Beautiful Color and Lovely Fabric

I really love the color. Its a flattering cut. The skirt wraps around so that the you are not fighting an open slit all night. The fabric feels so nice. It says its jersey which I thought was t-shirt material and this is definitely not that...Is very nice to the touch. I don't love the embellishment but I also don't hate it. I do wish it had sleeves as my arms are past the time to show them but I like the dress enough to show them anyway. Love the length. You can showcase your shoes with this length. Then, when you take them off later, the dress will not drag the ground. I bought this as a mother of the groom dress for an October wedding in a location that could still be pretty warm at that time. I found the fit true to size. I'm 5/8, 154 and bought an 8.

Dress has a weird chemical smell. The material is scratchy.

Great dress! Do not hesitiate to buy it!

Love this dress! The fabric is on the thicker size, stretchy, comfortable, which helps me to looks smoother, slimmer. I would almost describe it as a lightweight neoprene like surfing suits are made from. Just enough sparkle. Really good quality!

Beautiful Dress, Wonderful to have it in Petite

This is a beautiful jewel toned dress, a vibrant violet. It's so great to have a dress that doesn't need hemming. I'm 5'4" and ordered 8PP, and it fit great. Another dress edged it out, but just barely, for wearing to a wedding.

The Winner of MOG dress

Was surprised with the fabric but it fit like a glove except hips (which are alway too big) and the color beautiful. It was the winner in the dress quest.
