The beauty of this silver stunner by Adrianna Papell is that rather than being too tight, it is slightly roomy like your favorite crew neck T-shirt. The cap sleeves give great coverage as well and help to create a balanced silhouette. This is not only universally flattering, but will leave room for dancing throughout the night.
