This dress is a great deal and much better than I expected! Purchase as a bridesmaid dress and was not disappointed!Material - 2 layers. Soft and fitted but has some stretch and is very comfortable. Outer layer is a lightly textured polyester feel. Inner layer is a soft satin. The detail on the waist is a nice braid with fabric lace on either side and is very well done. There is a very thin satin lining around the bust which is also very nice.Size - I am 5'5" 120lbs Chest 34DD and a true small (2/4). This dress fit as expected for a small. I wore it with a 2 inch heel and it did need to be hemmed about an inch (which I usually expect with a formal dress).I highly recommend this dress and would purchase again. For reference, I ordered 3 other dresses from Macy's at the same time (way more expensive), but I promptly returned the Macy's dresses and kept this one!I used this to attend a wedding. It fit really well, I didn’t need it tailored. I ordered a medium. My pants size is usually around an 8-10. I’m not a very busty woman lol so that wasn’t a problem for me. I recommend it, the material does not feel cheap, and it’s very comfortable to sit and dance in.WHAT A STEAL!!! This is a beautiful dress!! The mauve color is stunning. You cannot beat the price for this dress and it’s quality! I bought it to wear as a bridesmaids dress and I am more than happy with it however I think I am going to have to return it because I am too short for it.Wore this for a military ball. I loved the fit and dress. Not too tight, fit just right. But, unfortunately when the dress came in and we tried to zip it up, the zipper was off track from the start. So, I was unable to completely zip it up, more than half-way. But, for the price it is expected, I suppose.Could be just a fluke one that I received. But, otherwise overall the style and material is simple and I really loved the dress. Besides that I need to replace the zipper.This was the perfect dress for a gala I attended. Perfect length for my height (5’9). I got a medium and it was perfect. I got so many compliments on it and the quality was so much better than I expected!Beautiful dress. Excellent quality. Fit perfect. Can’t believe the price. It would have been much higher from a bridal shop.??So many compliments in this dress just a wow dress.
