Alex Evenings Women's Long Dress with Mandarin Neckline Jacket (Regular Petite Plus)

I love this dress! Ordered for my son's wedding. Beautiful in navy blue. I'm normally a true 22, but this runs a bit large. I may order a size smaller to compare but with this one only minor alterations would be needed. I will need to have it shortened but that's normal for me as I'm only 5'3". I was concerned about the sparkles as so many other reviews complained about shedding, but I haven't had any issue at all. Right out of the box all the sparkle and shine has stayed put without any shedding at all. Shipping was fast. Received my order in 3 days.

very pretty

I ordered the electric blue in sizes 12 and 14. I received navy blue and not the electric blue I ordered. I am 5'4", 147 pounds and the 12 and 14 both fit. The 12 is a touch tighter, but still looks good and felt comfortable. Both jackets fit fine. They do have shoulder pads in them as well. The shoulder straps on both dresses could be pulled up a bit in alteration. It would have to be pulled up more on the 14 than the 12 in my case and the length on both is the same and definitely needs to be shortened for me. With the larger size, the bodice could be taken in a touch on the sides for me, but everything except the length could be fine without altering if the jacket was worn all the time, which I will be doing anyway. On one, it is clear that the person sewing the neckline pulled the material too tightly as there is a small spot right in the middle that is slightly stretched and so does not lay perfectly flat against the chest. What people say about the glitter is true. It does shed off the dress and I had glitter all over the floor after trying both of them on. The glitter is very fine though. I don't know what color the glitter is on the other colors of dresses, but the glitter on the navy blue ones I received is blue so it doesn't stand out like you have silver specks all over you. I like that it blends in but is still sparkly. They seem to be decently made. They are made in China, unfortunately. I like the dress, but I am not happy they sent the wrong color and I would really like them to send the right color.

I originally ordered this for a wedding in Chicago in December. The fit was perfect and looked great. I got sick and could not attend the wedding so I sent it back.My husbands school has a benefit gala every year so when the notice was sent out I re ordered the same dress. Again, the fit was perfect and looked wonderful.Alex Evenings is a brand I’ve bought before at Dillard’s and they did not let me down!

The 14 fit very well, and the jacket hits right at hips. A longer jacket makes it look dowdy.

reviewAlex Evenings had always been a brand I could count on, but this dress cost me more to have it altered than what I paid for it. Unfortunately what I thought would be simple alterations ended up being a "remake of the dress". For a petite size the bodice of the dress was very wide and loose. The hem was 1" shorter on one side of the dress than the front and back of the dress. The jacket was big and had to take it in on the sides and arms. The neckline was so wide to make it fit had to add a small pleat in the center front.Alex Evenings gowns have always fit me very well and had been a quality brand. I found this dress to be exception, sadly, I can only give this dress 1 star.

This dress is gorgeous! It did have some glitter that fell from the packaging, but no more than any other item with glitter has done. It fits true to size and is very comfortable! Purchased for my son's wedding, and am looking forward to wearing it!

I ordered a 14P and this 12P. The 14P was more comfortable. The dress is still too long for me even though it is a petite. I got it for a wedding and I got many compliments. I have a hard time finding a dress that works with my body shape and this works!

Lo regresé. La tela se ve y siente de mala calidad.

Excelente vestido, me quedó perfecto, cuando lo saqué de la bolsa soltaba muchos brillos pero los demás se quedaron sin problema ya adheridos en el vestido e inclusive después de la tintorería.

Es un vestido elegante, de buena calidad, lo recibí conforme a lo señalado y dentro del tiempo estipulado.

This outfit is so glamorous, will add pictures after

sehr schön, leicht, ein Abendkleid für viele Anlässe
