Hailey by Adrianna Papell One-Shoulder Jersey GownI love this dress so much. I am usually a size 8 (37-29-40), 5'3", athletic build, 36C bra cup. Sometimes I wear a 6. I ordered this in both colors, the blue in 8 and the red in a 6. Both colors are phenomenal. The red is a deeper red in person, not so cherry, still amazing though. The blue is a true royal blue, my favorite color. I didn't even try it on because the 6 fit so well. Another reviewer with similar measurements to mine liked the way the bottom of the 8 fit better. If you have the ability to order your size and one size down, you may want to. The top is the part that runs a little large. The draping is meant to really accentuate the fabric, and I can see how some people wouldn't like the way it looks. It's a nice supple jersey, not real shiny, but not cottony or matte. I hesitate to say it could be dressed down because I don't think it's that kind of dress, but maybe someone else could swing it. I bought it for a formal dance, and it will be perfect. I am short, and with 4" strappy silver sandals, it's nearly perfect. Not as long as some reviewers have said. May get one inch taken off. I cannot say enough good things about this dress. If you're hesitant, just order it. Nordstrom has a great return policy. You won't regret it. Last thing, I bought this with the Hanky Panky retro thong (high-waisted thong) in chai. I don't have a lot of excess weight in my mid-section, but this thong smooths out anything I might want to hide and allows the jersey fabric to float over my body much better. "VERY Comfortable. ... Purchased it for portraits, wore it all night... could have wore it even longer.<\/span><\/div> yes, it is a little big... (I'm between a 6 and 8... on the bottom half... got a 6 and it fit perfect in the bottom half)... Had to have it taken in on the bust (normally about a 2 or 4 on top...) and had to have about 9 inches off the bottom (again, normal for me ... only about a 27" inseam.) I need to find something to do to wear it to now!"

Hailey by Adrianna Papell One-Shoulder Jersey Gown Reviews"Ordered this for my 18 year old daughter to wear to a wedding. She looks absolutely lovely - the fabric is so glamorous and the fit is very attractive but not flashy. Honestly, looks like a 2500 designer dress. Couldn't be happier!" |
