I actually purchased 3 dresses for a Bridgerton Ball I am going to and I am wearing this costume and returning the other 2, I felt this one looked better on me than the others. What I am disappointed in is the quality of the under dress, pink. Most of it doesn't show but wouldn't you know the hem line that shows in the front is picked/messed up a bit. I would return it and get a replacement but I don't have time. For what I paid I would have expected a little better quality especially for the area that shows.I bought this to go to the Bridgerton experience with my daughter. It was lots of fun love the dress. I added some more bling to the belt and the sleeves.I was very excited to receive the Kate Dress. I ordered an 2x based on my measurements. When the package arrived, it came with all the items (light purple dress, dark velvet overlay, light purple gloves and light purple band/belt). However, I discovered that the dress that was packaged was an Xl and didn't fit. There wasn't enough time to return the dress and reorder a new one in time for the Bridgerton Experience Queen's Ball.I created a work around with the XL dress that could do up with my limited sewing skills. I sewed in a bra strap to the zipper to do up, since the zipper in the back wouldn't work (being a size too small) and wore the purple velvet overlay the whole time. The purple velvet overlay covered the short comings of the dress.Having said the above, the band/belt was too small to fit around my chest too, so I wore it in my hair as a hair band/accessory.The nice thing about both the dress and the overlay were that they were very long. This is a benefit as the dress can be tailored or sewed to the desired length with shoes.I think if all the pieces were the correct size, the dress would have worked well, with the option for both the overlay or without it.
