Review on Stunning Empire Maxi Dress: Perfect For Cocktail Parties And Elegant Evenings! by Emmanuel Nguyen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Truly a Versatile dress

I was on the hunt for a "vintage" modish looking dress, for my friends babyshower and, finding a maxi/ casual dress in the winter is extremely hard! So i was elated when I found this on amazon! The material is a polyester spandex,so it's stretchy, but not clingy at all and I think it has something to do it the pleats and empire waste in the front (DUH! =]). It is flowy and the perfect length to make it look elegant. I'm 5'6 and it hits the floor just perfectly (want to say it's about 57-58 inches from the shoulder). I know alot of people said the white was see through, but this was not at all! it's a good thickness of fabric again perfect for winter, but honestly I think it would be good to wear in spring or summer. The color in the picture looked more mauve to me but it is a brown ladies so don't get disappointed, they do call it "latte".So I was soo conflicted on the sizee, it took me a day to decide on which size to order! But i went with the large (2) i gained a little weight around my arms and chest (36D) and I was afraid the medium might be too snug and the XL being tooo big! But I am glad with my choice for this particular style.I know the XL would have been too big. I think though If I was to order a different style I might go with a medium. This dress fits good, but there is a little extra room around the sides of my hips and the shoulders so it makes me look bigger than I am, but not a problem I can sew so I will probably take it in!

Pros
  • Versatile enough to wear to weddings, graduations, and other special events
Cons
  • The dress may not breathe well in hot weather
