"Elegant, sophisticated, and also sexy dress for special occasions. The Monroe Dress is made out of a heavyweight jersey that is not too heavy, but substantial enough to hide lumps and bumps. The subtle fishtail shape is beautiful and allows for more leg movement as well. The netting sleeves and neckline both covers and hints at skin, which is sexy. Long enough for tall women. Very comfortable too. I can't wait for an occasion to wear this dress!"
"This dress looks great, is very well-made and extremely comfortable with a really nice fit. I'm 5'5" tall and chose a petite because I didn't want it too long, but it still drapes the floor, I'll have to hem it. But it's exactly as pictured and fits as I hoped it would. I have several designs from Marcella, love them all!"
"I am a size 2X with a pear shape I was very reluctant to get this dress because women shapes like me are always persuaded to wear A line dresses . I put on a foundation garment and then the dress I felt and looked like a million bucks. No regret! You will love this dress as a plus size woman"
"Love the quality and fit of this dress. I wore it to my daughter’s wedding and received many compliments. It was comfortable and flattering. I am 5’6” and 147 lbs. wore a size M."
"I'm 5'7" and the length would be perfect with heels. Unfortunately, I can only wear a 1-2" heel, so will need to have the dress hemmed. But no problem!. I'm a size 8 and the medium fits very well with no alterations needed. The fabric is a little thicker than I expected, but lays smoothly on the body. The sheer arm and shoulder fabric is perfect! Hides upper arms attractively and can be worn as an off the shoulder style or one shoulder covered as shown in ad. Thank you for designing a beautiful and slimming dress!"
"It’s a beautiful dress! I’ll be wearing it to my son’s wedding in May. Fits perfect and the length is great with a 3 inch heal so no alterations needed. I usually wear a medium in a dress. That’s what I ordered. 5’4 and currently 155 lbs. planning to lose another 10 lbs before May. Sorry I edited my head. No make up and hair was disarray at 730am in the morning."
"Form fitting and Fits very nicely!"
"The dress fits beautifully. It is comfortable and looks exactly like the photo. Use the website measurements to determine your size. I wish it came in white also."
"This dress is gorgeous and fit perfectly. I bought it to wear as mother of the groom…but it turned out the wedding theme is garden floral, so I can’t wear it to the wedding. Loved it so much (as did my husband) that I kept it. Wish you would make this same dress in other colors! It is also of incredible quality. My first purchase here, and will definitely be making more!"
"Nice fabric, true to size and priced well."
