Beaded Gown

This dress is stunning. I bought it for my son’s wedding, but I don’t know if the color is what my future daughter in law will be picking. It fits great. The only needed alterations are a little tighter through the hips, and the hem is uneven. Simple adjustments. I don’t think I can find any dress I would like better. I normally wear betweena 6 and an 8, I ordered the 8, and it is perfect through the top.

I ordered this gown to wear to my daughter's wedding. I was a bit skeptical when I took it out of the box, which by the way, was packed well, in plastic, on a hanger, in a heavy duty box. At first glance I thought the fabric looked a little cheap, almost like a polyester crepe. But when I put the dress on it was truly stunning! It's the perfect amount of sexy with the see through beaded overlay and slit in the skirt just above the knee, but stilll modest for an older Mother-of-the-Bride like me. The dark navy skirt drapes beautifully and is so flattering. The fabric is thick so it camouflages any lumps/bumps or panty lines and is fully lined. The camisole top is just a bit tight across the bust and smooshes my bust a little. I thought I could have the seam taken out 1/4 inch but the camisole and beaded overlay are sewn together down the side seams. The beaded band across the waist is slightly high, almost empire, giving the illusion of a thinner waist and longer legs (skirt). When on, the dress looks very classy, tasteful and expensive. On me, itlooks exactly like the model pictured. For reference I am 5'4", weigh 132 and wear a size 6 dress, 38B bra. This dress ran true to size but I may order an 8 for a looser fit in the bust and have the skirt taken in if needed.

The dress is as described in the description. The beading however is slightly coming off if you are not careful with the dress. The dress minimizes the mid section and makes it look very smooth and longated. It is true to size and if you have wide shoulders it probably will not work for you. The dress itself is made very good and the colors together are stunning! I believe it looks like a Downtown Abbey dress because of the style and form. You will need proper underwear underneath. The material up top is thick due to beading but you will need a strapless bra or a see through bra strap.

From the moment I got engaged I knew I wanted my mother to walk me down the aisle. My father passed away so I couldn't think of anyone else granting me such a beautiful honor. This dress is absolutely perfect for that moment! My mother and I have been searching for over a year for the perfect dress for her and this dress was perfect for her in every way. It has just the right amount of coverage and sparkle. It's comfortable, it's classy, and extremely beautiful in photographs. Make sure to order a size up because this brand runs small.
