Belle House Women's Champagne Mermaid Evening Dress with Appliques & Beading - Elegant Formal Gown for Prom, Party, Wedding & Special Occasions

The dress is very pretty but I had to return it because it was too tight on me on the bust. (34c) also there where some rhinestones missing!Dress is gorgeous! Recommend having it custom made. This way the dress can be made to your specific measurements. For me the length i needed (including the heel height I was wearing) was shorter than the non-custom dress. The bottom edge is beautiful but is sewn to the sheer material. So hemming it is challenging and changes the appearance of that lace edge. Custom made no doubt! This is the second Belle House dress I’ve ordered, Gorgeous both of them!!Let me tell you about this gracious seller! My original dress was stolen by porch thieves and I was devastated as it was for my wedding. Belle House was so understanding and they immediately sent me another dress! No hassle, which was a big relief. They followed up to make sure I got the dress and everything! Soooooo incredibly sweet!The dress is perfection! I ordered it one size smaller than my normal size so it would fit nicely on my waistline.I’m so happy. Will definitely order from them again!Beautiful dress! Feels very expensive. Wore it to a Mardi Gras ball and got over 10 complements from the time I walked in to the second I was walking out! Ordered 2 sizes bigger than my actual size. My normal size is a 18/20 I ordered a 24. I am 5’9 and the dress stopped right at my ankles.This dress is FABULOUS! I absolutely love it. The dress fit me perfectly. The only negative is that it is too long. Because I wore it to an event that had dancing, I had to have it altered because of its length. I wanted to be able to dance freely without me or someone else stepping on it causing me to fall. Therefore, I ended up getting rid of the train in the back and had the dress hemmed. If the dress wasn't so long and required an additional $80 to have it altered due to length, I would have given it a 5 star. Again, it is really a beautiful dress.This dress is gorgeous and it is stunning on. What kept me from giving 5 stars is that the applique was not adherent to the fabric in certain areas it was not sticking down and some of the beads on the applique fell out.This Gown is GORGEOUS and sparkles like nobodies business! I received so many compliments at the New Years Eve party I attended. This gown is definitely a show stopper. I contacted the seller with an issue that I had and the seller responded promptly and quickly resolved the issue. Excellent customer service! I would purchase from this seller again. I always look for body stats and pictures in the reviews so I can try and determine what size I should order. I didn’t see any that fit my body type at the time so, hopefully mine will help someone out. I’m normally a size 10/12 in dresses and I’m 5’ 5”. I weigh around 185/190 and my shape would best be described as hour glass or curvy. I ordered the 14 to accommodate for my hips, butt and thighs. It fit perfectly! I did wear shapewear to make everything nice & smooth. I think I wore 3.5 inch heels. The dress was long but it looked totally fine standing still and walking. Dancing was a different story. I did need to pick up and hold the train to dance but was still able to get my groove on!
