dress was a perfect fit for you.
When I ordered this dress I was nervous as I normally cant wear petites. I'm short in the torso with extremely long legs and arms. To my surprise, it fit perfectly and I appreciated the built in cups. It's made well with a back hidden zipper and lovely fabric. Coming from the fashion industry, this was a find! Best of all, the price is extremely reasonable!
You are oh, so lovely Bonnie! Thank you for sharing the pictures with us!
I felt very beautiful in this dress, and it was quite flattering. I got so many compliments and may have sold some Betsy and Adam dresses to my friends whose children are also getting married! It's a slimming design and a gorgeous color (I got the Pine). Beware the slit goes high so any shapewear you get needs to have a short leg (or you can hike it up on the left side like I did. I am 6' feet tall and the length was still perfect with my 4 inch heels (the dress train was still slightly touching the ground!) but if you aren't as tall you'll likely need to get it shortened. All in all a perfect dress for me or any of you other Rebecca Walton, Rubenesque size ladies. I am usually a 14 and did fit into the 14, but it was very snug especially around my armpits. I chose to go with a more comfortable fit in the 16.
Thank you so much for spreading our Betsy & Adam name!! Three words: GORGEOUS GORGEOUS GORGEOUS.
I love this dress! It fits perfectly and was delivered in 3 days. I did the bridal shop routine and couldn’t find anything I liked. The dresses were very matronly and expensive. I can’t wait to wear this at my daughter’s wedding!
The dress is a stunning red. I wished the satin twist draping was heavier and longer. We will need to get it altered at the chest for a more snug fit.
The color was vibrant and stunning.
The fabric is divine, the draping of the fabric is so flattering and the comfort is the cherry on top!
You are divine LeighAnn! Seeing you in our 'Patricia' has been the cherry on top of our day!
I already had a gown chosen for my daughter’s wedding and saw this one and decided to order it. I’m so glad I did. I took a chance because I’m pear shaped and was concerned about the fit. I sized up one size for that reason. It’s lightweight and stretchy. I’m excited to wear it!
Ooooooh we love! Thank you Monica, makes us so happy to hear you chose 'Kaia' as your perfect fit!
I absolutely love this dress! The design, fabric, and overall fit are beautiful and exactly what I was hoping for. I received so many compliments when I wore it! The only minor issue was that the neck area was a little loose on me, but I had it altered and now it fits perfectly. Even with that small adjustment, I’d definitely purchase it again — totally worth it!
Ughhh the 'Dina' is always a favorite and it always delivers! Thank youuuuu, we absolutely love seeing you in it!
I love how the fabric skims the body - comfortable without clinging. The deep V neckline and shorter hemline create bold sharp angles, while the billowy sleeves add drama and space. The tailoring of the pleats and the simple side zip makes it so easy to wear.
Thank you Melania! It is always of our utmost importance that our dresses are tailored and completed to perfection.
Loved this shawl
Okayyy Ms. Hepburn!! Abolutely, lovelyyyyyyy.
