Ever-PrettyWomen's Formal Dress Sequin Tulle Double V-Neck Sleeveless Mermaid Long Evening Dress 07886

I bought nearly $4,000 in gowns from high-end stores but the Amazon dress ended up being the most flattering and comfortable! Very affordable, and I got compliments all night long. I did have some minor alterations (tightening up the straps and having it taken in through the waist and hip to make it a more true mermaid shape). I also cut out the individual sequins along the armpit so I didn’t have to worry about my sensitive skin getting cut up. The only thing to keep in mind is that this dress is a lot shorter than most formal gowns, so if you’re taller than 5’5” you won’t be able to wear super tall heels. But this was actually perfect for me because I wanted to wear a more comfortable heel as the event I was attending would’ve been wildly inappropriate to ditch my heels and go barefoot 🙃 I wore a 2.5” heel and still had to have the tulle shortened slightly so it wasn’t a problem for me (it may be if you’re taller though). I want to wear it again!

Fits as Describes and seems to be a decent quality

I suggest sizing up one dress size. I normally wear a dress size 12 and I bought the 14 and it fit as it should. If I had bought the 12 it would have been too small.Very flattering silhouette and looks nice for the price. It looks pretty in photos. In person you can tell it's a cheap dress but it's definitely not as obvious as some other dresses I've bought online. It is an inexpensive and cheaply made dress that's not meant to be worn over and over again. This is the type of dress you buy that you know you'll never wear again, such as a bridesmaid dress. The sequins snag on things and fall off and the tulle gets caught on everything.The bottom of the dress would be hard to hem (for people with rudimentary sewing skills) so if you're a shorter person I say skip this unless you know someone experienced with tulle or take it to get professionally altered. For this price and knowing the rest of the garment will fall apart, I wouldn't spend the money on professional alterations.If you have a shorter torso or a large chest you might want to look at other options. I have a large chest and a short torso and the straps were a bit too long on me and my goodies were threatening to come out the whole time I wore it.The lining is thin and the tailoring is minimal so if you're trying to disguise any areas you're self-conscious about shapewear is essential. I hated the seam that went across the waist so I bought a matching rhinestone belt to disguise it.Overall for the price point and how it looks I give it 4 stars because you really can't beat the price for what you're getting. It is a pretty dress you just have to keep some things in mind while buying. I did deduct a star for how the sequins just fall off though, because there's no excuse for that. Sequins are supposed to be sewn on the garment and some of them look like they're on there with some kind of adhesive.

This dress tends to run a little bit large. We initially ordered this dress based on the size chart on the listing, but it was too large for my daughter, so we had to buy a size down. The dress is beautiful and made with good quality materials and fabric. It is also very well made and sturdy. It does run long in the shoulders / neck. We had to hem it up several inches on my daughter to get the correct fit, even though she is quite large in the chest area. We originally tried hemming tape and folding it under at the top of the strap seams, but the material was too thick for it to hold. I ended up stitching it and that held. She wore it to prom and felt confident and beautiful! However, without hemming up the shoulders, it did not fit great along her belly or back and had a lot of unflattering bunching in the front and back. Once the shoulders were hemmed, it fit perfectly. So, when ordering, keep in mind how tall you are through the torso and be mindful this dress may need to be brought in at the shoulders for proper fit, instead of worn as is. Great price for a prom dress though and we would definitely recommend it!

The color of the gown was beautiful but the gown itself was not what I was expecting even after reading reviews. I sized up due to having a larger bust (38F) and the dress itself was frumpy,had absolutely no shape and the quality of the material was sub par at least,very itchy/scratchy. Material is extremely thin with a layer of tulle like material over the top, length shorter than most gowns.The sequins on the gown weren't on well enough and noticed a few coming off as I took the dress out to look at it/inspect it.This dress was sent back the same day, now experiencing delays in my refund due to delays with the shipping carrier. It shouldn't take 30 days to get your money back especially when everything is done properly and promptly..buyer beware! I truly wanted to love this gown,guess it's hit or miss!

Packaged well and arrived timely. I ordered 3 colors and all were as pictured online. Beautiful dress, very light weight and well made considering the low cost. I’m 5’5”, 135lbs, an A-cup with most of my weight in my hips/booty/thighs. I typically wear a size small/4 on top and depending on brand a 4/6/medium on bottom. Got this in a medium/6 and it was a TIGHT squeeze to get it over my hips and it gave the impression of a significant tummy pooch even tho I don’t have much of one. The bodice was quite loose and gaped terribly in the chest/arm holes. It would have taken some tailoring to get it to fit up top, especially since I would have needed to move up another size to fit my hips. I will note the length was PERFECT for me in just 2-3 inch heels. I was not a fan of the material - found it itchy and the tiny sequins rubbed under my arms but I have super sensitive skin. Beautiful option for someone with narrower hips and more chest.

Beautiful and comfortable.
