Cololura Women's Elegant Sequin One Shoulder Tassel Mermaid Bodycon Cocktail Dress for Evening Party, Prom, Wedding Guest, and Special Occasions

I loved this online, but when I opened the package I was originally disappointed. The sequins looked white in the photos but in person looks almost pink/blue iridescent. I did not want it to look inappropriate for my age! I tried it in anyway, and it looked surprisingly beautiful!!! I have never written a review this long! Ha. Once coupled with the accessories, hair and makeup it was a hit! I received compliments from both men and women all night all ages! I wore it for a Black and White Black Tie event for NYE. Especially, for lighting and sparkly, festive events! I am 5'6" wearing 2.5" heels, and the length was perfect. This photo is a Medium. I am a 34DD and measurements sit approximately 37/30/41 at 168. I am in post-surgery recovery so about 20lbs heavier than normal usually about 148lbs and 36/29/39(meaning a Small at these measurements would fit me). However, I'm quite athletic fit but slightly curvy, so I still wear about 4-6 in Dresses and jeans/pants, Small/Medium Tops and average Medium bottoms. Meaning 20lbs of body fat change which is why I'm being specific. I'm usually a size 2/4 and currently at 4/6. This is a medium. I used a strapless/detachable bra (1 strap on) shape-wear piece, but it wasn't tight that went down to mid thigh. There was no issue zipping the dress. It has some give and stretch. I am sharing details, because it always seems difficult to compare to other women, especially when I know after many years of lifting weights and being active a woman's body at 148-168. Can look very different and then sizing is off. Meaning I'm currently 13-15lbs overweight and 20lbs heavier, and this is me at Medium dress size 4-6. I usually lift weights and do cardio 5-6 days per week. I'm not doing any of this now and a Medium was still appropriate. I LOVE the one arm, design cut in the chest, and the beads over the shoulder. I cannot express how amazing I felt all night! I will wear it again, and I may consider buying another in the future! I added a closeup in dark lighting of the sequins and a closeup of just me for the beaded arm details. I hope this was detailed enough to help others decide. Buy this dress! You won't regret it!
