Adrianna Papell Womens Halter Blouson Beaded Gown

As some of the reviews have said, beads fall off. It arrived with about 3 inches of beads missing. However since I was wearing it to a wedding sooner than later and this dress fit amazing on, I decided I could use the package of beads (yes numerous beads) that came shipped with the dress and do a little diy myself. I did not pay full price for the dress, it was 2/3 the original price, so doing a little repair was fine by me. I can sew a little, I am NOT a seamstress by any stretch of the imagination. My diy on the beads turned out great. The waist measures exactly as defined. Beware if you have larger than average hips or bum. This dress was snug in that area on me. If you are even 1/2 inch larger than the measure for waist, size up. It is slim fit arm holes, slim fit waist, hips and upper thighs. If you are average bust, or small bust you are golden. That said I imagine if you are more well endowed that the top might be a bit snug as well. I am average build and height, more natural pear than anything. This dress is made with thousands of beautiful beads. Lots and lots and lots of beads. The beads make it heavier than most other dresses I own. I have had two beaded dresses in recent years, both have been noticeably heavy. Not bad, just aware kind of thing. The good is that the wind did its best to lift the dress and the dress ignored the wind. This dress has two layers of fabric. One under the fabrics with beads. This is good as it means the skin under is protected by a nice feeling fabrics away from beads. This also means, I would personally not wear this dress to a 100 degree outside wearing for any length of time, unless I was okay sweating a few pounds. Seriously while it is sleeveless…. It is not a summer dress. I received numerous compliments. I ordered the pink dress, and the pink is a soft light pink…hard to describe the shade of pink. The beads are a mix of pink, rose, silverish colors, and from afar can change the appearance of the color of dress. When I looked at pictures online I had a hard time deciding if I should wear silver, pink/rose gold or yellow gold jewelry. Answer: any. In my opinion the dress works well with any color of jewelry. You do not need a necklace, as the neckline is high. It would work with stud earrings or dangle earrings. I have short hair and did not have any issues with my hair getting caught in the beads. I can see how long hair or a hairdo with hanging hair might catch on the beads. I will say I did notice the beads on my bum when I sat in a hard chair, but less noticed when I sat in a soft chair. Wearing the dress for a few hours was comfortable. I personally do not think I would want to wear this for a long car ride to an event, or for several hours if I had to sit the whole time (for example a musical/play or ballet). I wore it to a wearing and only sat during the vows and was sitting only a little, then standing or dancing the rest of the night. The dress was perfect for me for that occasion.

Beautiful quality and stunning beading! The Adrianna Papell halter blouson dress looks even prettier in person, but it definitely runs big. The fabric drapes nicely and feels high-end. I’d recommend sizing down for the best fit, especially if you’re between sizes. Overall, it’s elegant and perfect for special events.

This dress is beautiful! It is great quality for the price. It fits true to size and is comfortable to wear. It is very long so it may need to be hemmed.

I wore this dress to my daughter’s wedding. It is absolutely beautiful and it was very comfortable. I got so many compliments. It was the perfect length and fit. It was more than I initially wanted to spend, but it was worth it.

Okay this dress is gorgeous. I felt so good in it. It’s so stinking pretty and flattering where do I begin. The neck line is so pretty and so flattering especially for larger busted ladies. There is an opening in the back too that’s just a little peak but not too much. For a beaded dress you would think it would be super heavy or scratchy and it is neither. It’s actually really comfortable and seems impossible to wrinkle. I’ve seen some reviews say beads fall off but honestly when you get a dress like this you kind of expect that to happen on the high traffic areas unless you stand still all night. It is true to size. I got a size 12 and it was so flattering. I just had a baby so am self conscious of the pooch area and let me tell you it hides it. I don’t know how but I felt like I did pre baby in this dress. The photo also makes the beading look like bright silver but it’s actually more of a gunmetal color so it’s more subtle which I preferred. LOVE this dress. So pretty. You will turn heads!!!

I got numerous compliments on this dress. I had to have about 6” cut off and under shirt hemmed. The sheer overlay sequins where I bit of an issue after shortening because each line of sequins need to be re-secured….a huge issue and a lot of work….the only reason I didn’t give it a 5. It’s a beautiful dress.

I bought this dress for a wedding and fell in love with it when I put it on. However, I was rushing and I didn’t really give a ton of attention to the back though. Thank goodness I tried it on again a week before the wedding. There was a sewing mishap towards the middle of the back where the fabric was scrunched. Worse we’re all the strands of beads coming undone. I got it on sale for $119, tried to exchange it and all I could do was return it. I loved it so much, that I bought it again for $199. Only to receive another dress that the beads were unraveling throughout. I was really bummed out, the quality of the fabric was worth the price and the parts of the beading that weren’t falling apart were beautiful.

Such a beautiful dress! I wore this dress to a fundraiser and got tons of compliments. The beading is exquisite and the color is very luxurious. Plus the waistline is at a perfect spot. Highly recommend!

Super tolles Kleid. Ich hab viele Komplimente bekommen

So nice 👍

This dress is beautiful. Mine came missing a few beads. The dress came with a bag of replacement beads so it’s easy to fix. I love this dress! I am using it as my wedding dress.

Ein wunderschönes Kleid, leider viel zu lang

Tal como lo vi en la foto me llegó, excelente calidad, aunque largo para mi estatura.
