Elegant Red Dress

The dress is flattering in the middle section , the drape makes it elegant, and the red makes it stand out. My client is 5’5, 200lbs the 16w looks fantastic on her.

Heavy Weight Material

Material was heavy and not as flowing as I thought it would be. It also ran small for my pear shape.

classy

I bought this dress for a work awards dinner, the compliments I received were classy, classic, elegant. The dress was true to size, extremely comfortable and made me feel confident in my plus size. Worth the price

Great fit, but careful of color

This dress fits/drapes beautifully, particularly for curvier figures. But if you’re ordering the Blush color, be aware that it has a strong peach tone. If you’re hoping for a classic, cool toned blush pink, this isn’t that.

Drape Back Cocktail Dress

This dress looks amazing! It accentuates my waist and hugs my curves in all the right places. The red is beautiful! It’s made well. It’s also made in the USA!

Elegant dress

16w Top of dress was a little loose not as form fitting as the bottom half, I decided to go with a size 16 reg, I am a curvy gal and the dress actually holds you in and up in all the right places! Seems to be very comfortable and somewhat stretchy, I will be wearing it to the next wedding for sure!
