I needed a dress for my son’s wedding. I have struggled with my weight for years. I was so afraid I would not find a dress that would fit, and if by chance I did find a dress, it would look horrible on me. I also needed the dress to be modest. This dress caught my eye. And Everytime I went looking on line for Mother of the groom dresses, I would stop and look at this dress. I am 4’5 and 294 lbs. I found the size 24 only at Nordstrom on line, took the chance and ordered it. The day it came I immediately tried it on terrified It wouldn’t fit and I would look horrible. But when I tried it on, I almost cried. The dress is beautiful and it looked good on me, better than I could have hoped for. It zipped right up, even had a little bit of room, if you are looking for a formal gown and your figure isn’t model perfect you should get this dress! It is worth every penny. I was dreading getting a dress because of my weight, but this dress is designed for real plus size women and now I can’t wait to wear it!!

After ordering and receiving 13 to 15 gowns for my nieces wedding next week in New York City I finally took a trip to the store and found this beautiful dress in a beautiful blue that sparkled right off the hanger. I am large busted and cannot wear a strapless bra and did not want a sleeveless dress. Designers simply do not make evening gowns for women like us. I am a size 10 in pants but a size 14 on top . When I tried this gown on it fit perfectly on top and through the waist and as it flared out from the hips it was a little bit large , A simple alteration to take it in ever so slightly in the hips and thigh area the dress is now perfect. Thank you Alex evening wear for thinking of women like us who don’t want old matronly dresses but do not want sleeveless , strapless , or off the shoulder either

The pictures do not do this dress justice. You have to try it on to see just how stunning it is. I got it in purple and will be wearing it the night before my elopement in Maui (though I was tempted to wear it as my wedding dress). This dress gets advertised as a more matronly dress, but it actually has a youthful princess look to it as well. I'm 32 and look much younger than my age, and I love this dress. If you want to look stunning, feel comfortable, in a dress that's not too revealing, you should try this one. It does run big so you may have to get size or two below what you're used to getting. I'm 5'7 and 149 pounds, curvy, and got a size 6.

This is THE dress...mother of groom in September. Had ordered size 18, it fit but sleeves a little too short for my taste, plus the length was perfect so no extra fabric to work with to add length to sleeves. Reordered in size 16W. Fit was perfect....needed to take about 4 inches off of length which gave fabric to work with on the sleeves. Loved the fabric!!!! If you can get past sleeves....it is great choice. Navy color, fabric is very rich looking. Great service from Nordstrom’s....needed to return 5 other dresses before I decided to try this “short” sleeve number....they could not have been more gracious with the returns!!!!

I had ordered 3 other dresses from a popular online fancy gown website and disliked all 3. I was running out of time and saw this dress from Nordstrom. I took a chance and am SO glad I did! They delivered in under one week and the dress fit perfectly, in my opinion. It was very comfortable and we danced all night! Just for reference, I’m 5’10” and 180 pounds. I wore 2” heels and the dress did not drag on the ground. I’m very happy with my purchase and am grateful that I found it.

I love love love this dress! At first I was hesitant because the reviews were not good. However I purchased the dress anyway and boy was I glad I did. I am larger bust with a small spare tire around the middle. This dress hid all of it. I felt like a million bucks! It also has such a great wow factor. Everyone loved it and I felt so pretty and never self conscious. I wear a true size 20w so I purchased a 20w. It fit me excellent!!!

I love this dress. It is elegant, lightweight, and sparkly. I wore a beautiful diamond necklace that followed the shape of the neckline with dangled earrings and it looked great with the eggplant color. I am 5’4 tall and I did have to shorten the hem, but it was easy since it was one piece of material. It was comfortable since it has some stretch to it, but it still showed off my curves (in a good way). Best of all, I felt young in it!

This is a gorgeous dress! The color is stunning (it is deeper than pictured) and the scattered, iridescent sequins give it just a touch of sparkle! It comes in navy, too, but I am partial to the eggplant. It is a very simple style and the rosettes are really what makes it stand out in a crowd. It is also very comfortable! I would highly recommend – this dress won’t disappoint!

I bought this dress for mog and thought it was beautiful. It was true to size and the color periwinkle was beautiful. It fit well and I'm 5"8" and 145lbs.and bought size10. I tried it on several times,but it felt prickly and it had a liner. It was just not going to work for me. I still would recommend this dress because its beautiful!

This dress REALLY is amazing! I ordered five other dresses for my daughter's wedding and sent them all back until this one! Say yes to this dress! The Blue-Purple is a beautiful dark periwinkle. I went up a size, and it pulls right over my head and flows like I'm Cinderella. SO comfortable for us 50+ 5'4" moms.

This dress is better in person than in the picture. Just enough detail and beading. I am on the shorter side of petite - just 5' and it does not need to be hemmed with 3" heels. So if you are taller, you may need to buy a regular size, not petite. Would love it down one size, but unavailable.

I’m usually a 12 or size large. Was swimming in this 12 and purchased the burgundy / wine red when I really want a candy apple, Coke can red dress for an upcoming event. Material was comfortable but I would have needed to go down a size and still likely shorten. Returned.

Reviewed on www.dillards.com
This dress fits true to size. I wear a 6 in everyday street clothes and bought this in a 6, accurate sizing. The dress is long, I'm 5'7" and will be wearing 2.5" heels to avoid hemming. I'm using it as a wedding dress. Great value and gorgeous. Like most dresses with sequins, plan on some falling off here or there. The gold is a perfect color, cool good and not so yellow gold, so be mindful of that, depending on what you are looking for. The dress is lined and a little heavy. I was worried about the fit through the shoulders and arms since it has no stretch and I lift a fair amount of weights, good arm room. I plan on shinning, literally in this dress. I hope you buy it and shine too!!! Good luck!

This is a very pretty blue; a nice alternative to the typical black dress. Unfortunately, the sizing was off and it did not fit me. The dress was too tight across the bust, but fit perfectly everywhere else. I larger size would've been too large, so it was returned. In my opinion, the bust is cut too small in comparison to the rest of the dress.

This dress is much cuter in person than the pictures online showed it. I originally bypassed it looking at the pictures online but then saw one in the store and tried it on. It fit so well and looked extremely flattering on! I am super happy with this dress. I am around 5'4" and weigh around 150lbs; I bought a size 6 and it fits perfect. Even my friends said "Wow! That's a nice dress!" when they saw me wearing it. I must be shorter than the model in the pictures because the length of the dress trails on the floor a bit for me creating a little train effect. Overall, a great dress.

Very comfortable modest coverage gown; I wished it came with a coordinating cardigan or shawl. You may need a special bra or not; the dress is padded in the chest area but, no support. Pantyhoserie with midriff/tummy control really makes the elegant/modest-sexy look but, the material is thick enough to go commando! It's a taupy-earthy, grey color which, is hard to match accessories with; I went with black accessories and I think soft silver fabrics would be okay too.

I just bought this for my daughter's Miami wedding in September. I'm 5' 10" and the length is nice, it fits true to size and the sage color is very pretty. It's more lightweight than some of the dresses I tried on and I don't want to melt in the Miami heat so this is a much better option. I like the shear overlay, hides a 65 yr olds arms. 😂. It will look nice with silver sandals and silver blingy jewelry.
