The dress is gorgeous, my daughter's face lit up when she opened it. I do have some problems with this order. The snaps that attach the veil on the back are very loose. All three fell off the second day playing with it. If you can sew this is an easy fix to reinforce the snaps. Only other problem I had was Amazon guaranteed this shipment before February 15, my daughter's birthday party. I finally got the package on February 24, way past guaranteed day. Luckily we had other gifts for her but I was disappointed. Overall I was very impressed with the dress itself.

The design of the dress is pretty but that's about it.  I made the mistake of relying on other reviews to order a size L for myself (160 lbs).  Unfortunately when I received the dress I opened it, took a quick glance and put it away.  I finally took it out yesterday more than a month after I ordered it to put it on for a party.  I was pretty bummed when I realized the dress was probably 2-3 sizes too small and wouldn't go past my breasts.  The L is more like a size 6.  To make matters worse, I quickly went online to request a return label and my order said that the return window had expired on July 7.  Double whammy.  I tried selling it to a cousin of mine who is smaller. She was about to say yes when she realized the stitching on the skirt part had already come undone from her just trying it on for 5 minutes.  Triple whammy.  She commented that this is why this dress is only $16.  The stitching is horrible and someone mentioned that the dress looks like it was made in someone's craft shop and they are correct.  It looks like it was made by a novice dressmaker.  The dress is slightly see-through as well.  I eventually just let my cousin keep the dress at no cost as I didn't want to hassle with trying to return the dress.  If you want a  dress to go to a wedding, graduation party, garden party or any day event,  this is NOT the dress for you.  If you are a college student on a budget and are looking for a fun, eye-catching dress you can wear to a night party or to a club, get it because $16 for a party dress to wear once or twice is worth it.  I would not have minded this dress in my college days.  But it's not a dress you want to wear in the daytime due to the quality of the material, the poor stitching and see-throughness for lack of a better word.  For this I would give it 2.5 stars if I could. But not 3. Or 4 and for sure not 5 stars.  The one last thing that I did not like is that it does not come with any tags; I had to have my cousin smell the dress to believe me that it was not a used.

I fell in love with dress when I saw it online. I went and tried on a few dresses, but I still wanted this one. In the original picture, the dress is a little long with a low cut v neck. The dress does not look like it has a corset, but it does so I would recommend making sure your measurements are 100% accurate. I ordered my dress in champaign, but I though it just looked more like a light yellow color. It was still pretty. My dress was very long and way too huge in the bust section. I took it to my aunt who is a seamstress and she was able to adjust the length. She could not do anything about the bust section because it was a corset. I also felt the top section where the neck/chest area is was too wide. My aunt was able to cut some of the extra material off. Overall, I was very satisfied with my dress. However, I still wish it hadn't been a corset and was the way it was pictured in the top photo. The corset was not comfortable. I included pictures of the details. The two I took at home were before the alterations.

I ordered my dress a month before the wedding (late, I know), and paid $20 extra to have it shipped immediately. I received a tracking number for the dress, and it was expected to be derived to my house on July 28th, a Friday. That day came and I did not have my dress. I was freaking out because I wanted to try it on and make sure I had enough time to take it to a seamstress in case it needed adjustments. The tracking number said the dress had been delivered in George. I live in Texas. I did not have a number to call the seller, but I did send them an email. They sent me an email the following day saying the tracking number I was given was incorrect. They provided me with the correct one and said the dress would be delivered on  Monday. My dress did end up arriving on Monday.

Dont ordet if you want the dress ahown in photo! Yes, I did see the previous review that stated they got a diff dress then in photo. I took a chance anyway since there is free return ship.  If you a car wash rag dress with an odd circle gold one sholder strap, go for it. Color is similar but its cheaply looking dress. You would think Amazon would get this straightened out. No luck

The dress is not a cotton blend. It is 95% polyester and 5% elastane. This is not a nice polyester, either. I ordered the dress in black and although it was loose on me, it was see through. The material is very thin and was shiny. When I contacted the company about a them paying return shipping for a refund, they told me that I paid a good price for the dress and should be happy. They said they will not pay for return shipping. They also mentioned they are aware of the false advertising of the item as a cotton dress. They said in their defense the picture which showed the dress was not cotton either. Well, I cant tell what material a item of clothing is made out of by looking at it which is why I rely on item descriptions in making a decision to purchase or not. I did request a return be initiated and the company did refund my money. I will not be shipping the dress back to china where it came from because I do not believe I should have to pay for their lack of integrity, falsely advertising their product.

