This dress is pretty and elegant and just daring enough. I loved the beading and design on the bodice. Everything is well done and seemingly high quality because nothing came off while I was trying it on. I was really in love with the skin coloured mesh because it's sexy while still looking classy. And the long skirt with train really finishes the look. Loved it!My one issue with this dress is that the beading extends down the sides of the dress to the hips. This creates the illusion of wider hips I think. I don't have huge hips (I'm 5'8, 115 lbs), but I felt really bottom-heavy in this dress. It is probably a combination along with a darker skirt in contrast with a light/nuanced bodice. Anyway, this was offputting for me and I felt self-conscious of my hips so I sent the dress back. It's a shame because I loved the style otherwise! So much so that I considered attempting to remove the beading along the hips. It just didn't seem very doable for me.Gorgeous dress. I wore it to my senior prom, I was on prom court and wanted something fancy but classy. I got tons of compliments all night--the dress is the perfect combo of sexy and classy. The boob cups fall out really easily (I am slimmer, so I went without), but if you need the boob cup you will probably want to sew them in. The only detriment to the dress is that the top is rather constricting as far as arm movement goes (like when you move both arms forward or back at the same time). I was willing to deal with this though because of how stunning the dress was. Bonus: the mesh on top kept me from getting too hot in the zillion degree dance floor :) Overall, highly recommend, amazing quality for the price, and a very unique outfit.PRO TIP: I installed a small hook and eye about 1/2 way up the back of the skirt--this allowed me to take the train down for pictures but put it up to get it out of the way so I could dance.This is the third time I've ordered a dress from Amazon. I ordered from two different sellers the first two times were terrible because those dresses were too tight or damaged badly. When I opened this dress I didn't see any damage. The color is really vibrant more of a orangey color but I don't mind because I feel like it looks better against my brown skin than just bold red. It fits perfect around my hits and it give you room to move without losing your shape. It's long but this is what I was expecting especially for a gala. I'm 5'4 140. The chest area is a little baggy for me because of my small chest but that's just my body not the dresses flaw. It doesn't make me look awkward. If it bothers me too much I'm sure a little altering can fix it. Definitely a great buy I can't wait to wear this beautiful gown.WOW! This dress was stunning and I received it in 1 day! I honestly can't say enough how well-made, and true-to-photo it was. I'm 5'4", 155lbs, & 36D and usually a size 6/8. I purchased the 8 and it fit perfect, I could possibly go up a size and still be okay, so it definitely depends on your preference! I'd suggest possibly sewing in a nude panel in the cleavage if you're busty like me, but it is definitely not necessary! Buy it, you will not be disappointed!This dress is well worth it for the money. I wore it to a formal ball and received endless compliments on it. It looks very expensive but was incredibly affordable. It has a long train on it but I felt that the measurements were pretty accurate. Would highly recommend.This dress was perfect! It was a little big in the bust area. But considering she's a size 10, and I ordered a size 14 to be on the safe side that was expected ..the quality was good considering the price. my daughter loved it! And looked absolutely gorgeous.Love the dress and its made well. The only problem I have its that it's not for petite girls. And I didn't know that I was petite until I bought this dress. My opinion is that it's more for curvy and girls that have at least a C cup. I measured a 4 but ordered a 2 and it's a little big where I'm suppose to be a little more curvy ?.The dress is exactly as pictured. I got so many compliments. Two things I wish I could have changed: 1. dying to mesh to match my skin tone (I am a mocha color) 2. getting it altered to fit tighter
