Faux Pearl One-Shoulder Tulle Cocktail Dress

According to the size guide, I should have been between a Size 2/4 (I’m 5’1” at 130 lbs and 28 waist). I couldn’t even get the dress zipped beyond my waist. Everything was far too tight in the chest and rib cage. However, once I exchanged this for a Size 6, there wasn’t any issue. It fit like a glove and I received so many compliments. The pearls are a nice addition, and the sheer fabric gathered at the top is really romantic. I really enjoyed wearing this dress.

This is a charming cocktail dress. The skirt is fun, flirty and full. The built in corset fits smaller bustlines well. I usually wear a size 2-4, but a size 8 was what I purchased (I am 5'3, 126 lbs. and a 32DD). Several other customers were trying this dress on at the same time and everyone seemed to rave about it at check out! I doubt it will stay in stock long (and it seemed to have just reached market in early November). Definitely a fun alternative to the standard LBD.

I read other reviews before buying this dress so I intentionally sized up one size. That said, the bigger size BARELY zips. If you’re busty you will likely need to go up two sizes. That said, I love the look of the dress and really like that it has built in bra cups so you don’t need a convertible bra under it.
