Alex Evenings Womens Long A-line Mother of The Bride Dress with Illusion Neck and Sleeves (Petite and Regular Sizes)

Purchased this dress for my son’s upcoming wedding . It’s beautiful, well made and flattering, but it is really long!! I’m almost 5’7” and I’ll have to have it hemmed, which will probably cost as much as the dress. I tried a petite, and that was too short, so consider the length if you buy Alex Evenings gowns. The navy is a very dark navy, but will be good for a fall wedding.

This dress fit so well. It looked beautiful and so very comfortable to wear. I bought the petite and I don’t even have to have it altered.

Arrived rolled up in a ball in a plastic baggie, guess that means the dress will travel well. Despite late package arrival (the formal event was two days ago), weird packaging, and delayed shipping, the dress is really cute and fits well. The color is really pretty and the sequins are nicely color matched. The petite length was perfect so that it did not need hemmed (for 5’4.5” height). Really sad that I couldn’t wear it to the dinner, but will keep it anyway. Might want to order well in advance, and follow the measurements on the size chart.

Purchased a few gowns and they were either way too big or small or not as pictured. I decided to go with Amazon's "Try before You Buy" for a wedding in October. I also needed something shipped ASAP to allow time for any needed alterations. I ordered 3 gowns, and after trying on the first two, was disappointed in the way the looked and fit, I almost gave up on even trying this one on. As soon as I did, I was amazed at not only the quality of this gown, but how it fit compared to the others. It's very forgiving in areas a woman might want to hide and gives a slim look. It's absolutely stunning and you can't beat the price from Amazon, as other stores sell this same designer gown for double the price! I will need some minor alterations done like the hem, but that is to be expected for me as I'm 53", but I couldn't be more thrilled with this gown!

The dress fit well and looked nice but the beading on the arm was already coming off before the wedding ever started.

The dress was perfect. To provide some scale (because knowing the dress size without some idea of my size & shape is pretty useless to you) I'm 5'2" and 135 lb and I have a 29.5" inseam my bra size is 36DD and I wore 3" heels and the dress fit perfect with zero alterations. I wore a size 8 petite. The skirt lining brushed the top on my toes with the shoes on and the overlay just skimmed the floor. The only time I needed to lift the skirt was when going up stairs, otherwise I walked normally with no catches, trips, or steps on the skirt. I'm 49 years old and have had a couple of kids so the the fact that the fit was so perfect I didn't require any shapewear or bra was impressive. I wore the dress to a formal wedding. I was comfortable for the 9 hours I had it on and had no problems at all dancing the night away. I received compliments all night and felt not only beautiful in the dress but extremely comfortable as well. I would without a doubt recommend this dress and would definitely buy it again. PS: I did try on a regular size in store first and although it looked ok & would have worked with alterations the petite size hit all the right places... I would suggest a petite size for anyone under 5'4".... Oh, and if you're on the fence with the beading like I was... don't sweat it. The beading is very tasteful and is soooooo much prettier in person than any stock or actual photos that I've been able to find.

Beautiful dress perfect for the summer spring for mother of the bride/groom. Petite fit perfectly did not need it hemmed. I am 5'1". Would have kept it but went with a heavier dress for Feb. Wedding.

The picture on the website is actual navy blue. The color I received was a dull navy, almost black. The dress fit well but the color made it inappropriate for a wedding.

What a dress!!.. I had been looking for months for a dress to wear at my son't wedding. As soon as I saw this dress I ordered it right away. It is absolutely gorgeous. It's elegant and very well made. I take size 10 petite and I fit into the size 10 petite. I still have to get it hemmed to be made shorter but that's ok. I highly recommend this dress. I can't wait to wear it.

Llegó muy puntual, el vestido está precioso! La talla es exacta a lo que te dice en las medidas. Me encanto.

This evening gown was so flattering in all the rite places. Another quality product from Alex gowns. Beautiful beading that didn't fall off. Unfortunately it was a bit heavy for me as I tend to overheat or I wouldn't have returned. Length was perfect also. Overall, a stunning dress. Refund was very quick within 2 days.

I wore this dress to my daughter's wedding. I put it on at 12:00 pm for pictures and had no problem wearing it until after midnight. It moved with me beautifully and was very comfortable throughout. I ordered petite, but still needed to shorten it as I wore low heels. I am 5'2. I felt very much Mother of the Bride in this elegant and regal dress, and received many compliments. I highly recommend this well made lovely gown.

The dress is gorgeous and I'm disappointed that I have to return it. From the waist of the dress to the bottom of the hem is 44 inches. You'd have to be 5' 6" to wear it. The intricate design makes it virtually impossible to shorten from the bottom or the waist.
