This is a bodycon dress made of stretchy, figure-hugging velvet in a seductive style designed to show off your every curve. The velvet is so soft and comfortable that although it is like wearing a second skin, it does not feel tight because it stretches as you do.
I ordered a size 16 and as you can see, the hem falls just below the knee. The sleeves are a little short (my arms are too long), but I don't believe that it detracts from the overall look of the dress
The only qualm I had before ordering the dress was its high neck collar. I was concerned that the collar would ruin my makeup when I slipped into the dress. However, I had nothing to worry about because the collar has a zipper in back to facilitate getting the dress on and off.
I like the dress a lot and I plan to wear it to the next cocktail party I attend.

That dress is gorgeous. Suits you well. Sue x
ReplyDeleteThank you Sue.
DeleteI Hate You! How can you look so gorgeous at your age....and even get into a dress like that?
ReplyDeleteOf course I'm not jealous!
LOL
DeleteOK - saw this post first thing this AM and went RIGHT to the Venus site to order it. But they are all out of anything larger than a Medium! DRAT!! Is it your experience that Venus replenishes their stock periodically? Oh well, I guess I'll just keep checking back.
ReplyDeleteLike you, I missed a few Venus offerings in the past and they did not restock those items, so my guess is that they don't restock sold out items.
DeleteI love the dress and it looks fantastic on you!
ReplyDeleteSo attractive! I want it!!! Perhaps Venus will restock soon
ReplyDeleteSleeves too short?
ReplyDeleteHow about a black and gold banded hinged bracelet?
Maybe two 'skinny' bracelets? Or, as 'Miss Millions' used....

Thank you for the suggestions, Velma.

I'm hoping autumn 2021.
DeleteYou rock that dress. They should be using you as a model at Venus.
ReplyDeletei totally agree. i have thought from time to time about offering myself as a model for a cosmetics/makeover company, on the basis that they can then boast: "if we can make a GUY look this good, then think what we could do for YOU!"
DeleteI'm more than willing! Thank you for the kind words, Stephanie.
DeleteI love the dress, you wear it well.
ReplyDeleteThank you Gracie.
DeleteThe dress is an absolute beauty as you are. May I ask where you ordered the dress from?
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind words, Joanne. I ordered it from Venus (www.venus.com).
DeleteSince you posted this, I have had an order for it with Venus On Hold while I waited for them to get my size in. Well, after checking their website every day (yes - EVERY day since Dec 22) they finally have it in my size. I ordered it this morning (Jan 10). Now let's see how long it takes to arrive! My prayer is that I look HALF as good as YOU do in it, Sweetie!
ReplyDeleteUPDATE and VENT
DeleteHere we are, February 5th, and I am STILL waiting for this dress to arrive. They messed up my delivery address and after 3 phone calls and I Lost Count Of How Many emails - they say it is coming. (???) Apparently it got sent back, and since they don't regularly carry my size, I was told that when it returned they would turn it around and send it to the proper address. That was 3 weeks ago!
Sorry, I feel like I need to vent my Venus Frustration somewhere. I hope the dress is worth all this aggravation.
Thanks for listening, Sweetie.
