If I could give it six stars I could
Well where do I start! This dress is amazing for the price. I've bought this for a black tie works Christmas party, I didn't want to spend the earth but wanted something georgeous. To be honest I couldn't believe the reviews for the price. Firstly, I am 5'2" and size 12-14 but more brands fit as 12. I read the reviews carefully and bought 16-18. It fits perfectly. I may have squeezed into the smaller size but expect I would spend my whole time breathing in. Because of the cut and weight of the fabric it hits all the right places as it goes down rather than look loose. My height means the sequin part is about 2-3" above my knee - perfect. I expected to raise the shoulders as I do for most clothes, thank goodness I can sew, but I don't need to! I will have to take about 6" off the bottom. I may even put a ribbon edge on the hem to give some weight to the voile. The fabric is beautiful and the photos do not do justice to the sparkle and pattern of the top part of the dress. The bottom part is opaque rather than really see through and fine as, being short, it doesn't start too far up my legs. If I had seen this in a shop I would have paid much more - I have paid much more for a heavily beaded/sequinned dress. I bought the blue and it is a lovely midnight blue with very complementary beading. Finally it was delivered timely with hardly any creases to the voile.

Exceeds Expectations
I ordered this to wear to a friend's themed wedding party. I wanted something that wasn't too expensive because I probably won't get to wear it often but that didn't look obviously "fancy dress". I am absolutely blown away by this dress, especially for the price. I am between sizes (16 top, 14 bottom) so I ordered the XL, which fits but loosely - which is fine by me. If I'd wanted a snug fit, I think the next size down would have been perfect. I'm only 5'2" so it's way too long but because of the way it's constructed it's easy to shorten. It's beautifully beaded and looks stunning. Oh, and I ordered it on Friday night and it arrived on Saturday afternoon. Can't fault it.

Good fit
Great for Great Gatsby themed party. Delivered within a few days which was great as it was a last minute purchase as other dress ordered wasn't exactly what I wanted.Lovely bead decoration, the bottom skirt part is see through so I did end up wearing a slip underneath as I am quite tall and the beaded part only came to miniskirt length on me. But others that wore the same type of dress that night were average height or below and did not need to as it fell longer on them. Personal choice too as I doubts anyone would see much through the netting.Worth trying if curvy as although straight shape dress (not ideal style for pear shape women) it does fit nicely as has some stretch in it

Lovely sparkly dress
Lovely dress. The sequins were dazzling and put sparkle to the dress. As previously stated by other reviewers, the skirt is see-through mesh. I did not have to cut or alter it in anyway as it was the right length for me. The bodice seemed a little short, and the mesh started higher than expected, but I just wore a short slip under the dress so I showed as much leg as I wanted. I even bought a long slip and plan to wear it under the dress to wear at events where visible legs may not be appropriate.I am satisfied with my purchase and had a lot of complements about it

fits comfortably. The sequinned part of the dress actually sits ...
This dress looks worth several times more than the amount I paid for it. I am normally size 12, ordered medium, fits comfortably. The sequinned part of the dress actually sits on top of the longer tulle underskirt so if you lift the hem of the sequinned part, and either stitch or safety pin it, you can adjust it very easily to a suitable shorter length. I have adjusted it so the front is a normal maxi length, and left the back alone - creating a slight train at the back - stunning, Very elegant for Great Gatsby or even Hollywood party. Genuinely delighted with purchase.

Lovely dress ....
This is for my 60th birthday party. I usually purchase high-end expensive gowns but decided to shop around. Absolutely beautiful fitting dress. I am normally size UK14 bottom half and UK16 top half, so ordered size L 16-18 . It's slightly loose around my slim hips but looks nice. The top half fits perfectly. Lovely skirt slightly see through but elegant. Nice concealed back zip with a symmetrical finish for the sequin patterning. A good purchase and arrived in 3 days!

Amazing value for money!
I'm currently training to be a hairdresser and have to do a showcase as part of my course. So I ordered this dress for my 'strictly come dancing- Waltz' theme! I'm so happy with it! The colour is perfect, the style is just what I was looking for! My friend will wear it on the day of the showcase while I style her hair to fit the theme and it fits her lovely. Amazing dress for the price and very very happy!

gorgeous dress
This dress is gorgeous and seems more expensive than it is. I'm a UK size 14 so bought a large. It was a little big. I then bought a medium which is a little tight around the middle but wearable with control underwear. The size issue is why I knocking a star off. It is long, I'm short to be honest, but because of the way it has been made, with 2 layers, would be easy to take it up an inch of you wanted to. I'm opting for very high heals. The dress is beautiful, moderately made and quite frankly nicer and better value than the dresses I've seen in the shop this season.

If you are thinking about it, just buy this dress
This is the second dress I bought - in 2019 I bought the bergundy with black for a Christmas 'black tie optional' event. It fit wonderfully and looked great. I am 5'7" 190# with a decent waist, average hips- I fit a 14/16 really comfortably. I can pinch an inch of fabric on each side of my waist, but the stretch pulls it in nicely against my shape. I am a 38C and the chest is fit, but comfortable. The gown touches the floor in bare feet - about an inch rests on the floor. With my 3" heels, it is perfect. Beware that the end of the beaded bodice is just one layer of thin beading that will pull/snap at the seam (maye a quarter of an inceh) if you are not careful - lift it gently over your behind and it will stay put. If you do pull this a bit, it is easily stitched together without loss of beads.It is glamorous, it is beautiful and you cannot help but to feel wonderful in this dress. For a bigger person (not the model size 6), this is a true find.

Nice dress
The bottom is see through, but the dress is elegant.

Nice dress
It’s a $50 gown so obviously it’s not going to be the same quality as a designer red carpet dress. But I’m happy with it for the price and purpose . I’ll be revamping some things to use it in a classic burlesque striptease (more tulle underneath the skirt, changing out zipper, glitterizing the skirt, etc). I do have to have it taken in a bit which was a nice surprise .

One of my favorites!!
Stunning!! I love this dress and received many compliments! I'm 5'5" and wore 3" heels and the length was perfect. The sequins and beads all stayed in place. I was worried about the beading under the arms being scratchy, but they did not scratch or irritate. Highly recommend this dress!!
