Alex Evenings Women's Empire Waist Bolero Jacket Dress - Formal Evening Gown for Weddings, Parties & Special Occasions (Petite & Regular Sizes) | Plus Size Options Available

This dress was a second dress to choose from for my mother of the bride dress. I didn’t know for sure when I ordered what to expect on size or feel. I was so thrilled that it was PERFECT! Looked like it was made for my 5’1” frame. I loved the jacket and the material felt fine for the entire night! The lace on the jacket is not soft but it did not feel uncomfortable to me by any means. I would love to find a reason to wear it again!I Love this dress. It's everything I expected and wanted. I ordered a 10P and a 12P to try at home. Kept the 12P which I think ran true to size. I did have to have it shortened because even tho it was petite it was maybe an inch or so too long. I am only 5' 1/2" tall. My tailor will also adjust the straps just a tiny bit to improve the fit of the top part. The material is beautiful purple color...non wrinkly.....flowy. The beadwork is tastful and pretty. I bought this as a mother of the bride dress.Very comfortable. Exactly what I expected. Love the rich navy color. Bought it for late October wedding of my stepson.Loved this gown. The base gown had a bit lower neckline than I had expected (I'm 57, 5'5" (170 lbs) so I'm concerned about that , but if you take up/pin the shoulders, it will work perfectly. I had many compliments on this gown that I wore for a black-tie, evening wedding. Subtle rhinestones at the neckline of the dress, more significant jewels at the sleeves of the bolero jacket. Fabric is a heavier cotton/polyester - makes the dress hang very well (no fussing), but not so heavy that it's too warm. Would definitely buy again.I love the gown I got deep plum so beautifully detailed and the color is so rich it's a bit large around my shoulders but I love the gown I'm trying on gowns because I'm going to a wedding in April I'm not going to return it until I speak to my tailor and then I'm going to also wait to get the prime wardrobe box so I can try those gowns on and then I'll make my final decision I love Prime wardrobe thank you AmazonBeautiful dress, it fit well and I loved the ruched skirt. I almost kept this dress but thought the bolero jacket needed some kind of button closure in front. It was a nice color (navy) but in the end I decided it didn't have enough sparkle or interest at the top to be what I wanted for my son's upcoming wedding.This is an absolutely beautiful dress, classy & well-made. The dress fit well, but only problem I had was that the jacket was too short, & did not cover my chest all the way. I'm 5' 10", a few extra pounds, & over 50.Dress is beautiful! I have a large bust and it covered nicely. Also great for anyone with a belly. The only thing is it was in bag stuffed in a ball and wrap with tape. Also stuffed into my mailbox. I have never seen a presentation of an evening gown in my life.I liked the style and fit. HGoing to wear it to a Granddaughters weddinh
