Alex Evenings Women's Embroidered Tea-Length Cocktail Dress with Illusion Sleeves - Perfect for Weddings, Parties & Special Occasions (Petite & Regular Sizes)

I purchased this exquisite Grace Karin dress to wear at a wedding. I loved it right out of the box it came in, and thought of so many ways I might have kept it, but returned it because it was too tight at the bust and too long in the shoulder to waist. (Though I wished it, the fabric does not stretch)The lace is beautiful with rich satin embroidery, catching the light with slight variance at different angle Make no mistake -this is an expensive looking tea-length, a dress in which you may look even more beautiful than the bride at a wedding. It style is timeless and figure forgiving. Tip: there are no pockets in this or most evening wear dresses, so underneath I wear pocketed exercise shorts to hold my phone and other items.The lining is of sufficient weight to lightly flare the heave lace at the hemline. The thing straps are sufficient and attached at the shoulders. The zipper may need some tuggling and help to get over waistline seam, but that is normal.You may want to wear a strapless bra or over the bust corset when trying on because it may make the dress fit differently.Neg: Wish this had been offered in petite plus sizes.
