Promising review: "I was looking for a dress to change into for my Jazz Age/Gatsby–themed wedding after I was done wearing my ball gown wedding dress and this fit the bill PERFECTLY. It is described as beige, which it is not — definitely more blush/pinkish. Perfect if I were going for that color as the style and fit were fantastic! The beading and sequins did not look cheap or costume-y at all." —Catharine

Promising review: "Wore this as a last minute reception dress to my wedding in sunny, sunny California. I added a petticoat to give it extra volume. It was very comfortable and got lots of compliments — no one could believe I had just ordered it two days before 😉" —57:88

Promising review: "I bought this dress in white and used it as my grand exit/get away dress at my wedding (my big wedding dress wouldn't fit into my husband's convertible coupe). IT WAS PERFECT!!! My dad kept saying I looked like a movie star during the grand exit and nobody believed I got it from Amazon. Dress is a quality material that's not flimsy and has stretch to it. I normally don't wear bodycon style dresses, but this one fit me perfectly. The V plunge is deep so I decided to go without a bra or petals and it worked fine for me." —Shawna Howell

Promising review: "This is my new fave dress! The quality is very nice for the price paid. The lace is soft and not scratchy at all. The dress is fitted but has a good amount of stretch, so it's comfortable to sit and walk up and down stairs in. The stretch makes the off-the-shoulder cut actually stay off the shoulder and is very comfortable to wear. I wore this to a wedding and danced all night without having to adjust the dress. I received so many compliments at the wedding from complete strangers. I felt very beautiful." —Shelly V.

Promising review: "It's perfect! I was so scared to order my dress online but the reviews and other customers' pictures eased my mind a bit. The dress is EXACTLY how it's portrayed in the ad. The bust is a bit too big, but it doesn't take away from the beauty of the dress! A few alterations will get this dress perfect! I'm so excited to wear this dress!!" —Prochocoholic
Get it from ModCloth for $150 (available in sizes XXS–3X).
Promising review: "This is the fourth dress I ordered for my Las Vegas helicopter to Valley of Fire wedding last week and it was the obvious winner. Not fluffy, but definitely classy and glamorous with its shimmer and layered neckline. It is comfortable, too. This dress is generous on cleavage so you'll need a balconette bra, but not necessarily strapless (yay!). It is small enough to pack in a small backpack and easy to steam with a portable steamer, perfect for a carry-on or personal-item if you're traveling." —The New Mrs.
