Let me start by saying this dress is a showstopper. The moment I slipped into the BeryLove Sequin Dress, I felt like I'd stepped into a fairytale. The sequins catch the light beautifully, and the A-line silhouette gave me that perfect 'princess twirl' effect. I wore it to a winter wedding (in navy—such a rich color!), and got endless compliments.

The fabric is surprisingly comfortable for something so glamorous—no stiff, scratchy feeling here. The mesh skirt flows like liquid and does an excellent job camouflaging my post-holiday dessert belly. Bonus: I could wear my normal strapless bra without any awkward adjustments!

Now, the quirks. Those straps? They’re rebels. Like other reviewers mentioned, they run long (I’m 5’3” and had to fold/stitch them discreetly). Also, beware the sequin armpit situation—after 3 hours of dancing, my arms were *not* happy campers. Pro tip: apply body glide or wear thin sleeves if you’re sensitive.

Sizing was spot-on (I’m usually medium and ordered medium), but check their chart religiously—Amazon’s generic chart lies! The hidden back zipper is genius for smooth lines, though wrestling it up alone required some yoga moves.

Final verdict? For under $100, this dress makes you feel like a million bucks despite minor flaws. Just keep safety pins handy for strap emergencies and practice your ‘arms slightly elevated’ glam pose!
