Alex Evenings Women's Long A-line Mother of The Bride Dress with Illusion Neck and Sleeves (Petite and Regular Sizes)

I think this dress is very elegant and slimming. The neckline beading is enough so you don't need to wear a necklace! Haven't worn it yet but it fits perfectly. I will need to wear a strapless bra because the built in bra doesn't support me enough. I bought a 10P am 5'3" and 139lbs and I won't need to hem or alter it. Price was lower than the big box stores and it's the exact same designer dress.

Absolutely beautiful and flattering! Petite was perfect for my height 5’3”. Made me look thinner than others. Well made dress.

Beautiful dress. Fit perfectly and very elegant. I did not wear and returned because it was extremely long for me (I’m 5’5”) so I had to return it.

This dress is of the highest quality. It fit perfectly and was very comfortable to wear. Very eligant

The dress fit well and looked nice but the beading on the arm was already coming off before the wedding ever started.

Purchased a few gowns and they were either way too big or small or not as pictured. I decided to go with Amazon's "Try before You Buy" for a wedding in October. I also needed something shipped ASAP to allow time for any needed alterations. I ordered 3 gowns, and after trying on the first two, was disappointed in the way the looked and fit, I almost gave up on even trying this one on. As soon as I did, I was amazed at not only the quality of this gown, but how it fit compared to the others. It's very forgiving in areas a woman might want to hide and gives a slim look. It's absolutely stunning and you can't beat the price from Amazon, as other stores sell this same designer gown for double the price! I will need some minor alterations done like the hem, but that is to be expected for me as I'm 53", but I couldn't be more thrilled with this gown!

This dress didn’t fit right, I was unable to return due to short time to return. Ugh!

The dress was perfect.To provide some scale (because knowing the dress size without some idea of my size & shape is pretty useless to you) I'm 5'2" and 135 lb and I have a 29.5" inseam my bra size is 36DD and I wore 3" heels and the dress fit perfect with zero alterations. I wore a size 8 petite. The skirt lining brushed the top on my toes with the shoes on and the overlay just skimmed the floor. The only time I needed to lift the skirt was when going up stairs, otherwise I walked normally with no catches, trips, or steps on the skirt.I'm 49 years old and have had a couple of kids so the the fact that the fit was so perfect I didn't require any shapewear or bra was impressive.I wore the dress to a formal wedding. I was comfortable for the 9 hours I had it on and had no problems at all dancing the night away. I received compliments all night and felt not only beautiful in the dress but extremely comfortable as well.I would without a doubt recommend this dress and would definitely buy it again.PS: I did try on a regular size in store first and although it looked ok & would have worked with alterations the petite size hit all the right places... I would suggest a petite size for anyone under 5'4"....Oh, and if you're on the fence with the beading like I was... don't sweat it. The beading is very tasteful and is soooooo much prettier in person than any stock or actual photos that I've been able to find.
