Great Value and Nice Fit

Love it! Use the size chart. The dress has slightly stretchy material.which is good because I bought it in July and didn't wear it until Novermber and I had gained almost 10 pounds! By then the arms had gotten a little tight. I could've managed keeping them on but I impulsively cut the sleeves off and hand-sewed the arm holes for a much more comfortable fit. Be sure to buy a petticoat for the full effect.

Pros
  • Great for vintage photo shoots
Cons
  • The dress isn't suitable for colder temperatures

Cute dress, order a smaller size.

According to my measurements on the size chart, I would be an XL. After reading reviews I decided to go one size down (I will try to post pictures later of how this fits). I am glad that I got a Large instead on XL. It fits great and is super cute. I have gotten a ton of compliments on this dress! Like other reviews say, the fabric at the neck line is a bit awkward as it doesn't exactly stay folded down. I ironed it down which helped, but it still bothers me somewhat. It isn't all that…

Pros
  • It is comfortable and very cute. Fits as expected
Cons
  • I returned it. Material was stuff but not in a good way. Waist sat too high.

the dress is adorable, i love it so much, but the chest area is not good- it would fit, at absolute most, a c cup comfortably.it fits great otherwise, but completely squashed my girls down in an awkward way that is really uncomfortable, not to mention unflattering.i would suggest using a fabric with more stretch so that different cup sizes would fit this more comfortably. i would switch it out for a larger size, but i’m not sure that would fix the problem, and then the rest of it would probably

Pros
  • The zipper broke when I sat down. I'm a 2xl & ordered the xxl.. needed one size bigger.
Cons
  • Poor quality fabric that easily wrinkles and fades

I write this review with sadness. I wanted to love this dress. It was so pretty on the model and it came in larger sizes!I am a 47' waist and 43' underbust and 47' (B cup) bust, so I ordered the 3XL. It fit nicely around my waist and the skirt looked nice. but the top was a disaster! The 3XL said it fit a 47' bust and 40' waist. I didn't want to go out to a 4XL because I didn't want the bust to look odd. and like I said it was fine it fit great in the waist even though I am 47'. but it was HUGE

Pros
  • Perfect for Halloween parties
Cons
  • The dress lacks versatility, making it hard to wear beyond Halloween

Cute but not sure what fabric content is.

It is a cute dress. I bought a size too big as I have not purchased an OTEN dress before. Sometimes the size charts are not at all right. I think the sizing was accurate as the dress I bought was indeed too large. But I know how to sew so I altered it to fit. It is a cute dress. The fabric feels like it is synthetic but the tag says "100% cotton". I am not sure that is true. It is a nice fit and flare fit and I love the vintage look so it was a good purchase.

Pros
  • Thoughtfully designed
Cons
  • The dress is difficult to accessorize

Great fit! - my new review

I really love the fit of this dress! I needed a Christmas dress that I could wear to both work and personal Christmas parties, and this one is perfect for that!I ordered a 3xl. I normally wear a size 20/22 pant and xl/xxl top. I was worried that the dress would show too much cleavage, but it doesn't. I love that I can pair the dress with a blazer or nice cardigan for work and still look professional.

Pros
  • Classy and elegant
Cons
  • The design is too gimmicky and doesn't appeal to everyone

Pleasantly surprised

This dress is really cute. The colors and pattern are bright and sharp. The matter is a stiff stretch, it doesn’t have a lot of give. I’m normall a 18/20 or 18w or 20w & 42D because of the reviews I order the 3Xl. It’s very tight in the chest but it doesn’t flattened it. The sleeves are tight but manageable. It very flattering and gives me modest coverage. I’m 5’1 it hits just below my knees. I’m planning on using an underskirt to fluff it up. I would buy other dresses.