The dress is beautiful...however...the seam is serged (an overlock stitch for raw edges) with white thread. The thread used should have been predominant color of the dress (light  blue). As other reviews pointed out, the seam is in the front. Because the dress is sheer, a French seam, or a seam that is turned under should have been used, if the seam had to be in the front. I will be re-sewing the seam in the front bodice to hide the serged edges visible through the front of the dress. As it is, the dress has a very nightgown vibe. I will also probably purchase light blue ribbon to sew around the hem at the bottom of the dress. It has a nice lettuce-edge, small overlock stitch; but a lighter blue, matching the predominant color of the material should have been used. Again, because of the sheer fabric, the lettuce-edge gives the dress a nightgown vibe. I don't completely regret the purchase. I paid too much for it to be having to finish sewing it, but it is beautiful, it fits, and I should be able to make it wearable. A final note: a close-up on the front seam on the bodice should be available on the product views for other sellers to make informed decisions.

The dress is beautiful but unless you are a basketball player it will be to long. Im 5 6 and 120 lbs I got a large its a good 8 inches to long I have to shorten it. My mom is 5 10 and its to long for her. Some advice to the company please shorten your dresses. The dress is beautiful though it just needs to be a lot shorter.

Just got the dress and when i opened it up it is breath taking it's so beautiful!!!! I eyeballed it for a moment and was like this is going to big a little too big on me. When i tried it on it was HUGE on me! I'm in between a size 26W-32W and this dress felt like a 38W-40W. I thought getting a 3x would be safe but unfortunately i'm going to have to send it back for a 1x possibly a XL it's so big. I see it unavailable on the site now so i'm hoping they will be able to exchange it because this was my dream dress it's that beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!

The dress is beautiful and fits perfectly. But, it is not exactly as pictured on the site. It is similar but the lining skirt is about 6 inches shorter than the tule skirt. The entire dress is shorter than expected as the dress is advertised as ankle length. They took all of my measurements to make the dress including height, but it is tea length not ankle length. The applications on the dress are not as large as the pictures on the site show either. One of them was off as far as placement. I received the dress much faster than expected and it fits perfectly. Just be aware that what you get isn't quite what's pictured. The first pic is what I got and the second is from the site.

The dress was beautiful and very well made.  The length was perfect for my 9 year old, however the top/bodice was huge!  Every dress I have purchased from Amazon........the 6's fit at the top, but the length is just too short.  So, I tried the 8 and length is perfect, but the rest of the dress is too big.  I would def order from this seller again and do a custom (top portion size 6, length size 8)!!!!

It was really a nice dress but was not sewed on the side of the dress. It had a big wide opening that my daughter in-law did not notice it until she left the house. It was for a church event. However, I had to come home after the service to mend the dress. I was very disappointed. Please, make sure you view the dress thoroughly before using.

I wish I could give this 3 1/2 stars, but I will give it four,  because, for the price, it is beautiful,  just doesn't fit quite as shown in the picture  I am 5'9"  and 136lbs  and am SWIMMING  in the medium.  Based on the size chart, I measured more like a small, but because of my hip measurements, my height, and some of the other reviews, I thought it would be safer to go with the medium.  I definitely chose wrong! This is not the dress's fault,  but I would definitely say that if you are between sizes, to size down. I read another reviews that said that the arms were tight. I don't think of myself as having especially tiny arms, and the arms are way too baggy.  The dress is also fairly sheer, but it's not hugely obvious when wearing it. It is also much longer than depicted in the photo. If I wear it off of the shoulders it's at my knee, and I am tall.  I'm going to keep it, because I need it for any event tomorrow, but I will probably have it taken in. I would still recommend the stress, just pay special attention to measurements :-)

This is a beautiful dress, but you darn well better have either a flawless figure or order a size larger. I tried so hard to justify keeping it, but if I gained a pound, I'd be out of luck. One thing that truly bothered me was that the super stiff  care tag was sewn into the side seem about thigh high. This is a very fine knit, and the tag was clearly visible and ruined the line of the dress. In order for it not to show, I would have had to cut so close to the seam that I would be afraid of damaging the dress. So - to all you tall, willowy people out there - this is for you. To those of us who tend to have a bulge here and there - not so much.

This dress is absolutely beautiful. The price is fabulous, as well.  HOWEVER, believe what is written by other posters.  The dress is ridiculously LONG. I am 5'7" and had to have 5" taken off the bottom, my goal being to be able to waltz in the dress on a cruise.  I paid $175 to have it hemmed, because it has FIVE LAYERS of chiffon and liner.  So, if you add the price of the hemming to the price of the dress... it's still just barely worth it.  (My seamstress still hemmed the dress too long, though, so I was unable to dance in it after all--major disappointment.)
