I ordered this dress along with a back-up,(strapless satin tulle prom dress with black lace trim) from this company, as a destination wedding dress. I placed my order late Thursday night and received both in the mail the following Monday...proof that in-stock items are shipped out ASAP. The quality of work/material is very nice on both styles. (thick satin, fully lined, no flaws)I didn't notice if they stated in the description, but the dresses are made in USA. Also, I am very pleased with the fit. If you are unsure or uneasy about ordering a size, go by the size chart measurements. They are completely accurate. It is hard to tell about the length in the pics, I am 5'4" and the dress falls mid-calf, tea-length. I am very pleased with both dress' styles, prices, and the company. I definitely recommend ordering items from Pacifiplex. The dress is absolutely adorable.

Two are 5'10 the rest range between 5'0 and the latter. All of my girls are completely different body types and I figured this would be the best way to accommodate them all. Let me first say that looks wise, my girls and I have received an INCREDIBLE amount of compliments on the color (slate gray) and the way the dress looks in pictures on each of the girls. Comfort wise, I would highly, HIGHLY suggest that every girl who buys this dress please buy the matching bandeau. My girls are all very clever and figured out several ways to wear the dress so that it fit them comfortably but there was some drama when they first tried them on and realized their mistake in not getting the bandeau. 4 of the 10 have large breasts and we had to get really clever so that they felt comfortable all night. BUT when it comes down to it, only three didn't wear bras and all of them looked AMAZING. I got married in a mansion on the gold coast of Long Island NY and they matched the setting perfectly. All mentioned to me that the dress was extremely comfortable to wear and admitted that although they were nervous at first about the way the fabric would hug their body, they were pleasantly surprised to find that it didn't and that it actually complimented their body. Good luck girls! Sabrina Hi girls,

I see them on My Fair Wedding with David Tutera all the time and LOVE them. However, they definitely break my budget. So I'm going to copy desiree and ask that if one of you ladies would like to get rid of your dresses, you shoot me an email! It's elise.mirae@gmail.com elise dot mirae at gmail dot com.

The matron of honor (bride's sister) is expecting any day now and she wore the long style and the other three girls wore the shorter length. The dresses looked absolutely stunning - each girl chose to tie her dress in unique, different and flattering styles. The ladies seemed very comfortable and danced the night away. From a "guest" point of view, I was impressed with how beautiful the bridal party looked from start to finish!

I have one bridesmaid who is a size 6 and another who's maybe a 14/16 (both large chested). They are my 2 best friends in the whole world & the last thing I want to do is make them look bad! Sounds like getting the sample dress would be the best option if even considering moving on with these dresses... bummer.

Same dress but cheaper fabric so I just use her wrapping techniques. Yes check out Monif C for Bra friendly ways of wrapping the dress.
