Adrianna PapellWomen's Short-Sleeve Grid Beaded Gown

Oh, this is a gorgeous gown! It's difficult to describe the exact color, but I'll do my best -- it's an unusual shade for formal wear. I don't expect to "see myself" in multiple iterations at the big event I am planning to attend. The gown is just that "different." The lining is a medium steel gray and the net overlay is an ashy-gray/brown (with more emphasis on the brown) -- the result is a mutable shade of taupe in some lights, and a slightly bronzy-gray in others -- but the over-all result is simply lovely. The beaded embellishments are perfect for it -- more concentrated on the bodice and around the neckline, but gradually tapering off down the skirt. The godets in the skirt move gracefully and the fit is spot-on for size. It's a very flattering design and the color is, I think, an attractive choice for many women. The skirt is long, however -- I am 5'7" and even with heels on, I needed to have the skirt professionally shortened by over two inches. That added an extra $60 to the cost of the gown. A final point: I was concerned about finding shoes that would go well with this gown -- silver wasn't right, and black looked too harsh -- but I found a perfect match in Adrienne Vittadini's Surya Dress pump in a pewter-gray (also on Amazon).

Purchased this dress along with 4 other dresses for my mom to try. She is on the hunt for her mother of the bride dress. She received this dress, tried it on and did like it a lot but she is looking for something different for my wedding day. The dress fit her pretty well, a little loose around her waist but it still looked great on her. Unfortunately we will return it because she is looking for something different. She wanted me to state that if it was for a different event she would most likely keep it.

This dress is absolutely gorgeous and flattering. Sizing is accurate. It has a little stretch to it. There is a small train, which I didn’t realize when ordering, but it adds to the elegance. It is long, which is great for me as I’m 5’11. I’ll be wearing it for my daughter’s wedding. I was worried about being plus size and having a larger chest area- but it’s very flattering (size 18).

I loved my dress, not heavy although it has alot of beading. Very beautiful, received many compliments. Order correct size as it's not a stretchy material. Overall happy with this purchase

This was a last minute purchase for a wedding. I had ordered another dress from Bloomingdales and the size was off, the fit too small. I logged on line to Amazon to see if they had any dresses similar to the one I had purchased. I saw this, upped the size and bought it for the next day. Wow. A major saver. The dress fit perfectly. Other than the length, which I had hemmed, it was absolutely perfect. It fit in well with a late afternoon, early evening wedding. Made my day.

Beautiful but would have to spend $50 dollars more for hemming

This product was ordered as one of four dresses to be tried on. I expected to send 3 back and keep one. All the dresses had to go back because none of them fit as expected. This is a very large dress and does not fit according to the size on the label. It has taken weeks to get a person on the phone and it is still not processed. When I spoke with them, Amazon has confirmed they have the dress that was returned and also have the money. They said I would have to wait 6 weeks for a refund. I was told that this was a new August 2023 policy for returns with Amazon. For an item this costly, this is unfortunate and unacceptable.

This was a beautiful dress. It was very comfortable to move around, sit, stand, and of course dance. Wonderful compliments from everyone and it was a very flattering dress as mother of the bride. As mother of the bride, you deserve to wear a stunning dress like this. Not too heavy even with all the beading. Just flowed so elegantly. Beautiful in pictures and went well with the entire wedding party. Highly recommend this dress and because it is a somewhat stretchy material it conforms to just make for a wonderful fit. I am a size 12 - 14 and easily fit in 12. Quite long. I am 5'5" and cut about 2 1/2 " off and still able to wear 3 1/2 inch heals. Highly recommend

Lovely dress- fits as expected. It is long so important to consider your shoe heel size. Appreciate the extra rhinestones in case I lose one!

The dress is beautiful it’s exactly like the picture and because I need to wear it for long time I felt so comfortable in light weight good quality and fits good.

Beautiful and good fit for size except it was extremely long. I am 5'10" and even with 2.5" heels it was brushing the ground. I would have had to wear much higher heels or have the hem raised.
