Hi All!

I have been ogling the Dovima for ages, and finally bought the Grey in time for my cousin's wedding this weekend. 

I am larger than the measurements for the 2X by just a bit, but I wanted a tight fit, so I bought the XL. I'm so glad that I didn't get the 2X, because it's really big on me. The neckline and shoulder seem to hang oddly, and it's loose enough that I had the problems of the skirt crawling UP all night - no dancing at a wedding. Yay. :/ (To be fair, I think my shapewear might have supported the crawling.) I know I ordered the XL, but I wonder if I got a mislabeled 2X or something. 

While I was at the wedding, I noticed that it's not closed all the way at the bottom of the zipper. There's a gap large enough to stick fingers through between the zipper and the dress fabric. I compared it to the construction on the Marlene, but the Marlene has no gap at all, and the dress is completely stitched to the zipper.

Just wondering if anyone else had had these issues, and if they are features or bugs.

I have the Black Dovima in a 2X. I'm not sure what to say about your bcos my experience with this dress is totally different. I think maybe you got a flawed dress somehow. I wear a 2x in anym dress that has a straight silhouette/straight bottom half. But if the dress has a full bottom or circle skirt I wear am XL. I was a little worried my Dovima would be big due to the stretch but it is perfect. If I were to get a smaller size it would have looked bad in the back area. 

The sewing on mine is impeccable! the quality is better than any other PUG dress I have. When I first got it I wrote on here that I was so impressed with the level of sewing & tailoring. If I were you I would call customer service & ask for a replacement...maybe in another color. Do tell them the issues you have had. 

Many Smiles, Geo

I don't have this dress, but I can confirm that shapewear is often the cause of clothing "migrating". On the one hand, smooth finished shapewear allows clothing to glide smoothly over it, but on the other hand it can often make more fitted skirts spin right around the waist, sometimes to the point of ending up almost backwards. I wear the smooth finished stuff under one piece dresses, but rougher finished shapewear items (Rago Lacette, for example) under fitted skirts so there is some "tooth" to hold the skirt in place. On the other hand, if your figure is a bit off from what the cut of the item of clothing was meant for and already causes the item to ride up a bit, the rough finish shapewear will help it in its journey, and you might try smooth shapewear so it glides back down easily.

From your photos, it does look like an oops in sewing.

My zipper is nothing like that at all. You must have a defective dress. I'm shocked about the fit bcos my 2x is perfect & I can usually squeeze into an XL. If I had a smaller size it'd show the rolls in my back :( I'd send them pictures & as well as call them. I'm sure they'll replace it. I've shopped with them for over 7 years & have had to send things back & have never had an issue. The have excellent customer service :)

Good Luck!
