Review on Red Off Shoulder Mermaid Evening Dress - Babyonline® Formal Bridesmaid Gown by Davaun Pritchard

Gorgeous dress but runs WAY small! I ordered a 16. I'm just under 5'9 & just under 200lbs, measurements are 40x37x47 & I could not begin to get this dress on.I actually got stuck halfway in it & had to get my son to help me out.(it was quite comical). The material is black lace over a non-shiny satin type polyester which has absolutely no give. If there had been a zipper option I may have gotten further, but it has a corset lace up back, while not a bad idea for adjustability, you definitely need a second person to lace you up after your in it, or you need to be thin enough to wiggle in it after you initially loosly lace up the back. If there was some give in the material, it would allow the dress to slide over your curves, but I'm not sure how to get into this one.I attempted over the head after I realized there was not a chance in heck I was going to be able to step into it, & that is how I got stuck.I have a thinner friend I'm going to let try it on.if it goes on her I will update & let you know her measurements so you'll know what a 16 will fit onto. I would love to give it a higher star rating, but the sizing is just too far off.UPDATE: My friend tried on this dress - she is normally a size 8/10 and wears a 34B bra. This dress was somewhat big on her, but not by much. she was planning to re-order down a size to a 14 or 12 & see how that fit
