Elegant V-Neck Prom Dresses Long Beaded Evening Gowns for Women - Formal Ball Gown for Homecoming, Wedding, Pageant & Special Occasions

BuenoThis dress is *so* pretty! The royal blue is a rich royal blue, absolutely perfect for the event I need it for. The material is thick, the stitching is excellent, and the dress is exactly as described and exceeded my expectations. It is fully lined, has a built in bra, and the corset back is exquisite; as there is no zipper, you will need a second person available to help get this dress laced and cinched up. It's incredibly elegant looking.Great customer service! The seller was very responsive to emails regarding custom sizing (I ordered a size 10 and sent the seller my exact measurements since each of my measurements fit a different dress size) and the seller had a friendly and personable tone throughout our exchanges. In addition to emailing my custom measurements, I also requested no beading on the waist, and received a dress with no beading on the waist. I ordered the dress on 10/31 and received it on 11/12 so it arrived way ahead of the anticipated delivery date which was amazing!The best part, for me, are the pockets!! Big pockets that fit my brick of a phone, a Google Nexus 6 in an Incipio case. I'd say it's the equivalent to an iPhone 7S (6.5" L x 3.5" W). The pockets are plenty big enough for a phone, plus small essentials (ID/CC/cash, small key ring, lip balm/lipstick) if you don't want to carry a handbag.I will need to get alterations made but that is not the fault of the seller!! I have scoliosis and dresses such as this must be altered to fit in person. Add to that, I'm working with a personal trainer to tone certain areas of my body and if all goes to plan, I hope to have a smaller waist by the time I need the dress. I'll add more pics to this review when I get the alterations made.I ordered this dress for a formal wedding I was attending. The dress was beautiful. The color was very vibrant. The pleating in the dress was very nice as well. The lacing in the backing of the dress was very nice. The pockets were fairly deep enough to hold keys, change and possibly your phone. The only issue I found to be a little disappointing was the enteric design on the waistband. The design beads in it look very cheap and will probably fall off at any given time. The waistband could be sewn on a little tighter as well it was very flimsy and loose. These issues are nothing for creative person to handle with removing the beads and replacing them with better quality of beading with a fabric glue gun and sewing the band a little tighter! I often sew my own clothing but didn’t have time to do so in this instance. This is really not true to size either! I order a size 16 because I figured I could make the needed adjustments if it didn’t fit perfect for me and I am normally a size 12/14. The size 16 was way to tight. So if you order by your normal size just beware that you will possibly have to get a size or two larger. The shipping of this product was awesome! It came very fast with no delays without paying for extra shipping charges. I will definitely not have a problem ordering from this vendor again!I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this dress. Pockets are a nice feature. The dress has a very light lining sewn closed at the hem, but will still need a slip or crinoline. Comes with circle padded inserts at the breast if you wanted to go braless, but bra straps will not show if you wear one.We ordered size 4 per the measurements in the chart (my kid was almost exactly the size 4 measurements.). We thought once we got laced up we could adjust the slight bagginess in the bodice. For the price I don't mind having it altered slightly in the side and back dart seams.After ordering "off the rack size 4" I immediately received an email from the seller asking if I wanted/needed to send measurements for custom tailoring. It was a nice touch. I declined and they responded quickly in kind that dress would be made to order. (Keep in mind: If you have the dress made to custom measurements, you cannot return it. And return shipping to China is about $25.). Seller was very responsive and easy to work with.Shipping was much faster than expected and leaves us plenty of time for any alterations before our event.The color was beautiful the fit was good it was a little loose at the top , The girls were spilling out a little bit but all I needed was a safety pin and no one had a safety pin . a little long at the bottom but I didn’t wear my heels , I was initially concerned that the back ties it was a little too short however once I was tied in and the back it was long enough . Everyone loved the dress I really enjoyed having it on, My birthday dress help me be queen for a day.Great experience! The seller was super helpful in helping me pick a custom color, and they were glad to adjust the neckline as I requested. The dress arrived well within the time frame, and in great condition! I LOVE the boning in the bodice, it helps accent my shape so well. It hugs my waist perfectly!! Dress feels very well made, nice heavy fabric but doesn’t weigh you down. I do wish that the hem was shorter, this continues well onto the ground (I did give my height info and shoe height info so I was thinking that it would be hemmed around the length I needed). However, I can easily hem it no problem! I will definitely consider buying this in another color! 100% recommended! If you can give your customer measurements to them they will get it taken care of, definitely take the time to send them that info if you want a fabulously flattering fit! ???
