GRACE KARIN Women's Sequin Sparkly Party Dress Cocktail Bodycon Glitter Dresses Long Sleeve

This dress was a hit! We attended an event to support autism and had to wear blue. This dress was great quality, elegant, and not overstated! Can't wait to wear it again!!

Very elegantw & fits lovely

beautiful dress. runs a little big, especially in the chest area. Material on the top by the sleeves got fuzz balls after one wear.

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.

Perfect fit and everything I was expecting.

Fit perfect

Dress was a gift and it fit great and my mom looked wonderful in it.

Very pretty dress stretchy bottom with slip fits nicely. Did not like the puffy sleeves, had a tailor take the cuff off and make the sleeve fitted. Made a huge difference. Looks like an expensive dress. It will cost as much as the dress.. wore to a wedding many compliments. 120lbs sz sm
