Great dress for younger girls

I purchased this for my teen daughter in garnet for an event that called for her to wear red. She loved the dress so much that I’ve recently purchased it in light pink for her to wear to a springtime event. I sized up one size based on reviews and while it fit her from the waist down, we had to have the shoulder area taken in a bit. She’s 5’8” and wore 2 inch heels. Length was perfect. I see it as a younger girls dress based on the two colors I’ve purchased, but in black or a darker color, I’m sure it would flatter any age. I thought the quality was quite good.

Disappointed

After reading other reviews, I ordered a size up because most reviews said the dress ran small. Well, the waist ran small but the top was way too big and looked more like a scoop neck than a boat neck. The lower part of the dress had so much material it it looked like a train and it was too long. I’m 5’6 and the front was below my knees. I would have had to have the entire dress reconstructed to fit me the way it should. Returned it.

Not for those actually tall...

I wanted to love this dress! But unfortunately, for someone actually tall (6-feet), the bodice was too short and fit awkwardly (blousing out at the pockets) and the front of the dress was way too short (only covered half my thighs). Beware of Alfred Sung dresses if you're tall - none of them have been long enough on me, unfortunately. It also flattens your chest quite a bit.

Simple and elegant

I bought this in the burgundy color--very simple and elegant. I'm petite (5'2", 32x25x33, 105 lbs), and the size 0 fit me perfectly: form-fitting in the torso area (as I've experienced with many bridesmaids dresses), but still able to wear a regular bra, with a full A-line skirt. I also tried the size 2 (due to reviews saying it runs small), and the difference for me was a looser torso and a bit wider skirt.

Incredibly beautiful, true to size

This dress is incredibly beautiful. It would be perfect for a formal occasion like a black tie wedding. It appeared just like in the picture. I originally bought a 4 after reading reviews saying it ran small, and the 4 was fine but 2 fit much better—if you have a larger chest, sizing up may be the way to go, since there's not a lot of forgiveness in the fabric. For reference I'm 5" 7', 125 lbs, 26" waist and B cup.

Very small

I ordered one size up and it was still too small. I returned it and decided to go with a dress I already own.

Its OKAY fit too large will be returning

I purchased in a burgundy color shipping was fast took 4 days to receive. I am a 36c weight 150pds height is 5'6, curvy body. Dress fit right below the knee. I ordered a size 14 it fit too large Im usually a size 10-12 but since this dress runs small I ordered a size up. It didnt fit I'm almost sure a 12 would've fit perfect. The color I ordered is sold out in size 12. I will re-order in Navy blue or Black. I liked the dress overall, not worth its price though in quality. Hope this helps y'all.
