wore this to a wedding and it was such an easy dress. there is a good amount of stretch and the rouching helped made me look and feel thin without being self conscious. i'm 5'3" 36B cup and 163lb this was TTS for me.

Grandma dress
I’m 5’6” 114lbs I have purchased size XXS. I was so excited to wear my dress at my romantic dinner with my husband.
Resuming, the fabric is cheap and wrinkles easily! I was looking like a rice sac. Such a UGLY dress!
Definitely returning!

color not as expected
Bought this with no reviews and no size guide. I am a 10-12 busty woman and got this in a large. It has a side zip (which I hate) and the dress was too small. I didn’t try to force the zip because as soon as I put it on I knew I’d return it. I would say if you’re a 12 get an XL. If you’re a 10 with no hips and small bust this may fit. The other problem is the color. It’s a dull teal, not peacock blue. The color was absolutely boring on my darker skin. If it has been a bright teal I would’ve exchanged for the next larger size. The color would work better on fairer skin but is still not eye catching. Too bad, could’ve been a great dress!

cute but is it worth that price?
This dress ran pretty small to start with. But when I got the correct size it fit nicely, if you have big hips, size up! I managed to be ok in the chest area because I have a broad chest, though I’m only a c cup, so I don’t really recommend it for gals with smaller chests and big hips unless you’ve got a broad chest. The dress overall is nice but im not sure it’s worth 150 bucks. The side zipper catches my skin and isn’t very convenient, the material isn’t very soft, feels very polyester, and the lining gets kind of screwed up when you put on the dress. I ended up keeping it because I ultimately needed it for an event.

Gorgeous but....
I received the dress and it was absolutely gorgeous except the top of the dress ran small. I had to return it for a medium. Luckily it appears that I got the last one currently in stock. Fingers crossed that I receive it!
