J Kara Women's Elegant Cap Sleeve Long Beaded Dress for Evening Party, Wedding Guest, Prom & Special Occasions

Beadwork is beautiful. Overall the gown is gorgeous and very well made. Worth every penny and more! The blue was not available in 8P, so I bought the 8. That was a mistake. The 8 is about 2 .5 in. longer from the shoulders to the waist. I know this because I bought the black in 8P and measured it to the blue. This makes sense, since a petite size will accommodate a shorter frame. As I said with the black dress review, I am about 5ft. 2 in. tall. Measurements are 35, 31, 38, about 117 lbs. Being older, I have a little stomach, that will not be gone before my son's wedding. I never know what size to buy. This is why I am giving you my measurements. Surprised, but I will still have to hem the petite gown, but the dress fits in the body. Don't be afraid to buy and return. Amazon makes it easy. I was afraid, as I never bought anything expensive on line before. Just take very good care of the purchase.
