Andree5/5
The dress was absolutely beautiful and arrived right on time. I had let the seller know that I needed it quickly because I was traveling, and they were incredibly accommodating. Their excellent communication and prompt shipping made the whole experience stress-free.
I received so many compliments when I wore the dress! I'm extremely happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend this seller.
Nancy5/5Verified
The colors are not nearly as bright and vibrant as they appear in these photos, which was massively disappointing. The dress is much longer than pictured as well.
Meagan1/5
I would give 5 Stars, yet because the top portion of the dress in the bust area is so tight I cannot. However I love the style and vibrant color of the dress.
Nesha3/5Verified
My dress is perfect and arrived on time! I definitely recommend if you are in the market for beautiful African dresses
Michelle5/5Verified
Dress does not fit like the picture suggests. It’s a little more bulky than expected. The quality is not as great as I thought it would be and there is no lining in the dress. I’m not very excited about owning this product.
Latreetsa2/5Verified
I absolutely love the dress! It looked great from all angles. Based on reviews saying it was too small around the chest, I sized up. This worked out great. They include a matching sash/belt so you can cinch your waist. Great buy
Jasmine5/5Verified
Lovely dress! I originally ordered a 2x which was larger than a 1x that I would usually order. The bust was way too small. I did an exchange which was super easy (just had to pay my shipping) and they quickly sent me a 3x which fit perfectly. I was originally nervous because the 2x bust was so small that I was certain a 3x wouldn't work but it did. For context, I usually wear a size 16 with a 38D bust. It is such a unique dress and the quality is worth the cost. Do I have someplace to wear it yet? No. But, I am ready for when the time comes!
Shatina5/5Verified
awesome quality
Anzonia5/5Verified
I absolutely loved this dress. It just didn't match my vision when I put it on. I have large breast and the top was too tight; hence, it did not look good on me.
Kimberly1/5Verified
This dress is STUNNING! The purple and orange is a color combo I love but the black on top the cherry on top. Wore it for my dissertation defense and had people complimenting me the whole day! Couldn't stop myself from spinning!
Admittedly, the dress underneath is pretty short. I'm 5'3, small bust, and usually wear a SM or M. Small fit just right. If my legs were longer it could have been a little risque
Cece5/5
I really like this dress it’s beautiful. I do agree with some of the other reviewers with saying that the bust area is tight. All of the dress fits well except for near the bust area so just be mindful of that I’m going to keep the dress because I like it so much but there will need to be some alterations done in the breast area. It’s just too small.
Alethia4/5Verified
Dress is really well made and looks like the pictures - but I wish it had pockets and a bigger bust allowance
Carol3/5Verified
Overall I like the dress but the bust area was too big for me in a 2x and they don't have a size down, that said, I have found the bust fit of other items at Mae Otti a bit tricky if you are well endowed.
Suad4/5Verified
I got so many compliments wearing this to the NAACP Image Awards fashion show. The orange and purple combination was perfect for me. Those are my colors! The sheer strip on the skirt was a unique and unexpected added twist with the Afrocentric design, which took others by surprise. Subtle, sexy, and fun!
Dawn5/5Verified
Dress is cute and colors look awesome in person! Other reviews are accurate about the bust being a bit tight, but that was to be expected. Only disappointment is that the listing says there are pockets, but there definitely is not.
Britt3/5
I absolutely love this dress! I receive so many compliments❤️❤️❤️
Essence5/5Verified
Mae Otti lost my package for a $300 order. I reached out to the carrier, their team, multiple times with no support. Moreover the customer support at Mae Otti was horrible, the agent who emailed me (many times) was rude, unhelpful and combative. No one should lose time or their life here.
Comfort1/5Verified
The dress was small which is fine. Customer service and returns were incredibly unresponsive and unhelpful by email. You must call to get a response. Even if you initiate through email to seek help to make a return, if they don't respond back within 10 business days (which they did not), you will not get your money back. Good luck.
Jil1/5
I absolutely LOVE 💕 this dress! I needed an African print dress for an event next week and no time for alterations. It arrived in like 3 days. I ordered this and different print a size down. I love both but this one fit better since I’m very top heavy. I got this in an XL. For reference I am 5’0, 165 lbs, 34JJ sized bra (small band/large cups) so it’s rare anything with buttons fits correctly without alterations. Perfect fit on top!!! It is a bit big on my body but I tightly tied the belt on backwards and it’s adorable 🥰.
C5/5
Love this dress very beautiful!!!
Essence5/5
This is a beautiful dress and very well made.
Sharon5/5Verified
I bought this to wear on stage. Perfect fit. Well made. 100% gorgeous and the skirt really flares out. For fit measurements, I’m 5’8”, 125lbs, tiny tits, fat ass.
Claire5/5
Absolutely adore this dress!! Great quality and material!!
Nikkitris5/5Verified
At first, I thought the underlay could possibly be too short, but it is perfect for my height, love the dress!
Cassandra5/5Verified
All 3 dresses that I've received was of excellent quality package nicely were a great fit!! I cannot wait to wear them to a few special events I have coming up.

Wanda1/5Verified
Quality is impeccable and fits perfectly. I can’t wait to wear it. You always roll the dice when you order online for the first time from a retailer. Overall my experience was better than expected and will be a repeat customer.
Imani E S5/5Verified
I loved this dress but had to return. I bought the 3x even though my bust is a 55 in. and beyond the measurements. Sadly, it was too tight. It was really cute on, but too uncomfortable to consider keeping. Would love to see a larger size or more options for a larger bust.
Arielle5/5Verified
I have it for a special occasion. I love the material .
Wanda5/5Verified
I LOVE the dress. It is feminine, fun and flirty. I look forward to wearing it to my next dance event. I hope a dress of the same style with a collar or different neckline will be on the horizon.
Cheryl5/5Verified
10/10 that’s all i can say! Happy with my order
