Adrianna Papell Women's Short-Sleeve Grid Beaded Gown

Just wore this to a gala on Saturday. It was black tie affair 200 tix. I paid to be there and in this dress I was the prettiest in the room. Beautiful color the nude the bottom brushes the floor and is to die for. The prettiest dress I ever owned. I might wear to my neices wedding. Will definitely wear again. Only down side sequins do come off a some. True to size.

This dress is very very pretty and with all the beading has a very nice drape. The “sleeves” are tight and I know would scratch all night. It did run a bit small. Materials are excellent. It was comfortable except for the sleeve. Very nice materials but not much stretch.

Beautiful silhouette & color but very long. I’m 5’4” 133 lbs and even with a 2-3” heel would need significant hemming. Otherwise the fit was good. Color was not flattering for me.

Bought for a fall wedding and I received so many compliments! It is very flattering and true to size. I am 5’4” and the length was ok with heels, without heels it was very long and I had to pick up the front to walk without tripping.As with any beaded/sequined dresses, expect some to come off. The dress included a bag of replacement beads if needed.

It’s very nice but way to long!!!!

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).

I just love the colors in this dress, however I found the dress to be a little on the small side. I think with all the cross hatching in the pattern doesn't give the dress much stretch. Stunning dress on.

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).
