Alex EveningsWomen's 3/4 Sleeve Stretch Lace Bodice Mock One Piece Gown

In the process of looking for an evening gown to wear on a cruise, specifically in plum, I found this one. The style is great for me, because I am 5'6" and slightly long-waisted, weighing about 148.I usually wear a 10 in an evening gown, and this dress runs true to size. When I ordered it, there were no 10's available, so I ordered it in a 12. Even though the 12 was too large on me, it still hug very nicely, and draped perfectly.It is extremely well-made and the fabric is just so beautiful. The lace top is not stiff or scratchy at all. In fact, it is very soft and stretchy and feels very good next to your skin. The sequins is beautifully embedded in the lace fabric, giving it a very sophisticated and elegant look. There are French darts that form the waist-skimming look of the top part, giving it a slimmer look.The skirt has an under layer of solid fabric with an over-layer of chiffon, no gathering. It is very flattering and very slimming. If you have a thick waist or a tummy that you are trying to disguise, this is definitely a dress you should look at seriously. The structure completely hides any issues like that.Even though the marketing photos show the dress well above her ankle, it actually came down to the floor on me. I ordered it in an average length, not the petite, and I needed to remove 2 or 3 inches of length to get it just right. It is indeed a long floor-length gown. The skirt is A-line in shape. but drapes nicely to a slim look.I highly recommend.

This is the PERFECT evening dress! I spent nearly 10 months searching for a pretty, simple and flattering dress to wear to my niece's wedding. I would never have anticipated that this would present such a challenge! The main problem is that there basically are NO styles suitable and becoming for older women. There appear to be two extremes: either shift or sheath dresses which cling and reveal everything you do not want revealed, or 'fit and flare' dresses which have a nice top and waist but crinoline puffy skirts which make any woman look FAT. Then, there are the problems with plunging necklines, slits up the legs, low backs, etc. I am 60 years old. For reference I am 5' 1" and weigh 118 lbs. My measurements are 34-28-36. I am about 8 pounds heavier than way back in college. I have always worn a size 6 petite. That is another issue; it is exceedingly difficult to find petite dresses that aren't designed for women in their 20s and 30s. This dress looks good and feels good. With low heels (2 inches) the hem is the perfect length; another plus. This dress did not require any alterations, AND I purchased it at a bargain price! The jewel neckline is just right and the back comes down in a V, but not too low. It has a nice long zipper and is easy to get on and off, not like some of the other dresses I tried. One, I struggled to get out of for twenty minutes in my bathroom. The bodice is pretty, decorated, just lightly with sequins and the skirt flows nicely with a classic A line hem. It has a chiffon layer over the polyester layer. One reviewer complained that the material was shoddy. But MOST clothes these days are not made from gorgeous, expensive silks, satins, real velvets, etc. That was a generation(s) ago. And, the color is lovely. Originally, I was looking for a burgundy/cranberry red dress which is my favorite color and looks best on me, but the 'plum' color is exquisite. One reviewer described it as more like 'merlot wine'. It's more purple than wine color. I couldn't be happier with my purchase! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Bought this for a Spring wedding. The color is a darker blue than I expected. The fit is perfect for those who like fitted clothes. (My personal preference is for a little looser fit.) I'm not short, 5'7" and the hem hits the floor.

A very nice, pretty formal gown. I wanted something conservative but not dowdy. This one works. I am 5 feet tall (125 lbs) so, even with 2 inch heels, I may need to take it up about a half inch but that's okay. It doesn't seem to wrinkle. It's lightweight but not see through at all. I am 38D on top and the Petite 10 just fits, if that's helpful to anyone. Thank you to other shoppers who wrote their reviews before me. I used them and I got the fit that I needed. Much appreciated!!

This is my second purchase of this dress. I wore it in Plum as Mother of the Bride then in Wedgewood Blue for my 50th Wedding Anniversary vow renewal and reception. On both occasions I received numerous compliments on how beautiful and flattering my dress was. I love this dress and highly recommend it.

Bought this for my sons wedding and it fit perfectly. Was so comfortable and I got many compliments including my son with “ Mom, you look beautiful.” I loved the 3/4 sleeves and the overlay at the stomach hiding my stomach. You will not be disappointed .

Love this dress!!! Exactly what I expected!! I’m heavy set and short so I hate shopping but this dress worked for me for an evening wedding.

I ordered this through the Amazon Prime Wardrobe program. Because I'm still undecided on my dress for my son's wedding, I went ahead and returned this one for the time being. But it's one of the top runners'- up. It's really important to me to be comfortable, covered, and classy for this event. I'm 5'9, and the waist-line is a tiny bit higher than I'd like, to be honest. But I don't think it's going to be a deal-breaker. The only downside, and this isn't the fault of the dress, is this will be June wedding in Texas. The fabric is light, and the dress isn't heavy (though the quality is high), but I'm still thinking that by the time we're dancing at the indoor wedding venue, something this long might be more stifling that I want. I'm keeping it in mind, and while it's a definite "maybe", it's not a bullseye.

I liked everything about this dress. In particular, I was pleased that the colour of the material was the same as the picture and the dress was nicely finished off. Perfect length too. I am going to wear this dress for my son's wedding in California in February. Thank you for a speedy delivery. I will enjoy wearing this dress. It's perfect.

The fit was perfect, it’s so comfortable, and I love that I can dress it up or down. I liked the navy one so much, I ordered two more colours! I am bringing the navy one to my daughter’s wedding this Spring in case it gets chilly, it will be beautiful with lovely with my dress. Someone else had mentioned about washing by hand. My washer has a great delicate cycle and I use mesh laundry bags for really gentle items with much luck. I’m going to try that and will let you know how it goes...

This dress is lovely. I bought it for the celebration of renewing my wedding vows after 38 years so it was important that it be perfect. It fit and felt wonderful.

I ordered a 6P and 8P as I was not sure how the fit would be. The fitting for this dress is perfect and the material is soft and flowy. Not too glittery. There is a subtle shine from the sequins in the top. I am delighted with the purchase.

The dress is beautiful, fits perfectly. Purchased as an alternate, didn’t wear due to temperature on the day. Decided to keep dress for future use.
