Alex Evenings Women's Tea Length Embroidered Cocktail Dress with Illusion Sleeves, Wedding Guest (Petite and Regular Sizes)

I purchased this exquisite Grace Karin dress to wear at a wedding. I loved it right out of the box it came in, and thought of so many ways I might have kept it, but returned it because it was too tight at the bust and too long in the shoulder to waist. (Though I wished it, the fabric does not stretch)The lace is beautiful with rich satin embroidery, catching the light with slight variance at different angle Make no mistake -this is an expensive looking tea-length, a dress in which you may look even more beautiful than the bride at a wedding. It style is timeless and figure forgiving. Tip: there are no pockets in this or most evening wear dresses, so underneath I wear pocketed exercise shorts to hold my phone and other items.The lining is of sufficient weight to lightly flare the heave lace at the hemline. The thing straps are sufficient and attached at the shoulders. The zipper may need some tuggling and help to get over waistline seam, but that is normal.You may want to wear a strapless bra or over the bust corset when trying on because it may make the dress fit differently.Neg: Wish this had been offered in petite plus sizes.

The eggplant color is GORGEOUS!!!! Nice fit. Comfortable fabric. Read a review that commented the under slip was a problem. Didn't see that on mine.

It was a beautiful dress very tight around chest and armholes I wear a size 8 I ordered a size 10 had to return it I have reordered it in a size 12No idea how many alterations if any I will have to make it is for my Granddaughters wedding in August keeping my fingers crossed

I ordered a 10; an 8 would have been too small but I still had to have it altered. The sleeve opening was a little wide and the bodice needed to be taken in. I guess the seamstress had to take it apart at the waist to fix everything, but now it fits great and is very pretty. Wearing for my niece's spring wedding. 64, 5'7", 135.

This dress is so pretty, but it is impossible to wear with a bra. It definitely requires a strapless bra, which is a huge NO for this mom. The liner has these flimsy, built in cups that just add to the misery. (And what mother of the bride is going braless to a wedding?) Returning.

I love this dress. It fits well and looks great for a wedding.

Very nicely made but runs small.

Poor fit on top,wasn’t what I expected. Returned dress.
