Review on Modest Sequin Bridesmaid Dresses With Long Sleeves And High Back – Perfect For Prom And Party Wear, By Honey Qiao by Scott Rangel

Ordered thus dress for my husbands Military formal. I needed something semi-sexy but modest since we were going to be interacting with high ranking officials and older men. I wanted to be classy but not look like a mother of the bride. This dress is PERFECT! It’s very shiny but not cheap looking. For size reference, I am 5’5”, 180 pounds, carry weight pretty evening through chest/middles/butt/thighs, 36DD chest (but, mom of 3 boobs…not a voluptuous set of 36DD’s 😂), athletic build through arms and shoulders.The Pro’s:Dress looks just like the pictureShiny and classy without looking cheapHits the floor with 3” heels onSleeves can be work slightly pushed up for a 3/4 lookModest yet sexy silhouetteFully linedThe Con’s:I am a very standard size 12 on top and bottom. I ordered 2 sizes up (a16) with every intention of needing to get the dress altered. But I knew I wouldn’t have time to return and reorder if it was too small. The 16 fit perfectly, with some room for more of a sheath style look, less body hugging. The sizing seems to run about a full size or 2 small. Had I ordered the 12 it would have been too small but a 14 could have worked. I will not be getting the dress altered at all, instead I will stick with the 16 and allow myself to be comfortable throughout the night, to include while I sit and after I eat! Lol!With the sizing being slightly off, it affects the arm length and overall length. Arm length is full long sleeve but only if you keep your arms pretty straight by your side. Bending your arm to hold a beverage or dance will give more of the 3/4 sleeve look. The dress is just past floor length when barefoot. 3” heels put the dress right at the floor. 4” heels made the dress float off the ground. My daughter said both sets of heels looked fine but I opted for the 3”. Really, sizing was the only con. So just know that this particular color seems to run small. I can’t speak for anything except the gold though. I have learned to order large and accept alterations. In this case, the larger size works. I will wear a (REALLY GOOD) body shaper in order to even and smooth everything out, but overall I feel really good in this dress and I feel like it is a dress I can step out in, confidently and comfortably. My husband is wearing his Army dress blues so my goal was to compliment his attire and this dress will do just that!
