Elegant Lace Applique V-Neck Wedding Dress for Bride - Straps Ball Gown Evening Dress | Perfect for Bridal Ceremony, Formal Events & Special Occasions

This dress is such high quality. No, it might not be as intricate or perfect as designer dresses you spend hundreds or thousands on, but for less than $100 it exceeds all of my expectations.I purchased the ivory dress on a whim because I was looking for a wedding dress that had some color to it, whether it was gray or blush. I read a review that the ivory dresses were pretty much white, so I didn't have too much hope for the dress. When I got it in the mail and felt the bodice... WOW! The material is thick, the lace is sewn nicely, and the belt is beautiful. The only thing that was iffy about the top was the bra cups seemed to be sewn in a little flimsy, but it didn't affect how the dress wore at all. I do need a little extra help in the chest area, so I'll have to think about how to enhance that for the day of.I am 5'10", 160-165lbs and the size 8 fit pretty perfectly. Or will fit pretty perfectly, as it's slightly snug right now, but I am planning on losing a few pounds so I estimate it will fit great by the time my wedding rolls around. The only thing that fit oddly on me was the straps were a little loose, even though the arm holes fit perfectly. The back straps also looked like it had extra fabric when I wasn't standing in a certain way, but I find that most v-back dresses do this on me... not sure what the problem is?The skirt of the dress is just the right amount of full. I love that the waist doesn't puff out from the tulle, but rather flows down nicely. The tulle is a little stiff and wrinkled I will say, but I think a little bit of steam from a hot shower can pull that right out.This is a gorgeous dress. I didn't expect to find such a beautiful dress on Amazon, especially at this price point. I also didn't expect to love a white dress but here I am... The only thing that would have made me even happier is if the ivory had the slight tint of color as it does in the photos.
