FormaldressesFormaldresses Evening Celebrity Maxi Dress

I bought this costume because I usually go all out for Halloween. I expect to get exactly what I pay for, and this delivered above and beyond what I hoped for! I was looking at something similar on Etsy for 4 times the price, but no need. The quality of this dress is so much like the movies it's crazy. The materials are very sturdy and it has the slight sheer quality I was looking for as well. On it's own it's even a beautiful dress. I love it!

I have mixed feelings about this dress.The Pros:- This dress comes made to your specifications and flits like a glove.- It is recognizable as Rose with the right accessories (a red wig and/or dye job and the Heart of the Ocean necklace).- The skirt is thick enough you don't need a slip for modesty's sake- It has a sewn-in bra so you need wear no modern straps that might show as the dress slips aroundThe Cons:- The lace on the left side was sewn too near the neckline, so I had to pick out the stitches and sew it by hand, to avoid it rubbing me all through the event- Be ready to use a steam iron for at least three hours to get out the wrinkles- It is "Dry Clean" only- It retains all body odors, even through a dry cleaning cycleThe latter one is a big issue. It smelled fine out of the bag, but after a two and a half hour event in a hot event center and copious amounts of sweating, the synthetic material on the interior of the dress took on a pungent odor. I worried about the smell sticking to the garment, so I doused it in baking soda for a few days until I could get it to the dry cleaners. It made no difference. The dry cleaning didn't get out the smell. The garment still reeks of body odor on one side. So far I've used antibacterial soap and hand-washing, and making a baking soda paste and letting it dry then brushing it off, without it making a difference. I will try other methods (vinegar rinses, freezing, Febreeze, vodka spray, and pet odor be gone) before I just wash it. If it's ruined, well... a garment that stinks every time you wear it is ruined anyway. If so, it wound up about $120 for a "once wear" dress.My advice is to think about where you want to wear this and take into consideration that you won't be easily able to get perspiration smells out of it due to the fabric used in the bodice of the dress. It's a polyester blend for the under-shift and chiffon for the outside layer. Polyester is a real beast to get any smell out of. Cotton is a much better garment to make costumes out of, since it's easily washable and does not retain body odors.

I noticed this item didn't have too many reviews, so here's my two cents:A well-priced replica of Rose's "Swim Dress" from Titanic. I ordered this custom made to my measurements. The length is perfect, but it is a bit too tight. (That's fine, because I'm in the process of losing weight so... hooray!)I ordered this for a Rose cosplay and they made it and got it to me in less than two weeks. Seller was kind and super responsive.I thought the fabric would flow a bit more like the picture, but this dress is made with the bottom white layer like a bridal satin-y material, so it doesn't flow in the wind how I'd like it to... other than that, it works really well for what I need it for! I attached a picture below of me in costume!

I really loved the dress Kate Winslet wore in "Titanic" when the ship was sinking. After having searched the internet to find it, I came out with this fabulous dress, which is the most similar to the one shown in the movie.Although I ordered a 14, the dress needed some arrangements so I gave my own measurements to formaldresses. They offered not only prompt and courteous service, but also they were very caring and concerned (i. e. I failed to give the correct bust measurements and when I told them the right ones, the dress was already made. Despite this fact, they remade it again). The result is as follows: it fits me perfectly and its fabric is of great quality. Please note that this dress is intended to be used in formal events. Furthermore it has a built-in bra as well as an inner linen included.Definetly I am going to wear it for my wedding day!

Seller was super nice and offered to customize the dress after I had selected the default sizes. It is a little snug in my ribs and big in the bust. Had a hard time trying to get it on, but opted to change bras and that somehow did the trick?? The side zipper is tricky as well, so this is where I went and did the pull over you move. Super flowy and actually gives me a waist lol I love that the dress does have padding and boning for a smooth look. I got lots of positive feedback on my Instagram too. Just absolutely in love with this dress. Thanks for working with me!

The seller was responsive via email, and reassured me that they'd expedite the shipping from Asia and get it to the US in time for Halloween. I was skeptical, when the estimated shipping showed a week or two after Halloween, but they kept their word! It arrived with days to spare! I was very impressed. I didn't have time to order a dress with custom measurements, but the measurements listed were very close to my own. I currently have a 40" bust, 36" waist, 42" hip, and I ordered the 16. It was a little big everywhere except my arms. I took it to my MIL who is a seamstress to see if she could alter it, and she was VERY impressed with how well it was made. She couldn't find an exposed seam anywhere. She said to keep track of this seller, they'd be worth ordering from in the future!
