Excellent communication and customer service. Thanks again.

My prom was cancelled, but the dress is really beautiful. I will wear it next year!!!

The dress is quite heavy but exquisitely made

Gownformal was absolutely amazing to work with. I felt like I was talking to a friend throughout the whole process. The beading on this dress is STUNNING! The attached photo is the closest I could get to showing the real color of the dress because the full body pictures didn’t do it justice. Be sure to check on the measurements for the sizing options to not have it too loose or too tight (: The shipping was also a lot sooner than expected. Overall, great dress, awesome shop! Can’t wait to order more in the future!

This dress is absolutely gorgeous! It shipped way before expected and fits like a glove! The only issue I had was that the straps were too long but it was an extremely easy fix, just had to sew them down to the length I needed!

I love this dress! I have a wedding to go and every store I've been the dress coast something arou $230. It's a lot of money for one night dress!Yes, this dress come from China. I choosed the express shipment, I ordered on Thursday night and I got my dress Monday in the afternoon.I'm surprised with the quality of the dress, and I'm in love with it!I'm not a tall person, 5'4" so the dress is a little to log for me, but that's something easy to fix and I'm gonna wear the dress with high heels.

I bought my size according to the size chart in the pictures, and after trying it on, it was tight around the hips. It also would benefit from having a hook and eye at the top of the zipper, but I was able to manage without. Many reviews commented on the length, which I believe is on the long side because you can have it hemmed to your specific height. After hemming it, I wasn't satisfied with the fit around the hips, making the zipper and satin core bunch up in an unflattering way. Thankfully, I opened the lining and found the seam allowances inside were 3/4-1" wide, making it easy to let out the dress where I needed it. After hemming it and letting out the hip area, it was the perfect fit, and I got many compliments on the dress when I wore it. I only give four starts because of the adjustments I had to make despite ordering to the size chart, but as for an off the rack dress at this price, I would recommend it. The bodice is see-through except for the lace and some built-in cups, but that wasn't an issue for me. Some reviewers cut out the triangle in the bust area, but I recommend keeping it if you're busty. If I had cut it out of the dress, it would have been way too revealing for my event. It's a fancy dress at a not-so-fancy price, which I absolutely loved.

I am 5’5”, 113 lbs, usually a size 0 or 2 in dresses. I ordered a size 2 and was worried it would be too small, since so many people said the sizing ran small, but it was actually a little too loose on me. The length will still skim the ground even in 3 inch heels, so I might get it tailored shorter.Overall, I still rated this a 5 because it is such a good deal and definitely seems nicer than $68. I removed the sheer triangle in the chest area and will be buying a nice sash to make the waist fit better. The thin ribbon going around the waist can easily be removed (not stitched on there too tightly) and I’ll just stitch a nicer one on.Here are some pictures. In the first one, the chest fabric is still attached. You can tell how much broader it makes the body—pretty unflattering. The dress becomes much more feminine and sleek once it is removed. I just used a packaging ribbon around the waist to make the dress fit better. Would have had to return the dress if it seemed like a sash would cause gaping, but since it’s only a little too big, it should be fine.

After seeing all the great photos in the review section I figured I could take a chance. For the price I paid I was not disappointed! I went by the seller's chart (very important) and found myself between two sizes. I went up and when it got to me I found it was a perfect fit. The length is excellent--I am 5' 7" and plan to wear some heels with it otherwise I need no alterations. A couple sticky points: there were a couple errant navy threads around the shoulder but once on they are impossible to notice. A point of the hem was sewn to one of the appliqués but this was easy enough to snip the thread and re-tack. All the beads and pearals were very well sewn, in fact better than some off-the-rack gowns I've tried on or worn over the years. The cups sewn in are nice and wearable so you don't need any kind of bra and I did not find the material itchy. You will feel so elegant wearing this dress!

I am 5'2 and 105 lbs. I am very thin and short so the dress was a bit long and loose in the waist area. I got it altered and everything worked out well. It's very pretty and looks well made. On the night of prom, many people complimented my dress and some even guessed that I spent over $600 on it. I felt like a princess in it! The detailing is soooooooo elegant and I am really satisfied with it. The seller is phenomenal! Considering the price, how fast it got to me and the quality of the dress: I'd say that this is the best buy I've made in 2017. I wish I had an event to wear it to again :/

After reading a few reviews I decided to go up two sizes than I normally am. I usually fit a size 12 us but I do have a larger bust and an hour glass shape so I ordered a 16 which was perfect everywhere except the bust ironic lol. I got this for a court house wedding and will only have a few alterations to make it perfect for my body! Since I have amazon prime it came in 2 days today is a Sunday and it still came on time! Couldn't be happier and it's just as pretty as I was expecting!

I am a photographer who ordered this dress for personal project/ styled bridal shoot, I received the dress today and am in love! For the price it is well put together and will do what I need it to do. I have included a few photos that I took. My Model is a US size 3, but ordered a size 6 based off the measurements, I also plan on taking the cleavage cover off as it is just a few stitches. I will update my review with photos of thegown with my model in it after the shoot happens.
