Review on Vintage Charm: MUXXN Women'S 1950S-Inspired Wrap V-Neck Cocktail Dress With Tie Waist by Ricky Gilbert

True to Size, Looks Great, Zipper Might Feel Stuck at Waist

I was looking specifically for a fitted grey dress to wear to an event. I looked high and low online, all my fave stores (Nordstrom et al) and couldn't find what I was looking for. Then I randomly googled "fitted grey dress" and discovered this. Wow! I actually tried 3 different styles from MUXXN, the assymetrical neckline dress (nice but I wanted more of a plunging neckline), the pencil skirt (didn't care for the kick pleats, would have liked a slit) and this one. I absolutely LOVE this dress.1- The stretch in the fabric is perfect. It hugs you without being uncomfortable2- For me, the length and proportions were just right (I'm 5'10, 140lbs, size 8). I ordered Medium and Large thinking the Medium would be too tight, but it was great. I have hips and the dress and my hips made it work. So for that, if you're long in the torso or legs, you might find yours to be true to size like I found mine.3- One thing that bugged me. the ZIPPER. Seems like it has trouble getting past the waistline of the dress. I returned one thinking it was a sewing flaw, but the next dress had that too. You have to be careful zipping it and unzipping it from the waist area. Ended up keeping it and will just be careful as I go along.I can easily see myself getting this dress in more colors as the price is incredible and the fit is great. I recommend!
