Alex Evenings Women's Short Three Quarter Sleeve Velvet Dress (Petite & Regular) - Elegant Holiday Party & Cocktail Attire for Christmas, New Year & Special Occasions

This dress was quality! Beautifully made. Stretchy and classy. Unfortunately, my husband said it "made me look thick" lol. And quite honestly, it did, so I appreciated the honesty--though brutal as it was. I bought it to wear for my son's fall wedding and ended up returning it. While I appreciated that my "lumps and bumps" were rather well covered in this dress, it just couldn't hide the truth. I have a stocky midsection. What? A dress that wasn't a miracle worker?! I know. Sadness. For reference, I'm 5'5" and probably about 175 give or take pounds. I ordered a size 14 and the size was perfect.I loved the jeweled accents on the dress. The gathering and waist details hid a multitude of ... well, let’s just say jigglies. Flattering fit (5’ 4”, 135 lb, DD bust, size 12). Quite comfortable to boot.Very well made and comfortable evening dress. I wore it to a wedding and received several compliments.Wore this New Year's Eve; Beautiful, rich green color and very comfotableWorth every $$$. This a great dress and nice and warm too.Had to take in behind the shoulders but that is always the case for me. Love this dress and bought it in two colors!I bought this for my wife for a themed party. She loved it and it looked amazing on her.It was amazing and beautiful to wear. Very comfortable and soft.
