Review on GRAPENT Womens Sleeves Evening Champagne Women's Clothing by Crystal Palmer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Pear-shaped dream dress for women! Love it!

Okay, plus size ladies, but more importantly, PEAR ladies! If I were rich, I would launch a clothing line just for pear-shaped women. It's VERY hard to find clothes that fit. If they fit my very large hips I swim on top and vice versa. If the top fits, I can't even pull the bottom over my hips! Anyway, I am a young 63 year old. I wear a size 3X and read some reviews that warned against buying a size up from your usual size so I didn't. I bought a size 22 and was sure it wouldn't fit. I was very wrong. The bodice fit me like a dream, the waist was a perfect fit and the skirt was more than enough fabric that draped well without looking bulky. My husband took the double shot and loved it. I feel amazing in this dress and I have 3 weddings coming up so I will wear it to at least one and keep it in my closet for a special occasion. Please note that every photo review of this dress showed lighter colored sequins, but I chose the black sequin skirt as I think it would go better with a black top. I feel like I made the right choice for my style. It's very elegant, classy, and sexy, and as another reviewer mentioned, that front doesn't gape and has perfect coverage with just the right amount of cleavage. The 3/4 sleeves cover my shoulders and give me confidence. Someone else commented that the dress feels cheap and "rustles too loudly" (were they at church?), but I disagree. It's well built and durable for its price. I love this dress and am hoping to keep it in stock for a while as I am losing weight and will eventually need a size smaller. FYI, I've shopped at Nordstrom and Macy's and found NOTHING. Came home depressed and received this dress from Revain two days later. Can't beat it! I will post pics once I put it on to go out!
