I thought this dress was nice for the money. It was very inexpensive. It wasn't the best quality. Some of the beads were loose, but it wasn't a big deal to fix and again, for the price...I think it was well worth it

I needed that black long dress for the winter holiday season, the one that works for everything, offends no one, and is ready to go in a flash. This was it! It is flattering and comfortable.
A terrible disappointment!

This is a beautiful dress, but I had to return it because of poor fit and poor workmanship. It was entirely too short (I'm 5'7"). The bust was padded, but both the padding and the empire waist were too high.

I've been looking to replace my "cruise dress" that I wear for dress up night. I saw this and ordered it in time but unfortuantely it ran a size too small so I was not able to take it on that trip. The larger size fits perfect and my husband can't wait for me to wear it.

I love this dress. It's wrinkle resistant for travel, good cut, nice detail, not too revealing. I would have exchanged it for a size 18 if that were available. It is too tight for me through the midriff right now, but it's sending me back to the gym so that hopefully I will be able to wear it in a month or so.

I was planning to wear this to my son's up-coming wedding however the zipper was too difficult to manuever up and down.... I was afraid it would break the day of the wedding so I must return the dress. Otherwise, it is so beautiful, fits very perfectly and the length was just right for a petite. No alterations would have been needed.

This is a beautiful dress. I would have kept it but the bust has padding in it like a padded bra. However, the problem with the padding is that it 'peaks' well above where it should. I felt as though I had an upper and lower bust line.
