Poor fit and color
I was so hopeful that this dress would be my bridesmaid dress for my cousin’s wedding but honestly I hate it.The first issue is the color. I ordered burgundy, which to this brand is just a rich vibrant red, unless they sent me the wrong color. It’s pretty, but not even close to burgundy.But the bigger issue is the fit and construction. For reference I am 5’6” 160lbs, 38 bust 30 waist 43 hip and ordered a size 8. The inner lining of the dress fits okay. The crepe outer lining on the other hand, is loose and baggy and there’s no structure for it to keep it’s shape. It’s not beautifully pleated like in the photos-it’s saggy. I am a 32D/DD bra and this unflattering bodice leaves me looking wider than I am and very flat chested.It’s also disappointing to note that this isn’t a wrap style top - the cross front portion Is actually a sewn seam - so you can’t adjust that to your preference.Also, even though I have a shorter torso, the waist of this dress sits an inch or so too high and can’t be altered to fit lower. This just adds to the unflattering silhouette. I’m a fairly curvy woman and this dress hides my waist and makes me look much bigger than I am.Shipping was on the slow side (almost exactly a month for me) but not unexpected. Very expensive shipping costs, though.Overall, I regret buying this dress and I’m glad I have time to find something else. The fit/construction leaves much to be desired that can’t be fixed in alterations, the color is wrong (just comes with the territory when buying online) and I could buy a high quality casual dress in what I’m paying for non-refundable shipping both ways.If you’re on the fence, this is your sign to keep looking.
