I was all out of black tie dress options a week before a charity gala, so I decided to order this gown based on the previous reviews. I honestly was expecting something poorly made and ill-fitting, but to my surprise it fit true to size and the quality was amazing -- the sequin and stitching was very well done. I hemmed the length about 4 inches, and I removed the triangle mesh insert over the bust to make it a true v-neck. I received SO many compliments and everyone couldn't believe I paid $165 for it. I ordered a size 4 -- I am 120lbs, 5'1'', 34B bust.
