I liked how well the gown itself fit except for a pucker in the zipper; but the lace and bead work on the top of the back tended to be itchy and lay kind of heavy. This tended to make the back of the dress droop from the neckline to the top of the dress itself. I ran a piece of clear thread across the neckline on each side to gather it a little bit which tended to lift it enough but it was still kind of itchy. Body tape could probably be used also.

The dress is absolutely gorgeous. Fit is right,the problem is its a bit see through so will need some kind of long strapless slip and the fabric is very delicate- Very easy to snag. Had a snag in the top when first trying it on. Whether from the beads catching it or in shipping, I don't know. We are looking for something that won't be ruined before the event. Pity it,s a beautiful dress for the occasion

The color, to me, appears to be more mint than sage. Also, though the fit was ok, I felt going to the next size might make the zipper lay flat.
Loved the beading on the illusion on the back. The design was nice but the fabric quality was a turnoff. Decided to return it and order something else.

Fabric & beadwork was not as high quality as other dresses I've tried -- very pretty color. Poor fit was the reason I sent it back. Just wasn't for me -- too long in the waist (the bust fit well but the "illusion" beadwork was way too big), too tight in the hips, too short in length.

Classic

I wore the dress once to prom and before I even got to the dance the straps were half torn in the front. The mesh on the straps doesn't hold well to the dress. Overall it was a little short for those of us who are on the tall side. It is also a little lower cut than in the picture, especially if you are bigger chested. I am happy with the dress, although it only got one wear.
