  Beautiful design, but very clingy, 10.21.2012

| I was very apprehensive about ordering a wedding dress online, but I simply could not find a design I liked better, anywhere, at any price point. The Analisa Lace Wedding Dress is a beautiful design with literally everything I wanted in a wedding dress! However, I would offer a few words of caution. I ordered the 0X based upon the measurements in the size chart, NOT the numerical size. (In street clothes, I'm a 16.) Based upon the measurements, I was actually concerned the dress would be too big! However, when I got the dress, that was definitely not the case. So, I exchanged it for a 1X. The 1X fits pretty well, but as the other reviewer noted, it is very clingy in the stomach area. I guess I expected a slightly curvier fit: I am only a B cup, and the top fits perfectly, the waist is a little loose, and the stomach/hips are a bit snug. I don't think it's an issue that shaping garments won't fix, maybe even a minor alteration. But, if you have a pear shape like me with a smaller waist and larger stomach/hips, I would DEFINITELY order up and go with your street clothes size, NOT the measurement chart. If you are very busty, I would be cautious, because as I said, the top fit my 38B's just right. The fabric is a little bit shiny. I wouldn't say it's cheap looking though and I like that it is stretchy, but it definitely has some shine that some might like or not like. The length was perfect on my 5'6 height with heels. Oh, one more thing! I LOVE that the dress is lightweight! It feels like just wearing a normal formal dress, not a heavy gown, which I like. It's very comfortable and I think it will be great to move around in. Overall, I am happy with the dress and do not think I will find another dress that has the design features I wanted, the right size, and the right price! |

pretty, but a little clingy, 3.3.2012

| The fabric is stretch lace, but doesnt look too cheap (I hope) with a silky-poly lining that has serious static cling issues (hope this can be alleviated with spray-on static guard!). Street clothes - I am in between 20/22 and 5'4" - ordered 2x based on measurements & it does fit as well as any dress could. Unfortunately, no dress will make me taller or thinner, but this dress creates a flattering overall sillouette. I am very busty (42DD) and it showcased up top, but not in a vulgar way. I like having sleeves so I dont feel like my arm-fat is on display. Although I'm curvy-hourglass figured, with a defined waist in between large top & bottom, I do have a BIG BELLY and this clings a little too much. It clings & showcases the belly like I'm pregnant. So, I'm looking for a good foundation garment to wear underneath & keep everything strapped down. I hope I can find one because I love the slightly vintage, romantic, totally lace look of this dress! On the right body (like the real life pics of Shundy featured online) its SO pretty: simple, but gorgeous. If I could hide my belly a little better I would give 5 stars to the dress, but it's stretch lace, so kinda clings in the belly area. But delivery was within one week! PS I *love* that Kyonna shows so many styles modeled on REAL BODIES to show how the clothes might really look on you IRL because not all plus size ladies are proportioned like professional + model bodies!! |

Cheap material, but a decent low price wedding dress, 5.31.2011

| I ordered this dress for my wedding. The material is not great quality, but it's a $300 dress, so you could expect that. I am modifying mine so it's a little less frumpy looking on me...but it's a good, low-key dress. The delivery was super fast. No complaints there. |
