Review on Vintage Glamour: Anna-Kaci Women'S Lace Gatsby Cocktail Dress With Crochet Vest For The Perfect Roaring 20S Look by Tiffany Allan

Ordered this dress for a 1920's themed event I'll be going to in a month and half. Unfortunately the dress just did not work for me, though it is a very pretty dress and would probably work much better for someone with different proportions. The dress is in two pieces. One piece is the seafoam lace under-dress. Very pretty color. As mentioned - top is completely sheer lace (which I was excited about - I love wearing sheer tops with pretty, lacey bralettes). There's an elastic waist (which is hard to see in the pics). The bottom half is lined with a nude slip-like fabric, though the lace hangs a tad bit lower than the lining for a pretty hem effect. This lace dress was pretty, but not the greatest quality. Not terrible, but probably Forever 21 level. It will wear fine if worn rarely and with care, but this isn't the type of quality that will hold up for ages. The second part is the crocheted vest-like part. The crocheted seemed of a better quality than the lace part of the dress.My problem was the proportions. I'm fairly tall (5'9") so the elastic waist hit me a tad bit under the bust (upper ribcage I guess). From there it just hung like an empire waist dress (with almost a gathering/pleat like effect). The vest covered the waist but it still look fairly obvious to me. I'm also somewhat pear shaped - small in the waist, large in the hips, so it just wasn't flattering on me. I think the dress would provide the effect shown in the picture on someone who was average height or short and with narrower hips. On me - it looked more like a 70's grandma sundress rather than the 20's vibe I got from the images.
