I have this dress in black… I love this dress... I bought it about two years ago from Nordstrom… And now that I need a red dress for a Halloween party, I had such confidence in the design and fit, I just ordered the same one in red!So I got this dress yesterday and thought it was odd it was balled up in a small ball packaged I n a cheap bag. And boy… am I badly disappointed…This is not a dress by Dress the Population. The material and design are no better then the cheap store knocks offs you would find in the local low scale mall. There isn’t even a flippin’ tag on the entire dress!!! (Hahahaha!!!) This is so irritating and a massive inconvenience for me. I now have this NASTY dress for a very fashionable Halloween party that fits me poorly. When I say poorly… I’m meaning that it looks worse than cheap and bad bad bad… So I now get to rush to the mall tomorrow morning to try and find a better option. What a pain!!!This is getting really tiresome to have knock offs sent instead of the real item… I think this is the third time that I have been sent something other than what is advertised from Amazon. I wish Amazon could provide an authentication process for merchandise sold on this site because I can’t trust what I’m going to get anymore! I will now have to order branded merchandise direct from vendor or trusted Dept store. This takes away the convenience of Amazon and is moving the industry backward.Order up a size this runs small it’s gorgeous if I got The right size I might have purchased it’s hust not worth $200 ! Yikes! $100 max ! Color was really pretty too way way way overpriced for what u get just ridiculous nice but u can go toMacy’s and get same dress for $100I've come to really love Dress the Population as a brand that I can always depend on. I have several of their dresses and I love the design and fabrics. I bought this gown for my sister's wedding, as the maid of honor. Within 2 hours of wearing it, the front bust seam began to unravel and the bust plunge then lowered nearly two inches. It was a disaster. Very disappointed in the quality of the construction. It was not too tight, just bad sewing.I first saw this dress on Nordstrom bridal and they were out of my size. I found it on Amazon and ordered it for my Fiesta themed wedding. It was perfect! I received so many compliments on how elegant and classy it was. Does run long. I had to have it shortened and taken in someGorgeous, sexy looking dress!I had the dress hemmed and darts added at the arm holes.This dress has a simple look that can be elevated by styling and personality. The fabric is a midweight crepe with a hint of stretch. I found the sizing to run small. The medium fit like a small 8. I knew I wouldn't be able to fit the dress after getting one thigh in it. If you're on the higher side of the dress size for each size range (for example, if you're a 10 for the medium), you'll probably need to size up. I normally wear a 10. I definitely needed a large for the right fit. I might have chosen the X-large just to be safe. If you're not curvy, you're probably safe.Thanks so much for taking the time to read this review. I hope the information that I've provided makes your decision a little easier.I tried this via prime wadrode. The dress is beautiful but it came filthy. Dingy and wrinkled. There’s a red stain on the back.I want to buy it, but I would like a replacement. When I went to look for the seller I was surprised to see it’s “Dress the Population Store”So this designer actually sent me this dress in this condition and what? Doesn’t want me to buy it!?
