Serena Shimmer Velvet Wrap Dress | Merlot

Very pleased with dress - good fit.

Super cute - I had no idea how to tie a wrap dress so I had to look up a video, hahaha! It's not too difficult. FYI, in case you're like me and had no idea -- once the dress is on like a robe, take the tie from the left side of the dress, life your right arm over your head, and put the left hand tie all the way through the hole on the inside right hand side by your waist, pulling to make it tight but not uncomfortable. Then, take the right hand side, wrap around your left side, and take the tie all the way behind your body to your right side. Hold that with your right hand. Take the tie that went through the hole on the right side, and wrap it behind you to your left side. Hold that with your left hand. Now, tie a bow to the center left of your abdomen. Voila, you have tied the dress! I love the rich fabric on this dress. The color is beautiful, and the dress is very comfortable. I ended up returning the Jada Ribbed Velvet Wrap Dress in Mulberry (was a little tight in the upper arms/shoulder area) and keeping the Serena Shimmer Velvet Wrap Dress in Merlot. Sizing on this was TTS (true to size) according to the sizing chart. I am 5'0" and 220 pounds. I will definitely need a hem, but not too bad with low heels. Definitely recommend wearing boob tape with this dress, since it is low cut (but not too low cut) and my strapless bra was showing in the middle. I also will wear shapewear to make it more flattering. When sitting, watch out so you don't inadvertently flash anyone your goods, haha.

Great customer service and product. Love the fit/style and everything. It’s more red than burgundy but will definitely purchase a different dress for a different occasion!

The overall experience dealing with this vendor was amazing! I would highly recommend!
