HanpceirsWomen's Boatneck Sleeveless Swing Vintage 1950s Cocktail Dress New

Let me start this review with the fact that I know I’m heavy and that dresses cant work miracles. That being said, I feel pretty confident wearing this dress and I get at least four compliments every time I wear it. I’m a teacher and wanted a new dress to start the year that passes the “lean over” test. I love the cut and color of this dress. The only thing I’m not crazy about is the fabric belt that comes with it. There aren’t belt loops on the dress so you don’t have to wear a belt with it. Once tied into a bow, the tails of the bow are shorter than I’d like. I thought it looked kind boring with that belt so I ordered a white, wide elastic belt that I like much better. I’m right on the cusp of 16w and 18w. I ordered the dress in a 16w first and returned it for an 18w which fits great. The bodice has a lining and the skirt of the dress does not, but it isn’t see through. I’m 5’4” and 190 lbs. if that helps with your dress decision. I am planning on ordering the same style in different colors because I like it so much.

I love the dress pattern and flow of the dress. I added a pettitcoat for added fluffiness and loved it!

Fits perfectly, I ordered an XL! I am "Wisconsin skinny" 5'5" 200 pounds even. Couldn't ask for a better fit! I like the dress without a petticoat underneath because it has more flow. It's probably one of the most flattering dresses I've owned in some time, I'll definitely purchase a couple other patterns!

So I got a 3X because of my bust is a 48" and my bra size is 42 FBut the bust said for 3 x is 45" I believe if you're wearing a padded bra it would probably be a little too tight but I'm wearing a non-padded bra and it fits perfect it's not too tight It just fits perfectly!Love the material it looks really nice and feels nice!

I'll definitely be coming back for additional colors just for going out in, but the lemon pattern I got to start with is PERFECT for the Chuck from Pushing Daisies costume I'm putting together. It fits like a glove and it's so comfortable and lovely.

I bought this dress to wear to an outdoor, evening summer wedding. It is exactly what I wanted. The contrast of the flowers on black is very striking.

In the 48 years I’ve been on this Earth, I have never received so many compliments as I did for this dress. At least two dozen compliments in two hours at an art reception: both men and women, young and old. It was incredible! Even sitting in my car on the way home going through a drive-thru, the girl at the window said my dress was beautiful! Stunning, gorgeous, fabulous we’re words used to describe my outfit. I did use a petticoat underneath to get the full 50s effect. I love it and hope I can wear it again soon! I also did ignore the sizes they suggested. According to their chart I should have ordered a large, but I took a chance and ordered my usual medium. It fits perfectly!

Such a cute and flattering dress. I'm currently a size 14(ish) and I bought the extra large. I love the shape so much. It's perfect with a petticoat underneath.
