I like this dress, but I wanted to love it. Let me premise this by saying I'm currently searching for a wedding gown that won't break the bank. I thought this dress (and the Sexy V-Neck Side Slit dress also sold by HONGFUYU) in hopes that I would find a gown that would fit my needs for just one day. Of course, I didn't expect designer quality, so I was going into this with an open mind.I purchased the gray and the champagne colored gowns in a size 8 and 10 to compare. I'd say sizing is pretty spot on, as the 8 fit pretty nicely and the 10 was a little too loose. What was consistent in both were that the arm holes were a little too small, and mesh is not very forgiving. I'd say an area of improvement would be to bring the underarm cuts just a little bit further down. Another downside to these dresses are the cups that are put in. They look like they're meant to be pushup, but they're placed on a slant so they actually offer no pushup at all for me. Honestly, it could just be me though, because I have a smaller chest. Not sure how it would work out on larger chested ladies. It seems like an easy enough fix to have a seamstress replace the pads.Now onto the color. The champagne I received was more peachy than champagne. I wouldn't recommend the color unless you're going for a peachy nude color. The gray is a beautiful shade however, and perfect for someone like me who doesn't want a white wedding gown but still wants to look bridal.The slit is way too high, and offers no forgiveness because the tulle is actually sewed into the inside slip. It comes all the way up to my underwear line, which is crazy since I am 5'10". I probably would've liked it better if the tulle was sewn separately. Also, the beading on this is darker than the other dress I mentioned. To me, it makes it look cheaper than the other dress.I do like the dress and think it's a quality dress for the price you pay. Everyone's taste is different, some like to show a little bit more leg and some don't. Some might like the champagne color, but I don't. I'm not going to fault the dresses for the style or the color, they just didn't suit my needs. However, the one star was taken off for the tiny arm holes and the cups.I think if you are going to get this dress, I'd ask to custom make it. Even at 5'10", the dress was LONG. I was having a hard time walking around the house in the dress. I can see it being better if I were to wear heels with the dress though. So unless you're taller than I am and planning on wearing heels, I'd say ask for it to be made to your height, so you don't have to incur more charges from your seamstress for all the layers that will need to be cut (and maybe the seller will save some fabric too!)