Pros
  • Flattering swing style
Cons
  • The colors are too bold and don't complement many skin tones

Cute Dress With A Few Alterations

Followed the sizing chart provided, and it's slightly too big in all areas, so this needed some alterations. The length is perfect on me, but I had it shortened a bit to show the petticoat I bought to floof out the skirt. The material is decent quality. A little stiff, but with a dry cleaning/wash it was better. **Photo shown is after alterations.**My Measurements:Height: 5'4"Weight: 170 lbsBust: 40"Waist: 34"Hips: 43"Size I Ordered: Large

Pros
  • Club & Night Out
Cons
  • The print is too loud and can be overwhelming

Overall I really liked it, minus the chest portion

The dress is made of a nice material, breathable, with a beautiful print and if you add a ruffle petticoat the skirt is great, with a perfect length. However, the chest area, the heart-shaped décolleté, is way too high. Knowing that now, I would have opted for their other model. Still a nice dress, especially if you have smaller breast than me.

Pros
  • Can be paired with a shawl or scarf
Cons
  • The dress is too lightweight and flimsy

Cute dress for my Halloween costume

I bought this for a Halloween costume and paired it with a fluffy slip to give the bottom a full effect. It was cute and got tons of compliments on it. I wear a large in shirts and normally size 12 in jeans and ordered the large. I had but a long sleeve underneath it because it was cold on Halloween where I live and still fit comfortably.

Pros
  • Flattering on all body shapes
Cons
  • The dress catches on jewelry and accessories easily

Great Rockabilly Look with a Unique Twist

Love the look of this dress. Wanted a rockabilly look that was a little unique for a festival and this dress is just right. Looks good with crinolines or without. It is also very comfortable. I ordered the 4x but was a little large and had to reorder in a 3x. It fits better, but still has room for comfort. Don't like to wear tight clothes when going to be out and about for many hours. I am very busty, so wanted to make sure there was room in the top and the 3x fits well. I am…

Pros
  • Can be worn with leggings or tights
Cons
  • The dress is too tight around the arms, making movement difficult

School cafeteria fall festival

I bought this to wear at my school cafeteria fall festival. It was too tight from the waist up. It was well made, had beautiful color, but was just too small.

Pros
  • Soft and gentle on the skin
Cons
  • The dress is too plain and lacks interesting details

Fun and flirty dress

I bought this dress for a 50's housewife halloween costume. It was PERFECT and I plan on wearing it more than I thought. The neckline stitching is a little off, however with some modifications with a stich remover, it looks fine. I usually wear a womens 4/6 with a 38B bust and I bought a medium and it was slightly snug just above my belly button but it was not super uncomfortable. I will be buying another dress in another pattern!

Pros
  • Memorable design
Cons
  • The dress is too busy and cluttered

Nice fit with a little stretch

I really like this dress. It is comfortable. Was worried about the fit. Because I have broad shoulders and typically wear a size 14, I ordered the XXL to be safe and it fits great. I usually wear XL so this runs just a bit small, like half a size. I may have been able to wear the XL since it does stretch some but worried about the shoulders. I am fairly tall, 5'8" and the length is just at my knee so it will be longer on some. To me this is a really great value.

Pros
  • Great for debutantes
Cons
  • The dress has a tendency to cling to undergarments, causing discomfort

Cute solid dress on my review.

I was stopped nervous about ordering this I'm 5'11" and about 230 so I'm always scared things will be to short. The dress is the perfect length for me in the 2xl. The only reason i took off a star is the bust area fits a little weird. This could be because i have a long torso and only a small c cup. Overall it seems to be well made and definitely worth the price would but it again

Pros
  • Can be accessorized with jewelry, hats, and gloves
Cons
  • The dress lacks durability and longevity

Great dress! Lots of compliments.

I love these dresses! I usually wear a L/XL but with these I always get the XXL and they fit perfectly and I don’t even have to unzip it. The material is great heavy but not overly heavy. Pair it with a nice sweater and your good.

Pros
  • Compliments all skin tones
Cons
  • The dress is too sheer in certain areas, making it hard to wear without a slip
