"Gorgeous dress. My first time and didn’t know their dresses are so long. Won’t let me return it . I finally got the nerve to. I cut 8 inches off the bottom. I’m 5’9 and it was that long. I love it now."
"Stunning dress. It fit like a glove."
"What a fabulous dress! I read other reviews and was slightly concerned, but ordered anyway. The fabric is very rich. It’s slightly heavier and extremely flattering. The unique and egdy style speaks for itself. I’m sure no one else will have it on. The fit is very true to size. I’m 5’7”, athletic and 140 lbs. I am always a size 4 dress and the small fits perfectly. The only thing I can’t believe is the price. It’s a bargain for sure! LOVE!"
"Looks amazing and fits just as well! It’s so hard to find cute formal wear for petites, especially in unique styles. And cutting for length is not a solution because the measurements up top are often wrong. So I was beyond happy to find this and can’t wait to wear it out. I hope to see more from this brand."
"I was so lucky on my first time purchasing from Marcella just pefect fit ( Gorgeous) so happy ! THANK YOU"
"Absolutely stunning Love it"
"I really loved this dress! I felt elegant and got so many compliments on the dress. It is a nice thick material, which is forgiving. It is a little tight at the bottom If you were planning on dancing, but for my gala it was perfect! What a bargain for the price!!"
"Love this gown and its so flattering"
"This dress is the epitome of pull on luxury. Gorgeous fabric. Instant glamour. Value for the money, 10/10. I am 5’6” and 118 pounds (36A bust) for reference. Definitely need to wear a strapless bra, one shoulder, or boob tape (which i have never done) with this dress. Upon receiving this dress, immediately ordered another MARCELLA dress."
"I felt so beautiful in this dress! So flattering and comfortable!"
