The rich colors and beautiful

"The rich colors and beautiful sheen of the fabric make this an amazing transitional dress for autumn. I’m planning to style it with pearl earrings , necklace and bracelets along with a chocolate clutch and chocolate shoes. I’m so excited to wear invite!"

Love the dress except for 1 thing

"I love my dress. My favorite thing about it are the bows on the back. It fit fine- it was actually roomy and I loved having pockets. I wore it for an evening wedding with dancing. I received so many compliments. I gave it a 5 star BUT have one complaint. The bottom bow repeatedly came unsnapped - even if I just barely moved an arm. Believe me it was not too small. This was very annoying and I had to have someone "resnap" me over and over" Perhaps it's a "one-off" It won't keep me from wearing it again but I'll have to take it to a seamstress to see if something can be done about it."

Heirloom Floral Diplomat Dress

"I originally purchased the Diplomat dress in gold, and it was so comfortable, and I received so many compliments, that I decided to buy another. This brown color caught my eye because it’s so unique. I love the pink floral pattern, and the bows along the back. It can be worn during any season, and I tried it with pink shoes and brown shoes, and love it with both."

Abstract Meadow Diplomat Dress

Great dress , reminds me of Jackie Kennedy …

"Unfortunately I’m not able to wear the dress , it’s 2 sizes too big and can’t be altered . I guess I learned a lesson to not purchase a sale item for important occasion…. . I’m sad because I love the dress . I’m the perfect xl and I ordered xl ."

Diplomat

"I love this look. I am a little shorter than model so it’s not a mini on me—which I appreciate. It’s a Jackie -O look and with a little tease in the hair I may can achieve that stylish look."

I love this dress! The

"I love this dress! The pink is a fabulous color for my silver hair. AND -who doesn’t love a dress with bows and pockets!"

Stunning dress

"What a stunning dress. Perfect fit and top quality. Turned right around and bought another one. Roomy but not too big."

— Pamela M. (5/5)

Run excessively big

"This was my first time ordering from Frances Valentine, I absolutely love the dress but it runs sooooo big. I wear a 3xl, this runs more like a 5xl-6xl. I did contact customer service for an exchange but the 1xl that I would exchange it for is out of stock so I will keep the dress and get it altered, that’s how much I want this dress, I will probably pay just as much for alterations as I paid for the dress but now I know about sizing down going forward! Excellent customer service! But great for plus size girls that need bigger than 3xl!"
