4.0 out of 5 stars Very nice but sizes are off.
The dress was beautiful. it is very slimming even on bigger girls. the only thing is it isnt true to size. i got an XL..my bust is about a 38..they said their XL is a 38-40 and it was way too small. The only other thing is the diamond on the drop waist is just a pin so it doesnt sit closely is hangs a little. but that can easily be fixed. The dress is absolutely gorgeous...

3.0 out of 5 stars Not true to size
I bought this dress back in July and am wearing it for when I get married in March. Do not go by the size chart, it is very off. With my measurements, it said I should order a 2x, which at the time I did think was a little ridiculous, I mean I do have a DD chest, and I have a real woman's curvy body. I get the dress in the mail less than a week after I ordered it,...

5.0 out of 5 stars love it!, April 17, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I must say that this dress must've been the best dress that I have ever worn in my whole life. I am not gonna even exaggerate. I dont own many dresses or wear them much and most of them are like $30 or lower - they're okay. But this dress is totally worth it. I got this red dress for my prom and man, it feels great. The wires that hold your body and make you look very slim and the pin is just so cute and pretty - totally worth it - unexplainable. it's great.

For this dress, everything is amazing. Just make sure that the dress fits on your hip, and everything will be fine. That's just my opinion, if you want to know. At first, I was afraid if the bust area wont fit since I am kind of conscience of that, but after trying on the dress, I realized that the dress would fit a person better if she looks for the dress based on her hip. Since the dress is kind of already created by the wires to hold your body and make you look slim, the most important area would be your hip. If it fits perfectly on your hip, then you have nothing to worry about, because all the other areas will fit. The dress landed right at my hip before the ruffles and the bust area was a little bit bigger than my actual bust (and I have already ordered my dress a smaller size than it should be too) so yeah, that's just my opinion.

BUT this dress is amazing! Thank YOU :)

5.0 out of 5 stars It's gorgeous, January 13, 2010

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I bought it in XS torquoise and it fits great! I've got a small body, with slightly bigger bust area so it's a bit snug there but that's alright, I like it. I hadn't read the all details though, so the shawl and straps were a pleasant surprise.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not true to size, November 15, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I bought this dress back in July and am wearing it for when I get married in March. Do not go by the size chart, it is very off. With my measurements, it said I should order a 2x, which at the time I did think was a little ridiculous, I mean I do have a DD chest, and I have a real woman's curvy body. I get the dress in the mail less than a week after I ordered it, which was awesome. But as soon as I pulled it out of the box my very first words were "WOW this thing is huge" . I tried it on anyway and it literaly fell right off of me. That is extremely rare for me, since, like I said, I have a pretty big chest, and curves. I had to hold it up, the whole thing is entirely way too big. I am probably going to have to pay the same price that I did for the dress to get it hemmed, as it is also way too long for me. So I say, that you should not go by the size chart at all. I mean, you can measure yourself, and use the size chart as a guide, but I would go about 2 sizes smaller than what the chart is tellng you that you need. I could have purchased the dress in a large and it would have still been a little big. All in all, the dress is very pretty.

5.0 out of 5 stars lovely and elegant (and quite a bargain too!), April 10, 2010
i got this in both royal and purple, and i love both! Since my measurements are unusual, i ordered the 2X size, and when i tried it on and found that the bust was a pretty close fit, i just had the dresses signficiantly altered by my favorite tailor, so that they'd fit all over. Which, btw, actually ended up costing more than the dresses (lol).

Well, it was all worth it, because this dress is a dream. It is very flattering, and oh-so-elegant. You really will feel like a princess wearing this lovely dress. imho, it will make any woman look very glamourous.

The nice thing is that this dress is really rather inexpensive, especially when you consider how pretty and well-designed it is. That's great for someone like me, for whom alterations are pretty much inevitable, and therefore add to the cost of the dress significantly.

i am very pleased with this purchase, and recommend it highly.

