Elegant Off Shoulder Lace Prom Dress with High Slit - Long Chiffon Formal Gown with Applique Details for Women - Perfect for Homecoming, Evening Parties & Special Occasions

First, I’ll start with the good and say it’s a pretty dress. I took the advice of someone else’s review and sized up. I was between a 4 and 6. I know how bridal sizes can be my wedding dress was a 6. Plus this sits off the shoulder. The back is corset that you have to do yourself. Also it has built in pads which are needed because you don’t wear a bra with this dress. The lace is see through at the top. I am small chested and the pads came in handy, but were a little too big, so I wore a sticky bra with mine to just cover the front better just in case. Second, the not so good part shipping. I ordered Nov. 10th for a December 31st wedding. After purchase it said delivery between December 6th-16th. I was hoping more toward the 6th as I left for out of town on the 17th. Tracking wasn’t that great on it either. To pay $13 for shipping and not get it until December 23rd when I was out of town is crazy to me. I got home, tried it on, and thankfully it fit even though it was a bit too long by this time the wedding was in two days. I was tripping on it so where others. All that to say order way way in advance.This dress is really beautiful. I’ll be using this dress for my engagement photo session and I cannot wait to see how the pictures come out! The only thing is that I would should have ordered a size up because the off the shoulders straps are a bit tight and had to cut the inner strap that came with it. Overall the dress is beautiful and will be purchasing more for upcoming events.This dress has an open back. And it has a ribbon corset on the back to close it up but it's uncomfortable to close and you need additional help to close it up from the back. I think a zipper would have been betterI am 56 years old, 5'3.5" & 130 lbs, I ordered a size 10 and it fits perfect. It did take about a month to arrive. There is no zipper, clasps or buttons, only a lace up sash which makes it self adjusting on the size with in a few inches. I wish I had ordered a size bigger (a sz 12) as the wedding is 4 months away and I worried if I gain 5 or 10 pounds it may not fit. I am very pleased with the quality, shipping speed & fit. This dress is absolutely gorgeous.
