4.0 out of 5 stars
Great, simple dress, December 22, 2009
The dress arrived on time and in very good condition. Even came with a hot little pair of glitter/white thong panties. Anyway, as I suspected, ,the dress is not all that well-made or anything, but it's fine. VERY STRETCHY. Almost a one-size-fits-all. Almost. It seems to run small, based on the charts and my actual body. Large is tight-fitting even on me and I'm not large ( 5'7 ,around a size 9 on average ). But it's mostly SEXY tight. Not TOO bad.
The length is nice. At 5'7 with no shoes, it sits nicely on the tops of my feet and still looks and hangs nicely with heels on. (Not AS long, of course, with tall shoes. I think the model/stripper is alittle short.)
The crazy stretch, though, would make it adjustable for almost anyone ( not for the obese or anything.) My guess is the large ( which I wisely chose)),would squeeze onto as big as an actual size 12 person ( with no real room to breathe heavily or eat a large meal,of course). My guess. And for a tiny, thin girl, it would melt onto you an fit no matter what. ( Go for Sm or Med.)
It is rather thin from the hips down, as you can see in the pictures. Be prepared to buy a slip if your plan is to wear it in public with lights of any kind. Not an issue.
It does seem to need constant adjustments to keep it sitting/hanging in the shape of the design in the picture. The lines are not constant and any movement makes it hike up or sideways ( like a tight nightdress in your sleep) and makes it look odd. ( Haven't worn it out yet, just tried it on and wore it around the house with and without shoes as a tester. Sat, stood up,bent over, etc.)
Decent buy I guess. I like overall, and will wear it to my special occasion if I don't find something better in time.
It is exactly the style and quality of dress your average stripper starts out in on a stage, LOL, but can be dressed up with cute jewelry and shoes to look okay. Worst case scenario, its comfortable and stretchy enough to be a sexy house dress/nightgown. Worth around 20 bucks in a store. I've had this kind of dress off a rack before. Not what I thought it would be ( in dressiness) entirely, but cute nonetheless. Hotforhollywood specializes in chinsy but hot stripper/sexy gear only. Check out the site. It will explain .
FYI: Red, blue, purple, or other colors ( see Amazon choices) ( Mine is the white) would possbily LOOK dressier in person.
If your bust is not as oversized or outrageous as the models, plan on som adjustments there, too. Push-up strapless bra, something. I'm a 34 D and the material squishes my not so little bust into non-existence and almost hurts without some assistance. Gotta do something about that before March 13th. I got time. Will invest in a good bra or tape I suppose. My regular clothing and dresses of other materials DO NOT require this for my chest. Just so you understand.
Good luck. You may like it overall. :)/;(

A little too sheer.., January 24, 2011
This review is from: Designer White Strapless Long Evening Formal Dress (Apparel)
I recently purchased this dress to use for our upcoming beach wedding next month. I have tried it on twice and am disappointed with it. I had such high hopes for this dress and read all the reviews on it. I was aware that everyone said it was sheer from the waist down but actually the entire back is see through. Meaning you can see bra,panties, no panties whatever.[...]. Also let's not forget that if you're not as small as the model in the waist it does not look very flattering. I have bigger boobs than the model so I thought it would even out with my 32 inch waist but it looks a mess. I'm buying a body shaper and hoping this may work but I imagine it will be seen underneath.Pretty frustrating...
