This is a great buy for several reasons. The fabric is of a quality grade satin and it's got a strong zipper, its an all around flattering line for different body shapes, and PacificPlex sends out your delivery in a wink! I ordered my red version on a Wednesday morning and recieved it that Saturday afternoon. I have one issue with this dress: even though I ordered it exactly to my personal measurements (42/34/42, a 2X), it was much too large on me. I would of course have a dress that is too big than too small, however it would be very nice not to have to worry about getting it altered at all, which is what I'm doing rather than sending in for a smaller size because I am an impatient woman and don't want to wait even PacificPlex's short delivery time again.

I like this dress and its affordable price. However, when I ordered the size according to the measurements, it was much too big for me. I sent it back for an exchange in the manner they said to do. However, they didn't send me an exchange, they just gave me a refund. By the time I realized what had happened, I had to pay $20 for expedited shipping in order to make sure I get it in time for my friend's wedding.

I purchased this dress to be the maid of honor in my best friends wedding. It arrived quickly, looked great, and was an awesome price. It would be hard to beat this great deal!

I bought this dress for my daughter's baptism. I had to purchase it twice. The first time, I unfortunately listened to the other reviewers and ordered a dress that was one size smaller than I normally wear. That dress was tiny. I reordered the second dress in the size I wear according to the size chart, and it was still a little snug. Another problem I had was the top kept sliding down so all day, you either saw my bra, or I had to keep fidgeting and picking it up. It was very annoying and I hope you didn't see my bra in any of the pictures. Other than that, it was made out of great material and was a good color. I don't think I would recommend this dress because of the top not staying up issue.

After reading the reviews about all the sizing problems, I was pretty confused about what size to order. My measurements are generally 32" or 33" bust, 26" or 27" waist, depending on the day. I hesitantly ordered the SMALL, even though the chart says it measures at 31"-32" bust and 25.5" waist. When it arrived and I tried it on, however, it fell right off me. Even with a padded bra on, it was way too big. So I got out my tape measure and checked out the measurements myself. I got 33" bust and 27.5" waist.

So, even though the actual measurements of the garment are closer to my real size, it's still too big. I'm pretty sure it's because of the nature and design of this particular dress. Being strapless, it needs to fit a lot snugger than a dress you would wear that's held up by straps. Also, unlike a lot of strapless dress styles, this one doesn't have any elastic or sticky trim to keep it up. It DOES have boning throughout, however, which is a nice feature that helps it stay in place (once you have the right size) and keeps its shape.

I returned the garment and ordered the X-SMALL, which arrived quickly. It fits nice and snug and measures at 31" bust and 25" waist (which is NOT what the chart tells you!)

Overall a wonderful dress; nice fabric, classic style that is flattering on most figures, understated and elegant, well-manufactured. Very clean, very sweet!

...And I lived happily ever after in my pretty satin dress. I hope this helped!

I love this dress. I ordered this dress at the last minute and it was delievered in due time. I even had a few days to spare before my big event and had the dress altered. Since I am a big girl, I ordered a 3X and it fit very well. I received ALOT of compliments. The material is strong. I personally think it's worth the time and money. The color I ordered was black.

I ordered three of the 50's strapless satin dresses 6 months ago and they were in great condition. I just recently ordered two more and they were not in perfect condition. One had a lot of threads sticking out on the back zipper. On the other dress, the ribbon around the waist was not attached all the way around. I will have to sew that on myself! Also, the sashes that come with the dresses always have a little loop strap to hang it up with, and this sash just had the little strap attached on one side, so it wasn't a loop for hanging. I was dissapointed with the inconsistency of these dresses.

Just fair warning, The sizing is not consistent. I ordered this dress in black and red for my bridesmaids, the xl in black fit fine but the red xl fit like a 1x or almost a 2x. I ordered a L in red for the exchange and it looks as though it was a little big for a L but not quite XL size so be advised on that. Also, the fabric is thinner and cheaper than it appears in the pictures, but still a lovely dress especially for the price you are paying. :-) Also, the skirt is quite long maybe about 3 inches below the knee.

I got this dress as a bride's maid dress for my brother's wedding. Even though my natural waist measurement is 32 inches (exactly), I followed the advice from one of my fellow maids and ordered a size down. It just arrived and it fits like a glove-- a smokin' hot, sexy glove. I might just have a new go-to dress :)

i ordered this dress in size x-large based on multiple customer comments that the dresses run a size larger than the size chart indicates. the dress was too small. i reordered it based on the size chart given and it fit perfectly.i received both dresses within 4 days of placing my order. the return process was simple and quick- i received my refund quickly and without any hassle.i will be wearing this dress soon for my wedding.could not be happier with the dress-very good quality for the price-and very good customer service.will post pics after the wedding.hope this is helpful to someone.
