I bought a size 16 and wore it with heels and it fit like a dream. The sequins are more gunmetal then silver or gold, and it reads silver. Love the illusion neckline. It’s comfortable to wear, just a little heavy. Photographs well. Wore it to a black tie event, husband loves it, and no one else was wearing it, so that’s a win/win! Just remember you store gowns like this folded in a box with tissue paper, not hanging or dress could lose it’s shape, even break the hanger.Adrianna Papell never disappoints.
