Sequin Lace & Chiffon Gown

The gown is truly beautiful and I was very excited taking it out of the package. Once on, however, it was too clingy, showing every bump on my torso. There is a good degree of stretch in the fabric which is why it clings... or rather stretches around you. I can see this gown being perfect for someone who has a perfect physique, but that is not me. It is with regret that I am returning it.

I had a difficult time finding a dress suitable for my size. I am short. This dress fit perfectly. I had looked at hundreds only to discover they were not available in petite. I am 5'3" and weigh about 115 pounds. I ordered a 6 Petite. The dress is lovely and the color I need for my daughter's wedding.

After ordering online and receiving the wrong dress, the dress I had ordered was soon received. I had wondered about the size, but had followed the measurements guidelines to order the 8. I later also ordered it in a smaller size. I liked the dress very much, returned the larger dress, but will wear the size 6 petite to my son's wedding.

As a 60+ year old mother-of-the-groom, I prefer modesty, elegance and comfort in a dress. This dress ticked all those boxes. The skirt is very smooth and somewhat revealing if worn without proper shapewear. If you are 5-feet, 3-inches tall, have (or had!) an hourglass figure, and weigh about 150 pounds, this dress will be beautiful and comfortable for your special event.
