Beautiful dress. Fits as expected, but a little snug from the waist to bust. Zipper seems a little cheap. And I went one size larger than I am, but should have gone up 2 sizes for more room/comfort. But with the proper undergarments, I'll be able to wear it comfortably, but will take some adjusting. But no alterations.I was skeptical at first based on the photo. I was looking for a formal gold/champagne dress for an event. I decided to buy the dress for my mother as my daughter is getting married in November. After receiving the dress, it fit pretty good on her! Love the material and the white appliqué. I think wearing a white pearl necklace set would be a lovely coordination with the white appliqué. However, it is long and my mother is 5’0 ft but I would rather it be than short and to have room to have it altered. Overall, it’s a lovely dress! Thank you.My mom loved this dress just needed to get hemmed on the bottom other than that fit perfect!!Return info for this item is not true. It says “Free Returns”. You will pay $55.00 shipping to get the dress from China. I needed to return this because it doesn’t fit and I didn’t like the appliqué. AS Bridal sent a return label with an address in China that requires postage. Definitely not a free return. Buyer Beware…definitely misleading. The return info says they issued a refund of $1.00 and expect me to send the dress back. The dress comes rolled up in a small Amazon bag.It was smaller than anticipated and the coloring was off. Took to UPS to return, and it would have been $235 US to ship it back. The UPS agents said “that’s where they will get you. Offer cheap products with outrageous return shipping charges.”This dress is even more beautiful in person and on I would suggest ordering maybe two sizes up and the customer service is wonderful they even got it to me in time for my sons wedding absolutely love itI bought my mother this dress for my brothers wedding we ordered 2 sizes larger then her actual size and it fit perfectly. Great emerald green, made nicely only concern would be that the embellishment is really white lace no jewels.Prompt delivery as described.
