Betsy & Adam Petite Ruched Embellished Gown

i really liked the ruching and the built in bra

Very attractive and flattering. Fits true to size. Size 4 petite

I purchased this dress for a formal event for Sat, Aug 8th. Picked up the dress from Macy’s in Snellville Thursday evening Aug 6. Removed the dress from the box and from the plastic covering and immediately smelled an odor. Noticed perspiration stains and odor around the arm sleeves indicating dress was either previously worn and returned, or tried on by a previous customer who left offensive perspiration stains. Returned dress to Macy’s Aug 8 and explained reasons to sale clerk. Sales clerk processed return without asking any questions or even examining the dress. I am concerned the dress will be sold to another unsuspecting customer as “new” despite the obvious perspiration stains and odor.

I ordered this for a spring wedding where the attire will be cocktail. I really wanted a midi or tea length dress but hoped I could have this maxi length shortened. I think the ruffle may present a problem though. I liked the price, the color, the neckline, and the elegant and understated embellishment. I didn’t like the ruching. It fit snugger than I prefer and the rear ruching just cheapens it, in my opinion. I returned the dress. Does anyone else get discouraged trying to find a wedding guest dress that is midi or knee length, is elegant and understated while still having a bit of “Wow!” And of course figure flattering for mature women’s bodies!

Petite length is perfect. Paired it with a 3 inch heel. Got many compliments. Perfect fit all the way around. The size and guide help a lot since this particular dress is not sold in stores.

Very comfortable and elegant. Not a lot going on so it works well if you're going to a formal/semiformal wedding and don't want to stick out too much. The ruffle and little sparkly piece at the neck are cute - probably needs some nice drop earrings/bracelets to accent it.

The dress either runs small or is sized wrong. It was too tight even with shape wear.

My favorite perfect fit color materials and fair price

This dress exceeded my expectations. The moment I put it on, I could tell it was something special. The fabric feels rich and high-quality, not thin or cheap, and it drapes beautifully on the body. The ruching is perfectly placed—it smooths and flatters the midsection while enhancing your shape in a very elegant way. What I love most is how confident it makes you feel. It looks polished, feminine, and effortlessly chic without trying too hard. The color is exactly as shown, and in person it has a refined, almost “designer” look. Sizing is spot on, and it’s comfortable enough to wear for hours without adjusting or feeling restricted. If you want a dress that turns heads and makes you feel confident the second you walk in, this is it. I would 100% recommend it.

Love the color and fit of this dress. The built in bra cups were a little large for the size of the dress.
