I love this dress- it is made out of a beautiful, sturdy, almost impervious to wrinkles, material. It is a very flattering cut however I had to have my friend help me tailor it because the top portion was too big and the stitching in the straps were coming undone. It was an easy fix and a good deal for a dress with so much detail in the embroidery around the waist!!

Hi,While I like this dress, and I am keeping it, I am only doing so because I am able to sew and could alter it. The fabric is beautiful, but the dress itself is shapeless. There is no zipper, and the bodice hangs loose. It's not an issue of size, because if it was tight, you wouldn't be able to get it on. It's just this odd, shapeless bodice.I ended up sewing ribbons on either side of the bodice and will tie in the back to wear. I guess you could also put in a zipper or elastic, but if you aren't handy...this is not the dress for you.

I bought this dress to wear to a wedding. It was comfortable, figure flattering as I am very curvy and affordable. I received many compliments on how great a dress it was and how well it fit me and how it made my waist look so slender. However, a few hours later, the plastic fasteners that adjust the strap length both broke and the straps became very long and made the dress very revealing. (thank goodness I had a sweater!!) One strap also started to come unsewn to the dress. I am disappointed because I was hoping to be able to wear it again sometime. It could be a fluke, because the rest of the dress and the embroidery seem well made. The material is thick and nice. If you purchase this dress...check the straps!!

I am usually an 8 in dresses. I can "squeeze" into a 6, but they aren't very comfortable that way. I ordered a medium and it was a little big around the waist, it looked okay. (I just wanted it to hug my body a little more. My huband loves that! So I took a safety pin and pinned the top. If I had the money i'd take it to a seemstress to put in a zipper.) Also the fabric is a good thicker material instead of the thin dresses that show everything in the sunlight.I'm very curvy so this dress was perfect. I love the way it disguises my childbearing hips and the cute embroidered pattern breakes up my body to look good instead of frumpy. : (I am a C cup so the top is a little reavealing for my taste, but on a date night out... without a 2 and 4 year old, I could probably pull it off. Hope this helps you decide if it's the dress for you. I personally NEVER seem to get dresses to look as good on me, as they do on the hanger.
