I was looking for a dress bag to protect my old formal dresses, graduation attire and bridesmaid dress.

Pros:
-Made of vinyl and seems pretty durable.
-Arrived faster than estimated delivery (Ordered on Wednesday, arrived Monday but estimated for Tuesday-Friday).
-Long enough for evening gowns.
-Fits at LEAST 4 dresses but more like 7 or 8 if the dresses aren't too puffy.
-Side zipper makes for easy input and retrieval.

Cons:
-This isn't so much a con as a "just so you know." There is of course a slit opening at the top of the bag so the hanger heads can poke out but could possibly allow for some dust and maybe even critters to enter. Nothing that can't be rectified with some tape.

Overall a great product!

When I ordered my 64" gown bag I did not expect such a quality product for the price. So I was pleasantly surprised to discover a well made product of durable plastic that would meet the needs of holding and protecting my heavy academic regalia. I highly recommend this product.

I needed something to carry a long ivory wedding dress to and from fittings and to try on with "foundation garments". The bag is sturdy, not heavy to carry and user friendly.

I like this bag. It is different from others in that there is no internal frame. I'm hoping that will prolong its life. The hangers you use become the frame for the bag, and it includes a zipper for easier access. It can hold several gowns.

I bought this for $10. It's currently protecting a $140 dress. It smells like bad plastic, but it's saving my dress. I can deal with a little smell. If you happen to be taller than 5'5", you may want a taller bag, but this gown bag is perfect.

I was very pleased with the quality of this item. It serves its purpose with storing costumes. Plenty of room!

I was happy with this until I went to retrieve a dress this past weekend. This was the first time that I tried to retrieve an item. Zipper came off and unable to open without destroying bag. I opened by separating zipper by hand and now have a bag that no longer closes.

Yep, these are great--they are very large and hold my longest gowns with room to spare (I am 5'4"). I can fit 4-5 dresses in each bag. The bags zip on the side which makes inserting the first dress tricky (vs a zipper on the front, but once the first dress is in, and you hang the bag up, it's very easy to slide in the other dresses. The fact that is it clear plastic makes it easy to see what's in the bag, and the slit at the top for the hangers is large enough to accommodate multiple hangers, but have overlapping flaps to keep the dust out. I am happy as a clam and will get more of these puppies.

I wanted something to protect my gown in the suitcase while traveling. I don't think this bag is intended to replace a suitbag, but to protect clothing it is fantastic. It is made of a heavy plastic and the zipper works well. Before using it though, be sure to air it out for a few days. It does have a strong plastic smell.

Once the ball gown is on the hanger, this is 6 inches too short for the dress to hang straight - that's a pity as the quality and finish are great - so if you're less than 5ft 4" it will be ok for your floor length dresses - if, like me, you're tall then you either have to hang it without straps, or have the bottom ruched up in the carrier.
