Definitely more coral, well-constructed
I'm considering this dress for my bridal shower in mid-March and as the previous reviewer noted, the color is more coral than pink as it appears on the website. Hopefully this is evident in the photo I've posted. The coral color is gorgeous and very on-trend for spring.
The material is lightweight but the dress has more weight to it than I expected due to its construction which is incredible, especially the interior of the bodice. For me, this means I have to wear it halter style because the weight of the dress is too much for my smaller bust (even the size 0). The dress seemed a little long at first (hits at the knee) but it's definitely age appropriate or could be easily hemmed.
Overall, it's beautiful and more comfortable than I expected and I think it could be perfect for my spring bridal shower.

Pretty, versatile dress
This dress in this color intrigued me because it seemed versatile. The berry color makes me think of winter and fall while the silhouette can be springy/summery. The color is slightly brighter in person than what appears on my monitor & the photos I've posted.
The material is light and flowy and in need of a steaming to get out the expected wrinkles. The ruffles on the neckline will need some extra attention to get them to lay the way I want. I love the delicate chain strap detail and twist ruching on the front of the bodice. I'm going to look around for a nice brooch to accent this gorgeous dress like is shown in the official photo.
I found the fit to be tts as my normal size 0 fit perfectly and hit just above my knees. Definitely recommend this dress for many different occasions!
p.s. In the photos I've posted, what may appear to be discoloration is actually light reflecting from a mirror to my right.

LAppel Palette Dress
A mist still hangs over these garden blooms - carefully pleated, tucked, and tied together - just the faintest trail of dewy beads along an empire waist provides the finishing touch. Back zip. Silk; acetate lining. Dry clean. Imported.

Beautiful details
This dress is very pretty and has beautiful details that elevate it beyond a typical spring/summer dress. The beads are light and don't weigh down the garment.
I would say the sizing is mostly TTS. I am wearing a size 0 which is slightly big on top but fits well with their right bra, as I am smaller on top. I think the silhouette is classic and flattering and I can't wait to wear this when spring returns.

Delicate and feminine
This bolero looks and fits just as it is pictured on the website (I've posted a few of my own pictures to further demonstrate this). The color is slightly off-white, as I expected from the "buttercream" description. The fabric is light and soft but the bolero is well-structured, a nice balance.
I usually wear XS or S in shirts and tops and 0-2 in dresses and the XS fits me perfectly.

Beautiful, well-made dress
This dress is beautiful and has features that aren't mentioned in the description like pockets, interior lingerie snaps and a layered lining (which I've tried to show in the picture). The layered lining gives the skirt a fullness without being too poofy.
The dress is very light; the fabric is soft and flowy. This is, of course, why it wrinkles so easily (the only caveat I've noticed) but that's to be expected with silk taffeta. The pictures were taken inside with late afternoon natural lighting.
The dress seems to fit true to size. I ordered what I normally wear at Anthropologie and the fit is pretty much perfect. I can't wait to wear this dress to an upcoming wedding I'm invited to!
Shipping was fast and the dress came packaged in a pretty, embroidered BHLDN bag.
