OMG this dress is amazing

I looked at least 20 lbs lighter with the ruched waist. Material is very stretchy and forgave many flaws. I was the mother of the groom and felt very comfortable even in the warmer temps. I cannot say enough about this dress. It was very classy, elegant, slimming, and comfortable.

has no hem - fabric has "cut" edge on hemline

Fit was TTS, fabric is very stretchy but feels like a scuba diver, sort of waterproof. Color was nice, a dusty blue. But the texture of the fabric felt cheap. Should be a $99 dress not>$200. Length is short. I am 5'3" & it hit above the knee at a size 6. Hugs all your curves. Not too plunging a neckline. But the hemline is worrisome as it seems after wearing it the raw edges would begin to fray. Is going back!

very flattering

The fabric is heavy but flows nicely and covers any flaws. It feels wonderful on. Very flattering shape. The style is classic so I hope to use this for a long time. I am 5'8", 130 lbs and the 6 fit perfectly.

Super flattering and forgiving

This material is amazing! The fit is perfect. I’m a size 6, 5’4” and this dress was right above my knee. I’m ordering a second one in black! I got the blue.

Cocktails anyone?

I bought this dress for a wedding I attended. Dress was cocktail attire and a brunch to early afternoon affair. It was perfect. It fits wonderfully and is very flattering. I am 62 years young, weigh 194 at 5’8” ad it was so comfortable. I hope I get to wear it again. Many many compliments!!
