Promising review: "This dress is so beautiful and it fit perfectly! The quality is amazing, no alterations were required, and the fabric actually feels very expensive.

Promising review: "I spent hours online and combing through racks at stores trying to find a nice, simple dress to wear to a wedding. Finally, I stumbled upon this dress on Amazon and ordered it in black. Let me just say that it's just what I was looking for. The material is a cotton-spandex and has nice quality stitching. Also, unlike most off the shoulder dresses/shirts, the sleeves remain off the shoulder and I don't have to constantly pull them back down. So this is an A+ for anyone looking for something inexpensive but chic." —Sam Ander

This has adjustable straps!
Promising review: "I purchased this dress for a wedding I was attending. I was a little nervous about the low back, I can’t/won’t go without a bra and those pasties don’t work for me. I was happy to see when I got it that the straps were adjustable so my strapless bra worked perfectly with it. I received tons of compliments all night, and who doesn’t love a dress with pockets? The fabric is stretchy so you have a little wiggle room on the size." —Mandee

Get it from Amazon for $34.95 (available in sizes 4–14 and 12 colors).
Promising review: "I was looking for a dress to wear to attend my brother-in-law's wedding. I wanted something knee-length with a high neckline. Originally I was thinking that I would choose a black dress, but when I saw this dress in cream, I had to order it. The dress fits nicely on my figure without being too tight. It fit perfectly, since I measured myself and ordered according to the measurements in product details. The crochet lace is lovely and strong, not the stretchy, loose and basic lace you would see in most stores. I am excited to wear it next week at the wedding." —brianna
