Ouman Sweetheart Bridesmaid Chiffon Prom Dress Long Evening Gown

I purchased this as I will be a bridesmaid in April. The turnaround time for delivery of my order was quick - less than two weeks. The price is better than right - I've never had such an affordable dress in all my 10 turns (no joke) as a bridesmaid. The zipper does make me nervous, but I don't find it to be so rickety that I need to pay more than the cost of the dress to have a tailor replace it. At this price I am contemplating ordering a backup small in case the zipper bursts. The fit is as expected. For reference, I am somewhere between 5'6 and 5'7, 140-145 lbs, and I wear a 34D. I purchased a small, and it is still a little big in the bust, but the strap is effective and I find no significant gapping. The only disappointment (aside from the zipper) is the length. I'm tried on a size medium that my sister had purchased and found it an appealing length (though too large in the bust). The medium was long enough for me to wear a three inch heel. The small, however, is significantly shorter. In a flat sandal the dress just grazes the ground. This may be an appealing feature for many, but I'll leave it to the bride to decide in my case. Apart and aside from the zipper, the only other reason for the reduction in stars was a color issue. The dress I received was a slightly different color than the one that my sister purchased in a medium. This circumstance is a non-issue for those who are not participating in a large wedding party, but for those that are (and know that the bride desires uniformity in color), it may be worth comparing the dresses upon receipt.

I ordered a white XXL then after reading reviews I decided to go a size up. Communicating back & forth with the seller was less frustrating then I thought it was going to be & they were able to make the change for me even though the XXL said it had been shipped already. I ordered it on the 7th of the month & got it the 30th so there is some wait time until you get the dress. Immediately upon receiving this I opened it up to inspect due to this dress is what I was wearing for my wedding day & I fell in love. I had a very high dollar top of the line very known designer wedding dress & it turned out to be everything I wasn't looking for which is why I chose this dress. When I tried it on the zipper was a bit tough to work is some places but I had no issue what so ever with getting it up & down & mind you I did try on several times before my wedding day. Now the dress for the price is perfect. But I did make alterations myself to the dress. I had to bring it in about an inch or so around the bust because it was still a bit loose. The front (boob) area the fabric comes outward so I brought that in as well so it can hug the body. I also added two inch straps (simple front to back). After my alterations & styling it up with a broach, belt, & of course jewlery my guest thought I spend hundred (my husband included) Only I know the dirty little secret of my extremely cheap yet beautiful wedding gown lol. Also I will say this, the dress does run long (or I'm just short lol) so if your on the short side you may have to hem it. I just left it but wished I would of hemmed it. I'm 5'1.5" & I'd say there was a good maybe 3 or so inches left in length.. All in all its a great buy especially for the price.. I wish I knew how to post pics to show y'all how amazing this dress really is!*Update, I added a picture to help y'all out lol*

I was a bit worried about the quality of this dress (due to the low price) but can happily say it's just as pretty in person. I ended up spending quite a bit to get it tailored, though, so keep that in mind if you're trying to get something that will truly be low cost. The dress took a couple months to ship to me (I live in Texas), but I knew that up front so I was able to order with plenty of time to spare. For reference, I'm 5'5, about 165 lbs, and I typically wear size 10-12 on bottom. I ordered the size large, and it fit me like a glove until I lost weight. :) I planned on wearing flats with the dress, but it was so long that I was stepping on it when I walked, so a tailor took several inches off the bottom. The back zipper was sewn too closely to the end of the fabric, which made it extremely difficult to zip up (whether the dress was on me or a hanger -- so it wasn't a matter of fit). The tailor tried three times to fix the zipper and had no luck, so she eventually ended up adding a strip of fabric on one side (like a handle) so I could pull the fabric taunt while someone else zipped it up, and that worked pretty well, so I highly recommend it! In addition, the tailor and I both noticed that the front portion of the dress is uneven; the right side comes up higher on my chest than the left side, no matter how I pull it up (there is actually physically less fabric on the left side of the cups). The price of your tailoring will obviously depend on which tailor you use, but this dress ended up costing me over five times the original cost of the dress just to fix all the things that needed altering, so keep that in mind if you're wanting a cheap dress.
