Long Sleeve Embellished Evening Gown

Stunning dress. Ran true to sizing guide. High quality. Very heavy, due to all of the glass beading. Too hot for a spring wedding in Florida, but would be perfect for fall or winter in a cooler climate. I typically wear a 2 in a dress. Followed measurement guidelines and purchased a 4 for the bust. I believe this dress looked beautiful, but it would be even more attractive on someone with a smaller chest. I wear a 34DD. If I was a B or C, would have worn a 2 in this. I am 5’3” and 110lbs. Hips were more than plenty big on me, but due to the weight of the dress, it hung fine (33 hip, but would have fit probably up to 38 comfortably).

This dress cost $755. I would expect it to arrive like other dresses I purchased from Nordstroms at HALF that price. In a nice box, maybe some tissue paper.. NOPE!! This dress arrived on a plastic hanger, tossed in a box, with bead damage!!! WOW !! JUST WOW!! I have no other words!! And it came from the manufacturer, Mac Duggal, NOT Nordstroms. Thats the kicker !!

This dress is gorgeous. However just taking it out the plastic cover sequins/beads/embellishments were falling off all over the floor. I put the dress on walked to my mirror and there was a trail of sequins/beads behind me. I picked up as many as I could see, and taped them to the tag. I sent the dress back. Didn't want to take a chance wearing to my birthday party for fear there would be no sequins or beads left on the dress. Thus dress costs too much for the embellishments to be falling off the way they were.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this dress! I wore it to a black tie wedding and it was perfect. I received compliments all evening. The size is true. But I will add that because of the beading, the dress is heavy. Once I put it on, I didn’t notice the extra weight though.
