Review on 1920S Gatsby Dress For Women: Sequined Art Deco Flapper Dress With Fringed Sleeves By Metme by Gregory Popo

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very elegant and classy!

I originally bought this dress in a medium, but found it a bit too tight and clingy for my taste in this style of dress. For reference I am 5'5", 130# with a pretty average build. Not as streamlined as I was 20-30 years ago, though, so if you're the same stats but in whip-shape, or you DO prefer fits-like-glove, then I'd say this fits true to size and you're safe going that route. I re-ordered it in a large, and am extremely pleased. The hang is more flapper-straight and gives me more wiggle room, but it does *not* bunch in the back - a problem I have had sizing up with other dresses of this style - nor look baggy. With the extra "breathing space" it feels like I could dance all night in this without suddenly overheating as if I am wearing a thermal sheath (another consideration I have to make these days), yet it still curves nicely and is very flattering.This is a perfect 20's costume dress, but classy enough I do think it can be accessorized for a more contemporary cocktail/holiday party or dress-up dinner. The bling makes it a bit delicate, yet is has the solid feel of a much more expensive garment. I am hoping with careful hand washing and flat/hang drying, it will last through many enjoyable wearings. Shiny enough for any shindig, and for the price definitely five stars!

Pros
  • Perfect fit. Ordered 2xl
Cons
  • May not be suitable for all body types
