I ordered this dress to wear as a bridesmaid for my brother's wedding. Our only requirement was to have a black dress, otherwise the style was up to us. Money is tight and I did not want to order from a bridal salon/boutique and spend 100's on a dress I'll wear once. Overall, this dress was a good option for me and I would recommend. More details:

FIT: I used the sizing chart and ordered accordingly. The dress fit as expected. I am only 5'4" however; I did need to have it hemmed, even with heels on. The lace on top has a bit of stretch and was comfortable all day. The skirt is loose and flowy and was also very comfortable.

FABRIC: Even though the top was eyelash lace, it was very comfortable to wear all day. I didn't necessarily care for the eyelash lace, but it turned out that it complimented my sister-in-law's bridal gown which also had eyelash lace, without being competitive.

ZIPPER: The dress has a zipper closure in back. Out of the package, it was VERY difficult to get zipped or unzipped. Solution: run a beeswax lip balm (like Burt's Bees) up and down the zipper. It will then slide easily.

COLOR: I ordered black, and it was true to color.

OVERALL LOOK: I'll admit, this was not my first choice in dresses, but it was the only one of 4 styles that I ordered from Amazon that fit halfway decently. I paired the dress with a rhinestone belt, and the overall effect was nice. I received many compliments from other bridesmaids, the bride, and wedding guests on my dress. Even a random person at the reception venue stopped me to tell me they liked my dress. A cousin at the wedding who will be a bridesmaid soon was jealous that I got such a nice dress for under $100. All in all, it was a win, and I'd recommend this dress to others.

Beautiful dress, fit perfect and well made. I only returned it because bride wanted a different cooler. Would 100% recommend

The fit on this dress was perfect. I recently had a baby and needed a new go to dress to wear to my husbands brothers wedding. I tried on several $200+ options and then Amazon suggested this was a popular option with users. It did not have a Try Before You Buy option so I was worried but at $45 I took the risk. 10/10 could not be happier. It was classy enough to pair with my husband (groomsman) wearing a tux. It hid my PP tummy well and the cap sleeves helped a bit on my arm fat. The material feels like any $200+ dress would, very formal. No stretch but the sizing was perfect.

Only note, the mesh / lace top shows bra straps through but I wore black and it was barely noticeable (I hope!). One improvement would have been to add pockets but for the price you still can't beat it!

I'm 5'8" and am about 170 lbs in this photo

This dress was purchased for a black tie event. It was perfect. My daughter wears a 14 and is 5'7". We ordered the XL. It was a great length and perfect fit. Didn't have any problems with it. The red is a gorgeous deep color. Highly recommend it.

The dress would have needed altering if I kept it. It was a nice dress, very long but loved the rich color!
