This dress was excellent, very nice in great shape. Not cheaply made. I thought it was going to run small so I got it 2 sizes bigger and well it indeed was 2 sizes bigger and I had to go get it taken in.
Honest review. Positives by far exceeds negative

I received this dress (champagne) 2 days after I ordered it (thank you Amazon Prime!).-It came packaged a bit haphazardly, kind of rolled into a ball and is subsequently quite wrinkly.-I ordered this dress in a size that, ordering to their sizing chart, is about 1.5 inches too small in the waist. I hated to do that but it was the only size available with prime. I was dreading trying it on and fully expected the worst. After a lot of wiggling and gut sucking, it zipped and looks quite nice I think. For this reason, I'd say the fit is either spot on or maybe a tad large.-At 5'9" this dress is quite long on me and will absolutely require hemming of a few inches. Personally, I think that's exactly how it should be. It has to be this long in order for it to work for everyone. I recently ordered a different formal dress that needed returned because it was well above my feet even when barefoot. -Material and quality wise, it feels exactly like bridesmaids dresses that I've gotten from bridal shops for $200. In fact, standing next to someone wearing a $190 gown, I see no quality issues other than hers needs massive alterations that it shouldn't have needed.-On the negative side of things, besides being wrinkly, the shoulder straps will need shortened and I can't imagine that they wouldn't on most people. I'm proportioned fairly well and they're simply too big, causing the chest to sag a little. This will be a VERY easy alteration.-My only real complaint is that I can clearly see the white bra cups through the material! At first I thought it was my bra, but it's the built in cups. A simple panel of opaque satin would have avoided this ridiculous problem. I'm at a bit of a loss on what to do about it but since I have the capability, I'll likely go into the bodice and add a material between the cups and the outside. I'm not sure if this is a problem unique to the champagne color, but definitely be prepared for that one.-That said, once I fix that and shorten the straps, I think I can probably go braless which is literally unheard of for me! I'm very impressed with that. And you absolutely COULD wear a bra if you need too (another huge plus imo).Even with my gripe about the cups, I'm extremely impressed with this dress. I started looking on Pinterest for formal dress ideas months ago, came across THIS dress from a bridal store and never dreamed I'd find a look alike on Amazon for 70 bucks. It doesn't feel or look cheap and I absolutely love it!I felt like I HAD to get a size with Amazon Prime for the protection of knowing where it was coming from and that Amazon would stand behind it if it didn't work out. However, after receiving it I do think that I would order again without Prime if I needed too.Definitely recommended.
The only problem I found was the arm holes were a little small and I cannot wear a bra since with this dress which is fine because it's lightly lined

I got a size 8 in this dress. I'm 5'7" 155lbs I usually wear a size 7-8 in pants and a medium in shirts c-bras. This size get me very well. The only problem I found was the arm holes were a little small and I cannot wear a bra since with this dress which is fine because it's lightly lined. The material is fun and flowy and for anyone thinking of buy this simply just look up how to measure yourself and measure yourself. That's what I did
Overall very pleased!

Okay so- I ordered this gown because it was modest and simple enough for the event I needed it for. I am wearing it for my reception as one of the top state officers in my organization, and am THRILLED with this gown! I wear gowns all the time and this one is fairly high quality, pretty, with good material, and fits exactly how I thought it would. Im 5'7 with a 36D 135 lbs and the 6 is absolutely perfect. I will absolutely wear this gown more than once! It does smell a little odd, and is a little wrinkly, but that's just to be expected.
Great Dress!

I got this dress yesterday in the mail and was super excited to try it on. Im going to wear it to my companies Black & White Holiday party.I am 5'9, 240lb, bust 46 waist 41, hips 51. I bought a size 20 due to not being a 100% the 18 would fit. I am super happy with my choice. Once zipped the fit was perfect.If I had anything to complain about, it would be the length. I think even with the 3in heels I am planning to wear with this dress, it may still skirt the ground. I was slightly hoping for somethiung that when I walked my heels would peak out to capture the flash of color I was hoping to expose during the black & White party.All in all, I will be keeping this dress and hopefully be able to use it for future events because it's beautiful.
Great Buy. Beware the Burgundy is more like Red

Great Buy! The Dress fit perfectly! It was really long and had to get it tailored but I am 5'2 so it's a usual thing for me and long dresses. Bought this in a size 20plus and it was perfect. I went to Davids Bridal before I purchased the dress and that's where I got sized. The only thing I would say is that the Burgundy is not Burgundy it is red. It was not a Burgundy at all.
Very sticky zipper and tight around bust
Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2018
I probably should have ordered the next size up, but it was pretty good. It was very tight around the bust, and the zipper was very hard to use- around the satin belt, it would always get stuck- not because the dress was too small, it would do it even when I wasn't wearing it (example: when I had to steam it and had to undo/re-zip it). I ended up having to coat it in baby oil and use pliers to zip it up on the day of the wedding- then the hook and eye tore off when I bent over to zip the flower girl's dress. That was the only time I was glad the zipper wouldn't budge easily! This is a good choice if you don't want to spend a lot of money on a dress for prom/wedding/etc, but I would definitely order one size bigger to be safe, and prepare to use baby oil if the zipper is as sticky as mine.
Fit perfectly everywhere but a little roomy in the bust
Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2018
I tried on about 17 dresses before landing on this one. It fit perfectly at my waist and hips, but the bodice/bust was too large. I wound up wearing a strapless bra with it and having to tug down at the dress to keep it in place but that was an easy sacrifice not to feel trussed up all night long. I got lots of compliments and it was really beautiful. I'm tall (5'10") and was able to wear it with flats (not my choice, just couldn't find the right heels). It touched the ground and I stepped on it a few times, but for someone my height the option to wear it with flats or heels is nice. Anyone shorter than me would have to hike it up or wear some big girl shoes.

The dress is beautiful and well made, it took a little while for my dress to arrive but it was worth the wait. The colour is perfect for my bridesmaids!

Fast and attentive customer service, dress made to fit after sending my measurements to them. Colour varied slightly but this is as expected with differing screens to view on. All around, I am very pleased
