I go to a military ball every year and I usually buy from a department store.  Those dresses range from $150-$300. I had recently moved to a smaller town that did not have the selection I'm used to and I was starting to run out of time.  It's also not prom season yet so the stores were very limited in selection.  I had been looking at this dress for a while and because of the other positive reviews, decided to give it a try. I was conservative and ordered a 1x because I'm normally a misses 8-10 but using the sizing guide, it showed 1x.

I ordered on a Tuesday, received it on Saturday!  It was even more beautiful than I expected and very well made.  It is fully lined. I didn't have any trouble with the zipper getting caught in the reusching. But it was a little big. So, the following Tuesday I packed it back up and returned with the enclosed instructions for a smaller size. I received the exchange in less than a week and they didn't ask for any additional shipping costs! The smaller size (L) fit perfectly, only had to have it hemmed. I thought it was a nice touch that they included a coordinated chiffon shawl.

This dress is just as nice as my more expensive ones and for much less! I will shop PacificPlex before departments stores in the future!
