Alex Evenings Petite Empire Waist Dress

First time buying a petite dress fit was comfortable length was perfect.

Fits well, great quality, beautiful dark plum color, workmanship wonderful…can’t wait to wear to my son’s wedding!

I ended up buying this dress in an 8 petite and it’s a good fit. I am 5’4” and weigh 140. It’s perfect and absolutely beautiful. I’m looking forward to wearing this as a guest to a wedding.

I searched for months to find a dress for my son’s wedding. This is simple and elegant, got a size larger for plenty of room in the rear and wanted comfort. I did had to have top altered (too low) and hemmed because I didn’t want to wear a high heel. Has nice stretch material.

The dress fit well and the design is beautiful. It also drape well on the body. What I didn’t notice was that there were two stains on front of the dress. Because I didn’t see it I wore the dress to an event on 08/29. It was while I was there I happened to see it. But that was not the worst. The upper back part of the dress is lined with a thin fabric and the sequins poke through the thin lining and my upper back was on fire with a terrible itching. I left the party early because I couldn’t stand the intense itching and I was very uncomfortable throughout the time I wore the dress. When I took it off my back had a deep red rash that continued until Sunday evening even though I applied ointment on the rash. This is sad as this is a beautiful dress with a dark burgundy, that matched my complexion so well. I don’t know if I can wear it again unless a thicker fabric is lined where the sequins are.

So I get a notification that my dress was delivered. Looked everywhere around my property. No delivery. Called Macys was told to wait a few days maybe it will show up. Nope. Called and told them. They said they contracted a new company. Door dash I believe. I said “what… door dash”? They say on my website that it was delivered and to keep it!! Well I don’t have it. So I ordered another one and it went well.

Jenny was wonderful. I was getting frustrated looking for my size on the clothing tickets, she was a lifesaver. She knew her clothing, long gowns, for my grandson’s formal wedding in September. She found a perfect gown that I will not have to have it hemmed either. Jenny knows her product very well. She is a great asset to the formal wear department.

Very disappointed with this purchase. The dress arrived with a broken zipper, so I couldn't even wear it. It's unacceptable that an item was shipped in this condition. I expected much better quality for the price. I will be returning it.

Very happy with the dress. The only complaint I have is how it was shipped. It is a gown and they had it all folded up in a gray shipping bag, wasn’t happy about that.

This dress is gorgeous, so well-made and flattering. I got a 12P, and it fit me perfectly (5ft, 140 lbs, hourglass). However, while I am going to a formal wedding in August, I am simply a guest and this dress is too MOB for me. I am returning and going with something less glamorous.
