Has anyone seen a black sequin dress?

I'm after a fab dress for my hen night, I really fancy a sequin dress as I've never had the escuse to wear one before! I ordered a lovely one from Asos but when it arrived I realised that the sequins are really cheap little ones with hardly any shine, so I'm discounting most of the otherd on Asos and similar shops.

I want glitzy, black, or maybe a metallic colour, it needs to be knee-length, but high necklines don't suit me. Preferably sleeveless as I might get hot with all the dancing!! Most of the nice ones I've found are too short, mind you I'm only 5'3" so some that look short might be ok for me. Anyone seen anything about? Budget about £100.

Oh, forgot to say my other stipulation, not strapless, sorry Coca!

Definitely black? This is amazing!

Ooh I like the FC one

That FC one is stunning! I like the little sleeves.

A word of warning OP... I bought a lovely sleeveless one and cut my armpits to ribbons by the end of the night on the sharp edges of the sequins.

I love that, they don't have it in my local store, that's the one I've had my eye on for weeks!, it looks v v short though, and you can't return sale items Sad Has anyone tried it irl?

I like the HOF silver one, but I've got the tape measure out it's too short, I've just measured myself and I need a length of 95cm/36" ish. I'm picky aren't I.

I love the Topshop one, that's very blingy, thanks, might have to try that on.

Thanks for all the help. I've ordered the Samantha FC one (can try with opaques and they're selling for loads on ebay!) and the Topshop one, they both look too short but we'll see!
