its a beautiful dress but a bit too small in the shoulder .

its a beautiful dress but a bit too small in the shoulder and bust area for me. I took a chance that the small would fit me since they are out of size medium and I really wanted this dress to work. it has some stretch to it but comfort is important to me so I am returning it and hoping they get size medium in stock so I can order one in my true size.

Pros
  • A simple and stylish 1950s retro vintage rockabilly cocktail swing party dress. Perfect as evening prom dress, cocktail party dress, bridesmaid dress, birthday dress, costume party dress and daily casual dress.
Cons
  • The dress may not be available in all sizes

As expected in my review

I purchased this is red and in the darker blue with tiny dots. I am 5'4" 160 lbs and carry my weight on my hips, bum, and a bit in the tummy. 34C chest. I ordered the medium in both. They fit more snug on the top and flare out a bit at the waist. I may wear a slight spanx with them just to make it more seamless. They are beautiful, more than I expected for the price. I had purchased a green from another seller/brand also in Medium and it has a bit of room. So these may run a tiny bit small, but

Pros
  • Occasion: Wedding Party, Hosting, Bridesmaid Dresses, Cocktail, Christmas party and Formal Occasions.
Cons
  • The dress may be too long for some

Couldn't be happier with the fit

I love this dress. Wasn't sure I ordered the right size but it fit perfectly. My top half is much smaller than my bottom half and I have very wide hips, this dress perfectly fit over everything and even covered up my mid section that I'm uncomfortable with. I did end up getting a petticoat to go under after reading other reviews and it was just what the dress needed! I'll be wearing this to my rehearsal dinner in a couple months and can't wait to see what everyone thinks of it.

Pros
  • My daughters midsection made the dress look tight but the fits
Cons
  • The vintage style may not be to everyone's taste

Cute and affordable

Ordered the dark green dress for a wedding I attended and flattering and comfortable. Had to order two sizes since I wasn’t sure about the size chart and went off somebody else review. I’m 5’5 between180-185, so the XXL worked for me. Now it did come wrinkled (low heat iron helped) and the zipper is cheap. Mine wasn’t a plastic zipper, but it was the tiny ones that are known to break easily.

Pros
  • Love the style of the dress. Wrinkles easily and runs small a size smaller!
Cons
  • The dress may not be suitable for hot weather

Fun dress for summer outings.

Initially purchased this to attend a charity tea and I fit right in. I will wear it frequently through the summer. Thanks for attention!

Pros
  • The dress is perfect for those who want to be both fashionable and comfortable
Cons
  • The dress may not be suitable for women who prefer casual clothing

Sizing runs small! - my new review

Bought this for my granddaughters college graduation. As recommended, used the sizing chart from the manufacturer, instead of the one Revain provided. The dress fit perfectly. The sizing ran small, as stated in all the previous reviews, therefore, I bought a size larger than usual. She looked beautiful in it. Very pleased with this product, and, she wants more of them in different colors.

Pros
  • The dress is perfect for those who appreciate vintage details
Cons
  • The dress may not be suitable for women with thin arms

great dress for $30.

Great dress for an hourglass figure. Cotton kept me cool on a hot day. The neckline hides any strange gapping around chest/armpit area that us fuller figured ladies sometimes get. I normally wear a 14 ended up with a 2x. The dress is hand wash only. I don't think it was pre-shrunk cotton as it shrunk slightly after washing. Fabric irons up nicely.I'm going to order another one.

Pros
  • The dress is timeless
Cons
  • The dress may not be suitable for women who prefer skirts over dresses

Very impressed. Will buy more in the future

I used it for a halloween costume but the dress feels well made. Im definately adding it to my regular clothes. I did get the larger of the two sizes recommened.

Pros
  • The dress stands out in a sea of modern dresses
Cons
  • The dress may not be suitable for women with a long torso

hard to order correctly

I dont have a problem with the dress itself as I could not even try it, I tried 3 times to order this dress in 3x but each time the orer defaulted to xs so i could not even try. The second and third try I very carefully selected 3x but the order showed xs each time. It was a trial and I dont know if it is dure to the crazy amout of color/pattern options that this glitch happened but I blame amazon not the dress maker. Have had no problems with other clothing purchases either through amazon or…

Pros
  • The dress is affordable
Cons
  • The dress may not be suitable for women with a pear-shaped body

Super cute - my new review

It was a little tight in the chest but I have a large chest and small waist so in order for it to fit at the waist, I knew it was going to be tight in the chest. But it's really cute and I love it. I got a ton of compliments on it everywhere I went. I'm definitely going to order another one in a different print.

Pros
  • Ordered this dress for my daughters homecoming. She is a curvy girl and it looked amazing on her!
Cons
  • The material may wrinkle easily

Made me look a couple of dress sizes smaller

The dress fit perfectly. I received many compliments on how tiny my waist is. Even though it truly needs work. But the design helped me and others remember what my waist size used to look like.

Pros
  • The dress is perfect for retro-themed events
Cons
  • The dress may not be suitable for women with broad shoulders

Cute but not comfy: my feedback

This dress is super cute but it's stiff as a board. Revain suggested I get a small, so I ordered a medium and it was tough getting on. I really wish it was a different material.

Pros
  • The dress is perfect for those who want to stand out
Cons
  • The dress may not be suitable for women with a high waist

Fabric was rough.: my feedback

Dress arrived stuffed in a plastic bag and completely wrinkled. The fabric is stiff cotton and I would have had to take it to the cleaners to get the wrinkles pressed out. I sent it back even though the fit was fine.

Pros
  • The cap sleeves add a touch of femininity
Cons
  • The dress may not be suitable for women with wide hips

Way cuter than I expected! I love it!

I bought a size Medium my daughter who is 5'9, 135 lbs. It fits her perfectly through her shoulders and is a little loose in the waist. I also bought a black petticoat for her to wear underneath. Honestly it looks great with or without! I would buy this product again!

Pros
  • Please do use our Size Chart Image on the left, Not Amazon size chart link. If you are between sizes, please choose the bigger size.
Cons
  • The zipper may be difficult to work
