Ruched Long Sleeve Velvet Body-Con Dress

Eliza J has yet to disappoint me, so bear that in mind with my review. I’m 5’8, 130 lbs and got a size 4, which is what I always wear. I could have sized down to get the true “body-con” fit, but I wouldn’t dare. This fits like a body-con that is also body conscious and flattering. Like another person said- the neckline isn’t too low and it isn’t short waisted. I’m a 36 yr old mom, so I’m in an awkward clothing style season. This dress is perfect for feeling classy and feminine, but also modestly sexy if that makes sense. The color and velvet makes it a perfect Christmas dress, but probably wouldn’t wear other times of year.

I wore this to a Christmas party and it was so comfortable and beautiful! It has bra strap holders; which is so nice since the sleeves are slightly off the shoulder. Would definitely recommend!

This dress is perfect. The neckline is not too low and it is not short waisted. It fits perfectly in my usual Eliza J size. The velvet is soft and a beautiful color. A must have for Christmas.

Bought this dress for an April wedding that is expected to be outdoors. Would look great for a colder weather wedding or for a holiday party. I'm usually a size 2 or 4, purchased a 4 and it's very slightly big around the top.

Loved the dress immediately. I ended up getting a size larger than normal since it is velvet and yes, my size was not available. Other material I would have ordered my regular size 12. It's velvet, so slightly heavier and warmer, perfect for the holidays. To fine tune it, I called the Nordstrom tailor to have the sleeves shortened and take about an inch out on the shoulders. This are normal modifications for me, so the dress is cut the way it is supposed to be. I am going to wear it for a holiday gala in a couple of weeks with gold accents.

Very pretty, well made and I like the fabric. Excellent value. I'm a size smaller on top than around the hip so I ordered the size to fit my bust. That worked out ok as the fabric has quite a bit of give. The top of the dress fits perfectly but the bottom is a little more body con that I like so I'm not sure I'll keep it. Another half inch on the hip and it would have been perfect.

Conservative red/ burgundy colored velour holiday dress that is quite forgiving with enough ruching around midsection. I was looking for something for a holiday dinner at a friend and just felt it was a little boring for my taste but it may work for a holiday work party.

5’tall, 110 lbs Size small and fits perfectly well! Gorgeous color, too

Hugs you in all the right places and slims your waist! Very comfortable material. I am 5'3 and it comes to my knees.

Loved the green color! Perfect for a winter wedding. Fit great and very flattering

I'm not much of a party person anymore, but my husband's company throws a pretty fancy holiday one at the Air and Space Museum at the Udvar-Hazy center here in Northern Va. Lots of glam, so I will say I felt a little Plain Jane but I was happy with my choice since the large airplane museum was pretty drafty and the long sleeves and comfy material kept me warmer than I would be in a slip dress. There was plenty of "velvet" so the dress is trend on. It is fitted without being uncomfortable; and I was able to slide into it without unzipping. Also, the dress is not so memorable so it will be fine for other events, and I'm happy about that. The only thing is that this was shipped to my pick up store from another store; it was still in the box, so it wrinkled to the max and you have very few options for laundering and drying so I took to my local dry cleaner to "steam" it and it came out great. $13 for that little feat, though. The other thing I really like about it is although it's a deep V in front and back, the material is clingy so it doesn't slip off your shoulder. I wore with my usual Natori slightly plunge bra and it was perfect. Highly recommend.

Beautiful dress! I need a dress for a holiday time wedding. Wanted something that would be fitting for Christmas time wedding and this was it. Has some stretch in it and covers all areas! The velvet is soft and so comfortable. I love the color and can’t wait to wear it.
