It was a perfect dress for a military ball

It was a perfect dress for a military ball. I'm 5'5" 121 pounds, size 6 fits me perfectly. The back part of the dress was completely a corset, so I (my husband had to help me tie my corset) could adjust the size. The Dress materials don't look cheap and everyone at the ball asked me where I bought my dress. (:
Beautiful formal dress!

Loved it!! I did not expect to be that beautiful. Many many compliments on this dress. However, for small sized ladies I recommend not to order one size bigger. Stick to your true size. I normally wear size 0-2, first based of the reviews I ordered size 4, but it was way too big. I reordered in size 2 and this time was perfect.
Perfect for a military ball A+++

I bought this dress with plenty of time for a plan B if it was awful, but when it arrived on my door step and I felt the weight of the package, I became excited.I didn't expect the dress to fit so well, but it was perfect. The corseted back allows for wiggle room.I'm an 8/10, ordered a 10 and did not need to alter it.I cannot count how many times I got compliments over my dress at the ball. People were shocked when I told them where I got it and for how much. A++++
Beautiful!

I was taking a risk getting this, was hoping it wasn't some cheap Chinese dress. It is beautiful! Feels well made and fits perfectly. So happy I took the chance.
Beautiful but tiny

Gorgeous dress but runs WAY small! I ordered a 16. I'm just under 5'9 & just under 200lbs, measurements are 40x37x47 & I could not begin to get this dress on...I actually got stuck halfway in it & had to get my son to help me out...(it was quite comical). The material is black lace over a non-shiny satin type polyester which has absolutely no give. If there had been a zipper option I may have gotten further, but it has a corset lace up back, while not a bad idea for adjustability, you definitely need a second person to lace you up after your in it, or you need to be thin enough to wiggle in it after you initially loosly lace up the back. If there was some give in the material, it would allow the dress to slide over your curves, but I'm not sure how to get into this one...I attempted over the head after I realized there was not a chance in heck I was going to be able to step into it, & that is how I got stuck...I have a thinner friend I'm going to let try it on...if it goes on her I will update & let you know her measurements so you'll know what a 16 will fit onto. I would love to give it a higher star rating, but the sizing is just too far off.UPDATE: My friend tried on this dress - she is normally a size 8/10 and wears a 34B bra. This dress was somewhat big on her, but not by much. she was planning to re-order down a size to a 14 or 12 & see how that fit
Five Stars

Amazing dress! It's hard to move your arms though, so be aware of that!
Stunning!

Absolutely a gorgeous dress!! My daughter couldn't be more pleased with this dress for her prom. Very flattering on her and true to size. This dress has a beautiful corset back. So of course it makes it a pain in the butt to thread and time consuming but I'm not taking any stars from the dress because of it. It makes it even more elegant and brings it together perfectly. The dress is very well made, sturdyHer and I couldn't be more happy with this stunning piece! Even better is that it got here in two days and if there were any problems they have free returns. Highly recommend! It fits true to size for my daughter. She wears a size 12. She's 5'4" and 155 lbs. it's a little long for her but nothing a nice pair of heels couldn't fix.
Found my wedding dress!

This is my wedding dress. I LOVE it! It's so flattering, and the corset back makes it easy to adjust if you lose weight before your wedding! It's very long, but that's to be expected. Just needs hemmed. If I had bought a similar dress at David's Bridal it would cost $1,500, $2000 easy. It has a lot of detail at the neckline, and the lace and satin feel exquisite. I'm buying this veil to go with it: 1T 1 Tier Floral Scallop Embroided Lace Pearl Veil - Ivory Fingertip Length 36" V471. I haven't received it yet so I'll update this when I do, but it looks like it will match this dress like they were made for each other.There is a small pink stain on the lace up ribbon, but it can easily be hidden. The dress needs dry cleaned, it comes folded up in a regular package. The lace under the arms can be a little itchy.This review might change as my wedding date comes closer, but right now I am so in love with this dress. I have never been so emotionally attached to a dress before. This was the second one I tried through Amazon - the first one was also VERY nice, but as unflattering as a dress could be on me. I looked like my hips were ten miles wide. In this one I feel curvaceous and vivacious! I would have preferred the lacing be a little tighter, but a work friend was helping me and we didn't want to take too long - we were at work! I plan on wearing an under dress corset - it will be under bust, because this dress has extra supports and a little padding so no bra is needed! Also it won't hide any panty lines, so you'll want to wear hose.I'll add more after the wedding so you can see it in action!
