PrettyGuide Women 's 1920s Black Sequin Gatsby Maxi Long Evening Prom Dress

I bought this dress for my mom to wear as a SURPRISE for their 50th Wedding Anniversary! Her and I are about the same size, I'm 150 lbs, and I'm 5 ft tall, 36DD. I ordered the medium and the large just to make sure to get the right size. The medium fit well, but the arms on the sleeves were just a tiny bit tight and would work if you like it to fit more to your body. My mom hates anything tight on her arms or her tummy, so the Large is what i went with to give a little bit looser fit. She is all of 4'10 though so I had to have it hemmed to fit her. The other reviews are correct about the bottom material on the dress being a little see through but a slip would work, but since I had to have the hem altered I just had the tailor add some material to the bottom. She thought it was a $200-300 dress and was flabbergasted when I told her I got it on Amazon for such a good price! She said she was very confidant and comfortable in it and loved the fit. The sparkle on this dress just can't be justified with pictures, in person it looks amazing and my mom looked absolutely beautiful in it!! So happy with this purchase!

I purchased this dress with pretty low expectations, because I am wearing it to a Harry Potter themed charity event and I wanted something Slytherin colors. I put it on my wishlist and looked at a few other affordable dresses, but I was also going to peruse some thrift store options. Then, this dress came up as a lightning deal for $10 less than it's already affordable price, and for less than $40, I figured that was nearly thrift store prices already for a formal gown so I'd better pull the trigger.When the dress arrived, it looked a little big but it was just because of the straight, 1920s style of the sparkly overlay part (so, just note that there is no waist sewn into to the shape of the dress, but rather more draped across the waist). When I tried it on, my hips provided the shape that you see in the picture, and the fit was perfect--not tight at all, but a size down would probably be snug, and it flows just as it should.This dress looks way fancier than the price---like prom, wedding, etc, worthy. I only wish I had prime back in HS so I wouldn't have spent $300+ on gowns for events. I will absolutely look for more from this company for any formal events I have, and the good news is if I lend this dress out I won't be worried about it holding up, etc, bc it was so inexpensive. I have spent more on dresses not at nice, for sure. Even consignment costs more!

I ordered two of these dresses, one in green size 10/12 and one in blue size 6/8 since so many reviews say it runs large. This dress definitely runs LARGE. I'd love to give this beautiful dress 5 stars since it is feels well-made and is quite flattering on a curvy figure, but I docked it a star for a few reasons. For reference, I'm 5'8" 200lbs and my measurements are 40-34-44.Green size 10/12 - this seems to fit more like a standard US size 14 in my experience. It easily slid over my head without having to touch the zipper (which is probably a good thing as the zipper seems a bit flimsy) and there is extra material that bunches up at the sides and in the back unless I keep pulling it down to smooth it out. The green color is gorgeous though, and my pictures don't really do it justice. The length is good for me, it falls just past my ankles in bare feet. With heels it might feel a bit short, but fortunately I don't like to wear heels.Blue size 6/8 - this seems to fit like a standard US size 10. I also didn't need to use the zipper to pull this over my head. The fit is much better for me, although I was very disappointed with the color. I thought I'd accidentally received a black dress when I first opened it, but it is in fact a very dark navy blue. The pictures on Amazon had me expecting a more vibrant blue for some reason. The length is about a half inch shorter than the 10/12 size.All in all it's still a beautiful dress, and I'm a bit torn on which one to return. I may keep both! No discount or freebies received here, I pay full price for my stuff. Hope this was helpful!

This is the second dress I bought - in 2019 I bought the bergundy with black for a Christmas 'black tie optional' event. It fit wonderfully and looked great. I am 5'7" 190# with a decent waist, average hips- I fit a 14/16 really comfortably. I can pinch an inch of fabric on each side of my waist, but the stretch pulls it in nicely against my shape. I am a 38C and the chest is fit, but comfortable. The gown touches the floor in bare feet - about an inch rests on the floor. With my 3" heels, it is perfect. Beware that the end of the beaded bodice is just one layer of thin beading that will pull/snap at the seam (maye a quarter of an inceh) if you are not careful - lift it gently over your behind and it will stay put. If you do pull this a bit, it is easily stitched together without loss of beads.It is glamorous, it is beautiful and you cannot help but to feel wonderful in this dress. For a bigger person (not the model size 6), this is a true find.

I absolutely love this dress and I got so many compliments. I wear a size 6 and the 6/8 fit me perfectly! It is so comfortable to wear. The only thing I didn’t like was that the stock photos made the sequins to look like a gunmetal color but they were all pink. I don’t mind though, I still love it!!
