Flattering and Comfortable...PERFECT!
Gorgeous and flattering evening dress accentuates an hourglass figure. It has a soft cup built in bra so if you want additional support you'll need a strapless or invisible strap bra. (Nude straps show too much.) The lining through the torso is substantial so it doesn't feel cheap or clingy. The lace is sheer but not itchy. My arms are on the big side but the sleeves are not tight. The embellishments on neckline and cuffs are tasteful and don't look cheap. The rouching at the waste hides belly fat and the gathers on the back hide back fat. The skirt has several sheer layers with one cut on the diagonal to add interest without bulk. The skirt does not have a slit. I'm 5'6" and with 2-3" heals the dress will need to be hemmed. I wear a 12 consistently and I fit into a 10 perfectly. The most important point is that it's very comfortable! Noticed in photographs with low light the dress can look black. Husband, daughter and sister gives this 5 stars on me, as Mother of the Bride. Looks sophisticated and elegant without looking frumpy or too sexy. This dress can be found on 4 retail sites but good luck finding your size...it sells out quickly...and I can see why!

Very different color
The dress is beautiful but it is a very different color (much darker/bluer) than the “violet” color that was shown online. So I need to return it. Very disappointing.

Perfect for Mother-of-the_Groom
I need a dress for the Mother-of-the-Groom. I'm a size 10 with a few rolls on my back. This dress is perfect, as the material is stretchy and the back is designed to hide the rolls. I like the beaded neck and arms. The arm cover helps hide the 59 year old arms.

Runs large
In process of shopping for mother-of-groom dresses and this one is in the running. I ordered it in a 14 because no 12s were in stock and the 14 was too big. I saw where others mentioned this dress ran a little large and so (upon the advice of a Nordstrom associate which helpfully provided a link in an email) I ordered a 12 from another seller and the size 10 from Nordstrom. I received the size 10 from Nordstrom in lightning quick time and wow--the 10 fits like a dream. It is a beautiful dress. The ruching at the waist and back are so lovely and figure flattering. In person the color seems a bit darker; but otherwise is fine. And the stones at the neck and on the sleeves add the extra something that makes the dress stand out. This might be a keeper. (From trying on other Alex Evening gowns in a store I had pretty much determined that I was a size 12 in that brand but I'm a 10 in this dress.)

perfect for a fall wedding
Wore this dress this past weekend to my step daughter’s wedding.
Super comfortable wore a size 14, doesn’t need a bar due to the bone/tight bodice. Skirt has a little stretch was comfortable all night.

Elegance
Simple but elegant has always been my mantra and this dress fits that description. The cut is very flattering and the fit was perfect. The embellishments on the neckline are enough to make it sparkly without glitter from head to toe.

Best of the group
Have been trying on dresses for the past 3 months to find the Mother of the Groom dress for my son's evening wedding in late May. As a 60+ year-old, 5 ft 3 inches tall, 160 pounds and used to have an hour glass figure, this dress covers up a lot of figure faults in a modest and elegant fashion. Even needing hemming of about 3-inches and wearing with 2+ inches of heel, it is well worth the price.
