Review on πŸ‘— Stunning Short Sleeve Flowy V-Neck Gown for Cocktail Affairs - KOH KOH Formal by Bruno Gilbert

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not a bad dress, but expected more for its price point. Okay for full figures, better for slender figures.

I regret that I didn't take any photos before I returned this dress but for the purposes of a written review, my comments are as follows:1) The dress is not bad and works well for full figured women, especially those with large breasts. There is plenty of fabric give in the chest area and if ordering the XL then you will not really need the "dickie" or undershirt that you see many of the women wearing in Ebay reviews. I wear a 38DDD/E and had plenty of room to spare in the chest area, which was nice & unexpected. I typically have issues with this in most clothing.2) The dress is made of a rather cheap shiny polyester feeling fabric, so it doesn't look "classy" or expensive enough to be considered an evening "gown", but with the right shoes and accessories you could pull it off.3) If you are taller than 5'5" then flats are probably the only good option. I am 5-5 and the dress skims at the top of my feet. When wearing heels, it was unflattering at the bottom. If you have hips and a booty, it lays straight down to the ankle from the widest point of your hips so if you are wearing heels, it doesn't look right. If you are wearing flat sandals, it isn't as bad but it doesn't have an "evening gown" look to it unless it is somewhat covering your feet or to the floor. Again, I feel this is a good go-to-dinner-on-beach-vacation dress if wearing flat sandals but it might not look as good if you are curvy, 5-6 or taller and try to dress up with heels. Perhaps buying a size smaller than you need may give you a more form-fitting look towards the bottom and cutting off at the ankle might not be as bad.4) This is probably a great dress for thin women, or women with an athletic build as it will give you the curves and shape you may want if not feeling comfortable in bodycon or form fitting dresses. It's comfortable for full figured women, but I'm not sure the style is as flattering as I was hoping for.5) All of the above criticisms come down to the price point. At under fifty, I might have rated otherwise but for higher pricing, I would expect a little more out of this dress - from a fabric and tailoring perspective.

Pros
  • The flowy skirt is perfect for those who prefer dresses that are comfortable and easy to move in
Cons
  • The dress is too formal for a casual event
