Azazie Jaycee MBD Mother of the Bride Dress

Overall I was satisfied with my purchase, Jaycee MBD size A18 and it shipped within 3 solid weeks. I am 5' 3.5" tall, usually wear women's 14W-16W, or regular 18-20; bust is 44 and am 209 lbs. I had a seamstress to hem the dress, nothing else (2 weeks $99). Therefore I strongly suggest that you give yourself 6 weeks for shipping and alterations. I ordered it as a matron of honor dress, and I was pleased with the fit, sleeves included. I had to wear a padded bra with this dress to fill in the cups and still ended up having a little more room, but I don't think you could tell the difference. I wore nothing more than a slimming garment underneath to smooth out lines. I took one star away because the garment bag that comes with the dress was horrible, not at all size appropriate for larger dress size, making access a nightmare. I ended up discarding it and using a old bridal garment bag. This was disappointing given the cost of the dress. Also, the pleats were a challenge to steam out the wrinkles. Not good. Overall, I think you will be satisfied with this dress.

I had my seamstress make a few changes to my dress. I ordered custom so I added a few inches to the sleeves so they were longer-then my seamstress did some tucks at the bottom-narrowing the sleeve and added a rhinestone button to each. I did not like the applique that came on the dress so I had my seamstress remove it and add the one pictured, it looked so nice. I would have given this 5 stars but Azazie did a poor job on the hem-I had to wear flat shoes because it was too short with heels-I did measure correctly-in fact my seamstress said she added 1/2 inch. Other than that this was a beautiful dress and I had many compliments.

This is a beautiful dress. I am not going with it, because I found another that will work better but for a different occasion I would serious think about it.

Thank you for a beautiful dress! I received so many compliments and felt very comfortable wearing the dress. I do have one critique - do not sew the bust pads into the dress. Make them removable. I would recommend your website. My daughter's bridesmaids also ordered from here and every single dress fit so perfectly. The girls were so happy with them. Good work!

Very pretty and elegant. Wasn't the right size for me but I liked the style and color.

loved the color and craftsmanship of the dress. Very well made. fit nicely around the waist but the bodice was long. I buy petite and if it's not, then the shoulder to waist fit is too long. It would depend on the style of dress for me to get one that you would not be able to notice the torso being long on me. Overall, very nice.

I loved this sample dress, it is very elegant. The fit was almost perfect, but the back/bust was too small in size 12. The hips and waist were fine. I plan to custom order it in the color Regency or Stormy, as Mulberry doesn't go with my daughter's wedding colors.

The dress is beautiful and the color is perfect. The dress seems well constructed with built-in support in the bodice. The fit was exactly as expected just like the sample I had ordered. I am excited to wear it. I usually have problems with items being too short, but this dress was still slightly long even with heels on.

This was a great way to be able to shop online and have a bit more confidence in the dress you're buying. It would be nice to have more sample dresses available in more sizes, in the Mother-of-the-Bride category. For a small price I was able to determine that the style was good, and feel confident ordering a custom fit because I was sure I liked the style.

I am thrilled with the dress I received! I ordered custom fit and it is perfect! The flowing sleeves are beautiful. I did remove the shiny embellishment because I am going to use a family brooch instead in that spot. Will definitely order again from Azazie and will refer friends to this excellent site!

We bought this for my sister to wear as Mother of the Bride. VERY beautiful dress! Well made and has structure built in... My sister was very pleased... We needed to hem it up quite a bit as there are not enough tea length dress options and not everyone can manage a floor length dress... that is my only suggestion...make some of these dresses also available as a tea length option...it would help the consumer tremendously. It's going to cost almost as much as the dress did to hem it up 10". And it would cost you nothing to offer it.

I was so skeptical about ordering a dress on line, especially one for my son's wedding. I ordered the custom fit with my measurements since I am so in between sizes.. The dress was perfect!! the color and fit. I was looking for a short dress, so the only alteration was to have it cut off and hemmed. I could not have been happier. I actually was going to look for an off the rack dress for a back up, just in case. no need for that. The bridesmaids dresses (all nine of them !) also ordered their dresses from Azazie and they were perfect! I would not hesitate to recommend Azazie

No need for any alterations, custom size fits perfectly. Put it on for my husband and he said hands down the most beautiful gown I have ever owned (and I think that included my own wedding gown)!

The dress is beautiful and well made. I'm a large plus woman and was really scared I wasn't going to find anything in my size. The way they made it so easy to put in your measurements under custom sizing and how simple it was to follow the directions made it a pleasant experience. When I read that they make every dress individually for each order I felt I had a chance for it to fit. I was still worried while I was waiting for the dress to come, about it fitting right. I was pleasantly surprised it fit perfect and the quality was wonderful. It was lined and the fabric felt awesome. The color matched what I ordered. It was delivered ahead of the deadline and I was able to check on its progress anytime I wanted. I had a great experience and will order from Azazie again. I've already recommended it to a handful of friends. Thank you for helping me have a beautiful dress to wear to my daughter's wedding.

I bought this dress for my son's wedding and I am very, very happy with it. Other reviewers have said that the sleeves were too flowy, but I do not find that to be the case - they are just right. The dress is very well put together and the material is a good quality. It was very wrinkled upon arrival and will need to be steamed and pressed, but overall I am very happy with this purchase and cannot wait to wear it.

size 8 runs small. It didn't fit

When this dress was purchased for grandma (86 years old) to wear at my son's wedding in November, we knew it would need to be shortened because grandma is short 5'1" on a good and and that she uses a walker to get around. It is a very beautiful dress and constructed very well and it well (except for the length). The mulberry color was ordered and it look so lovely with her snow white hair and brown eyes. It is substantial with 3 layers of fabric. That's a sign the dress is not cheaply made and that it was weight to it. It was too heavy for her to maneuver around it so it we decided to return and look for something lighter. I highly recommend his dress as well as Azazie. They have been ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL to work with both in ordering and returning. Azazie will definitely be considered on the next time someone in the family gets married.

Absolutely gorgeous and well made!! Beautiful style and color! I'm glad I have til October to lose some weight though, runs small.

Dress is just as it should be - correct color and size. Very happy - got just what I ordered.