2.0 out of 5 stars Like the dress...had multiple flaws, June 22, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I bought this dress in white for my wedding dance. It is a very pretty dres...kinda cheep fabric, but it fits perfect and is very pretty. Unfortunately, when I received it, the zipper was coming unsewn, there were random tan streaks on the dress (which sticks out on white), and the jewel was turning a yellow color which was very obvious. So, I sent the dress back and they said they would exchange it for one without those flaws. It came back in about a week and a half which is a plus with this company (they're shipping is very fast), but the when I went to try on the dress, I realized that it was the SAME DRESS! It was very disappointing. I've never had a bad experience with Pacific Plex, but this was just very upsetting. Just a bad experience is all.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Belle dress is definitely a head-turner!, May 14, 2011

My Belle dress is definitely a head-turner!

I call this dress The Belle Dress because it reminds me of Belle in Beauty and the Beast. This dress is definitely a head-turner! Have eyes on this dress since I saw it online in Polyvore several months ago, but had no reason to buy it. But when it was discounted, and a theatre event is coming up, I used that as a reason. I wore it last night for a dinner. Patrons at two tables and two people in a car turned their heads on me. In a good way, not in a `what on earth is she wearing' kinda way. So I guess money (including shipping) was well spent. My partner likes it too, he said the dress was so cute. So anyone who wants to buy this dress, buy it. There's a big chance that you'll love it.

I chose the yellow one because, again, it reminds me of Belle's dress when she was dancing with the Beast. My skin is tan, so I can pull yellow. It's a bright yellow that is lovely instead of tacky. I'm not disappointed by the colour because it was what I hoped for from my computer screen. A nice daffodil yellow.

I bought the Large one because the Medium was gone. Well, they have one medium back in stock now; it seemed that someone returned it. But I am glad I bought the large one. The medium one would fit the bust, but the waist would be too tight for sitting. I'm size 36C, about 5' 3", 140 lbs. The bust in large is a bit too big. However, this dress has boning, so a slightly larger size made me comfortable when sitting.

The measurement for Large was almost true to the company's size; the waist is an inch larger, and the bust was actually an inch shorter. But perhaps our measurement tapes were different? The accompanying scarf was very useful in the autumn night, but the straps were not (for you don't really need them, and if you do, you have to sew them yourself!).

The international shipping was very fast. I bought the dress on Wednesday and it arrived in Australia in the following Tuesday. Less than a week! Thanks so much!

Overall, I'm very pleased with my first purchase with PacificPlex. I hope to buy another dress sometimes later.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute dress, but sizes are way off!, November 24, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I purchased this as a Bridesmaid Dress for a beach wedding I was in.
I was so happy it came in the "turquoise" color - something i had been searching for in local clothing shops for months on end with no success.
Its a Very cute dress, I love the bubble skirt, & the cut seems flattering for a lot of different figures.
I went by the Size chart (BIG MISTAKE) & I measured myself and ordered the XL to be on the "safe side" (I usually wear a large when i buy dresses at juniors stores like Wet Seal).
When the dress arrived I put it on, and the skirt/hip/torso area was roomy, but I couldn't zip it up in back past my bra strap!
I was so bummed, but I took action and quickly ordered the 2X with the fastest shipping method (I've NEVER worn a 2x in my life, but i was desperate!).
Obviously these dresses are not really made for anyone with a C-D bust-line.
The 2X arrived in 3 days (which to Hawaii is light-speed!)
The 2X was pretty loose in the hips/lower torso, but the bust area fit a lot better -except the fabric across the very top band of the bodice had too much slack & kind of bowed out, so I turned it into a sweetheart style & then i was very happy!
My fellow bridesmaid hadn't yet found a dress either,and she was able to try the "XL" and it fit her just right, so luckily it worked out & I didn't have to return anything!
The One other downside to the dress besides the funky sizing- if you bend over or sit down while wearing it, the built-in boning (little metal slats sewn into the dress)gets bent(cuz its thin/weak), and when you stand up straight they stay bent and look lumpy(like you have fat rolls -ugh!) until you pinch at the fabric and bend them back straight.
It was easy enough to fix them straight, but it gets annoyingly repetitive if your moving around all night like i was.
All in all, its a nice dress for the price , & I'll probably enjoy wearing it again if I get the chance (but i'll remove the Boning first, lol)
