Review on Vintage Sleeveless Pencil Dress For Women: MUXXN'S Slim Retro 1950S Business Style by Alex Mitra

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great Summer Dress!

I'm 5'3"/130 lbs/38D. According to the size chart referred, I decided to order a size up so that put me in the medium range. The bust area was a bit snug, but I could have lived with it if I HAD to. The waistline was a bit more problematic as I felt I needed a little more room for the pleating to fall the way it's supposed to. I returned the medium and ordered the large since I'm not into bodycons. The material has a 65% rayon, 30% cotton, and 5% spandex composition so there's very little stretch with the weight and feel seeming closer to a light linen. The white colored dress is definitely not a stark white, and you will definitely need to wear a slip in a color to offset your personal skin tone if you don't plan on showing too much of your body's commodities. I definitely plan on washing mine in a delicate wash cycle, taking it out immediately, and laying it flat to dry in order to help keep the shape and eliminate the prospects for ANY shrinkage. As one of the other reviewers noted there is a piece in the front of the bodice on the inside of the dress (particularly with some of the lighter colored dresses) that makes a noticeable line that you can see from the outside on the chest area that is distracting enough to warrant a little tailoring work. Having said that, it's still a great summer dress and for the price I think it's definitely worth the effort to nip and tuck where you need to since the neckline and pleating are a bit unique.

Pros
  • Would have been for Formal work ceremony, but S was overall a bit too big :(
Cons
  • May be difficult to find the right size
