The Iridescent Sequin items, especially the Dress, were especially interesting to me. Surprisingly, both items were in my store. Though they weren’t Collection items, I figured these would be offered in limited locations. So, let’s go try them on.
~ Seaside Pant in Iridescent Sequin, size 6 ~
These fit of these pants were all over the place. This first pair I tried was a size 6. They are really saggy in the front and the elastic waistband almost felt like it was for show. It wasn’t holding up the pants very well at all. I originally thought I had tried on the size 8 but then saw that size still hanging in my fitting room. I didn’t even try those on as I figured they would fall off me if I did.
The size 4 fit a little too small. You can see the pockets won’t lay flat. The waistband was sitting low on the hips too. The thighs were tight and it was snug across the butt. The length was good for me and you can finally notice the elastic at the hem.
And we have a winner! This is the other size 6. You can tell the pockets lay flat, mostly. The length is similar to the size 4. The thighs are not as tight or snug either. I think this pair is the correct size 6. There still a little issue with the waistband being mostly for show. It’s almost like the elastic was stretched out before it was sown into the waistband. So very odd.
The sequins are all over the pant, including the inside thigh. I can see them rubbing as you walk and then spreading out over the floor leaving a trail so you can find your way home. It also means you have to be careful where you sit so as not to snag a sequin on your seat.
Each sequin pattern is different in the front and back. This was the last pair I tried on, another size 6, and you can see the pattern in the back is very different from the other two pair. The sequins also look pink in some lighting and lilac in another. The background color for the pant and dress is not white but more ecru.
This is such a pretty dress. It stood out among all the other items in the store. I’ve bought several dresses lately and found another one I loved. I need to decide which ones to keep, though they are all so very pretty and useful for different days.
The size 6 fit very well. I tried on the size 8 too and it was looser throughout and longer, hitting about an inch lower than the size 6. You want this dress in your smaller size since there is a bit of shape to it. I didn’t compare the pattern of the sequins on the other dresses but this pattern looks similar to the online image. The v-neck isn’t as low as it might look showing little to no cleavage. You’ll need a racerback bra for this dress though as the sleeves come in a little. You also need to watch what you sit on since the sequins are in the back of the dress too.
I didn’t get the dress and regretted it as soon as I got home. The
Instagram comments may have persuaded me as well. I have it on hold and will pick it up later today. I am off to Vegas for a few days next week so I think this will be great for one of the evenings there.
What are your thoughts on the Iridescent Sequin items? Have you tried the pants? Did you have similar fit issues to mine?
