Alex EveningsWomen's Long Dress with Mandarin Neckline Jacket (Regular Petite Plus)

Beautifully cut, hangs well. Flattering with a soft flowy skirt. The draw back is the glitter on the top and jacket. It is ...glitter. Fresh out of the bag the dress leaves a trail of glitter. The top and jacket fabric is a nice textured fabric...with glitter. The skirt has a nice soft chiffon-y overlay that hides body flaws pretty well. The sleeves on the jacket are not too tight which is often a problem for me. It fits very comfortably. The top is a bit big for me which is a bit unusual, but easily remedied with very minor alterations. This, out of about 30 dresses I have tried is the winner for me to wear to my daughters wedding! Very forgiving, very flattering. Nice deep gray.

I wore this to my daughters wedding. I saw a very similar dress at a Bridal store in the mother-of-the-bride section, but it was in a larger size. They suggested I special order it in a size 10, but it was gong to be very expensive. I went home and on a wim looked at Amazon. I saw the same dress, and it was an Alex Evenings dress. Then I saw this Alex Evenings dress, and it was such a gorgeous shade of smoky grey and not at all expensive so I took a chance on it. I loved the fit and the color was very flattering (a smoky charcoal grey with just a hint of blue).

This is a very nice formal dress! Fits size 16 well, as expected. Too long for 5'4" without stilettos, so will need to hem. Glitter does get everywhere from jacket, as it does with similar items. Smoke color is a beautiful dark gray, almost black, and the jacket has a nice, subtle pattern with stretch. Can wear jacket open or closed with a hook-and-eye at the top of the mandarin collar.

I wear 2X and 16w is great fit, covers all the problem areas and does not require special undergarments. I’m 5’6” and will need about a 2” heel.

The photo is just trying it on for the first time. No shapewear or anything. With shapewear, makeup and jewelry; I felt amazing for our daughter's winter wedding. I have broad shoulders and this dress minimized that very well. It is very much worth it.

I've worn Alex Evenings' clothing before, the size is very dependable, the fit is extremely flattering, fabric was very nice. I recommend it.

I purchased this dress to wear to my daughter's wedding. I love the rich deep plum color and the soft flow of the chiffon bottom. I thought the jacket would be heavier but I'm glad it is not heavy because it would be nice and light for dancing at the reception. It does have sparkle from the glitter and as expected you will get a little glitter in other places.

BEAUTIFUL and elegant. Will be wearing this to my son's wedding. It is a deep plum color and glitzy. I love the jacket because it hides a "lot".. Haha. Color looks great and it is very classy looking but seemed a bit expensive compared to other gowns in price range. I was sort of stuck, needed this color and this style for the wedding. Wish it would have been cheaper but I feel great in it so that is what matters. Very forgiving material, fits perfectly. I'm a 14 and it is a 14 gown.

Purchased for my mom as Mother of the Bride Dress.Was delivered with in a week. The fit was true to size and very little alterations were needed.

Wore it for my son's wedding. Really comfortable, fit well, just the right amount of sparkle!

It was sent to a tailor to make it little smaller and shorter.

Only received jacket and not dress in shipment. Really not happy.
