Review on Alex Evenings Shoulder Regular Glitter Women's Clothing by Jennifer Johnson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A stunning dress that will make you look and feel great without spending a fortune

I ordered this dress for my daughter's wedding. Fashion. I prefer to dress comfortably, so choosing a formal dress for such an important occasion was stressful. I've lost count of the number of dresses I've actually tried on before and after purchasing this dress. When I received it I thought it was beautiful and really got the look I was hoping for. It was also a lot lighter than most of the other options I tried. In my search, I found that many beads, rhinestones, sequins, etc. are very heavy, not to mention that they are quite chafing on contact with the exposed skin on the hands. There were a few issues with this dress so I kept looking even after I bought it. I just couldn't find anything that had as many elements as the for. Cons: The fabric on the sleeves needed to be a bit looser. Not sure if that wouldn't be an issue for thinner ladies but I was a little frustrated that raising my arms lifted the lower sleeves and since the fabric has a hint of stretch they seemed to compress a bit and instead of loosening up, stay there and lean on my arm as shown in the photo. The back zipper didn't open. It bent. I ordered the dress a size up to overcome this but found it stayed the same. I was able to wear the dress by slipping it over my head (without undoing it) so clearly it wasn't a size limit. I find that the fabric may be too light to pull and hold flat. I considered adding some bones to fix this, but didn't get around to it before the big day came. Pros: Lightweight fabric - very comfortable to wear. Very flattering to the figure - very feminine fabric with sequins that sparkle just by trying on this dress, I wouldn't consider it a 'cheat'. This gives this dress an unmissable WOW factor. You will look like you are wearing a designer dress at a very affordable price. I would definitely recommend this.
