A Good Low-Cost, Fast Fashion Occasion Dress
For what this dress is, it’s pretty good. It’s not a high-quality designer piece, but if you’re not too picky, you could wear it for a night out and look very nice. It’s mostly polyester, but it has an unusual weave and feel to it like the material was meant to be used for Halloween costumes. The sequin overlay portion is impressive as are the cut and design of the dress–take a look at all of the reviews with photos if you’re not convinced. It’s won’t necessarily give you the most polished look you’ve ever seen, and I’m not sure how it would stand up to multiple uses, but the price point it sells at makes that forgiveable. I’m 5’9″ and 180 lb. with a pear-shaped figure, usually somewhere between a size 12 and 14, and the large fit me quite well when worn with a bra that gives good lift. Ultimately, I ended up not wearing this dress out and changed my clothes at the last minute. I’m more old-fashioned and prefer garments that are well designed, very sturdy and structured, and of a bit higher quality than this dress, so if you’re like me, this isn’t likely to be your favorite thing in the closet.

Fits but ya gotta keep an eye on it
I’m admittedly not used to this kind of dress. From the cut, which looked flattering on every single body type in the reviews, to the color (I never wear blue), to the fabric (a synthetic knit) and sequins, it was sort of a new experience.I think it important to mention that I’m AuDHD and clothes are a bit of a sensory thing for me so if you have that kind of neurodivergent trigger maybe this is useful information.I’m a big gal between size 16 and 18 but most of it is in my belly and boobs. Working on that, but I had to wear a blue dress to a work dinner party and that’s the body I have at the moment so I had to find something that fits it. In several of the photos I saw ladies about my size and the dress looked pretty good on all of them, so I thought I would give it a try.Crossover styles almost never work for people with big chests. This one though, you can zhush the fabric so it does actually stay closed over the chest area but then, I didn’t have to move my arms around or anything crazy. The pieces are attached to the skirt all the way over to the sides which is more than you usually see allowing for better coverage. Thank you, pattern designers, for understanding big boob fashion issues.Then there’s the skirt part, which has a lining that is the same fabric as the top. I had to work at it to get the under layer to lie smoothly, and it kept trying to sneak up. I had to be mindful that it didn’t creep up my legs to my waist. I don’t own any slips anymore since I gained this Covid weight but I am not sure if one would help. I did have a Spank type shapewear thing and the dress looked much better for me having worn that.I’m tall and my monkey arms were just a tad too long for the sleeves, but I think it’s supposed to be a little above the wrist. It looked OK.The overlayer of the skirt is sheer with the sequins. I think it is the interaction of the overlay with the underskirt that makes the underskirt creep up. The overlay is a nice heavy weight and the sequins are very well attached. I am not used to a sequined skirt so I was wary of sitting down. The chairs at the party were wooden folding chairs with slats. I didn’t realize how much I shift around in my chair but apparently I do because I kept feeling the sequins catch on the slats. It didn’t mess the dress up or anything but it was quite noticeable.I didn’t think it was hot but I did notice some BO when I took it off. I had showered and groomed and used deodorant before the party but at least on me, synthetics do tend to pick up odors easier. I sprayed it with Febreeze and let it air out for a few days and the odor went away, but I think if I wear it again I’m going to have to take it to the cleaners.So, people said it looked nice. I was okay with the way it looked. I might wear it again. I’m not mad at it. But if I had tried it on in a store especially if I could have sat down in it I probably would have passed on it, because sitting on sequins is weird.

Very Stylish!!!!
