Beautiful
I usually wear a 10 but ordered 3 S dresses last summer that ran big so went for XS on this one. A little short in the sleeves but doable. Agree with others on how pretty this is. Very special!

Oh my! LOVE! I didn't order this during the Fall season because I have a disdain for Rayon. I love everything about it but I put it at the bottom of my wishlist because it isn't cotton and I'm not very good at taking care of rayon. There were so many beauties I put ahead of it last Fall. I finally ordered it during the sale and WOW! It's gorgeous! It's actually a heavyweight rayon. The embroidery is lovely. It doesn't show up very well in the photos but the sleeves are stunning. They look droopy in the photos but they're not. The sleaves have a gathered upper section with subtle balloon with wide band at the forearm. Very pretty. This is one of the best dresses from last season. I wish I had ordered it sooner. I can't believe it didn't sell out. SO glad I have this gorgeous wine dress for next Fall & Winter.

Ophelia Dress Plum
I ordered the Ophelia dress in ecru, and was very pleased with it. This dress in plum is well fitting also but the fabric was heavier, I thought, and not as becoming. Also, the embroidery at the bodice is very nice, but not as nice as is on the ecru color Ophelia dress. The dress also was overall larger, I think. I returned the dress.

Ophelia Dress - Plum
This a beautiful dress. - Well made, nice fabric and embroidery. It fit well except thru the bust where it was too tight. Would be perfect for someone with smaller bustline.

Comfortable
Couldn’t decide between this and the purple Brontë dress so I got both. I decided to keep both! This one has a more mature look but is so comfortable and flattering. It’s also a warm, red-based purple vs. the purple Brontë which is a cool, blue based purple. I love having both purples in contrasting styles.

Enchanting!
The Ophelia dress is one of my favorite dress styles at April Cornell, I also have it in the cotton muslin versions in white and black. The plum is a rayon fabric so it drapes more, the design of the dress is very comfortable & amazingly flattering! I love the special design of the sleeves, and the feminine floral embroidery on the bodice. I feel absolutely gorgeous whenever I wear my Ophelia dresses, like a princess! I hope that April Cornell makes this dress style in more colors, like red, blue, green, etc.
