J Kara Women's Elegant Beaded Evening Gown with Detachable Scarf - Plus Size Formal Dress for Prom, Wedding & Special Occasions

The dress was way too long. I’m 5’2” and it was about 5” too long. Too full in the bust but otherwise it fit nicely. Ordering your regular size should work. I ordered a 20W, but probably could have worn an 18W.Received many compliments. It was comfortable to wear. The fit was perfect. The stretchy fabric was a god send! By the end of the night the beads under the arms started to rub I probably danced more than most!This dress would definitely be a contender for my daughter's wedding in June, but as another reviewer noted, the scarf was missing. It was so frustrating trying to contact/live chat with a customer service representative, and explain that the "order" wasn't missing, just the scarf. Since I have serious doubts that I will receive the matching scarf, the dress is likely going to be returned. As to the dress itself, I am 5'4" and surprisingly, the length was just right for modest heels. I love that it's sleeveless because I tend to get warm, but I wanted the scarf for the ceremony because it's more appropriate and my arms aren't as toned as they could be. If you are short-waisted, you will probably have to have the bodice shortened at the shoulders so the beaded portion falls at a more flattering length. I would probably have about an inch taken in around the bust as well, if I were to keep the dress. It has great potential, but I went and found a couple other options since the scarf is missing and I'm running out of time to get alterations done.The only thing I would like for people to know.... the beading can rub they underside of you arms. I wore it to a symphany, I could not wait to get it off by the end!! I liked the fit, the color and everything else about the dress, but my arms hated it.Bought this for my daughters wedding, after having tried on many others. It fit perfectly!! I can’t wait to wear it in May!I purchased the last one, 2 sizes too big. But it was reduced to $50! I’m wearing it to my daughters wedding in July. She asked me if I could get a sage green dress. This dress was perfect! Going to have alterations done. The dress itself is quite nice. Lots of beads and pearls. Very happy with this purchase.I loved the dress, fit perfectly. Very comfortable.Style was too sparkly for the occasion. Beads were very heavy.Mine was very long but it was beautiful!
