Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm 5'3", aprox 140lbs, 38-29-40, 32F bra. I purchased a size 12. It arrived in exactly a week. The dress was lovely. I would buy from this seller again. All of the girls at prom who spent $700 on their dresses could not believe I found this gem on Amazon for under $200. The only problems I had with this dress were entirely personal and forseeable because I am a picky short hourglass. I think that if you love this dress as much as I did and the only thing holding you back from buying it is the lack of reviews, you should throw caution to the wind and order it. The dress was about 4-5in too long, which I was expecting because I am considered petite. The dress had excess material bunch at the waist, which I again expected because of my chest to waist ratio. I did have the dress altered and it was a completely awful experience and waste of money, but it's okay because my dress was still very beautiful and no amount of crooked hemming could change that. The dress does not look like the advertised picture and I was completely okay with that because I feel that what I received was more unique. The slip is more gold than nude. There are four layers: two soft gold slips and 2 mesh layers. Up close the decaling is a bit old ladyish or vintage, whichever term you prefer. The neckline of the sheer decaling goes to my collar bones. The plunging neckline of the slip goes a little past where a normal bra band at the front is. I purchased a clear straped and backless bra from Amazon and taped my chest in. The back of the dress to the waist is sheer with decaling all over it. Sheer enough that you could see my bra band through it when I tried to wear a normal bra, but has enough rhinestones (?) on it that you couldnt see my horrendous tan lines. The sleeves are absolutely beautiful, but were bigger on me than I had liked. If you find a good seamstress, it shouldn't be a problem to fix them. The zipper in the back is not obnoxiously noticeable and goes down to the top of my bum where it gets stuck in the same place everytime I zip it up. Jimmy it a little and you'll be fine. The dress itself is timeless and I felt like the belt was a good idea, but did not go with the dress. I cut it off and wore a belt I purchased from Amazon. I think that this dress can be worn by any age. If you're worried about modesty, I'm sure you could find a tanktop to wear underneath. Or if you're more talented than me (and the seamstress I paid a leg and an arm for) you could probably sew something to be more conservative.
