I really like these dresses

So I actually ended up buying four dresses from this seller. I bought only one at first (the Black#6), but after falling in love with it I bought three more. I am 5'3" and 138lbs; I got a size medium for all of them and they fit very well. At first, when holding the first one in my hands, the material seemed a bit cheap. But after putting it on I thought it looked and felt gorgeous! I bought a bunch of petticoats to go underneath (one example pictured) to make the dresses flare out a bit (I…

Pros
  • Vintage charm that adds character to any wardrobe
Cons
  • Flower embellishment is too bulky and uncomfortable

fit at chest but very large at waist

I had to return this dress. it was very cute and it fit my bust (in width, that is) but i'm a bit older and the shoulders were too short. (difficult to describe -- but since I have a large bust, the front panel didn't sit where it was supposed to. It was supposed to stop the bust part underneath my bustline but that part was in the middle of my bust. longer shoulders would've helped. this would've made for a not-so-low cut front panel which is actually contrary to the style. a lower cut front…

Pros
  • Easy to dress up or down depending on the occasion
Cons
  • Inner lining is uncomfortable and restricts movement

Both comfortable and adorable

I ordered this for "Decade Day” of spirit week at the school where I work. This dress is so cute and it’s the quintessential look for the 50’s that isn’t a poodle skirt. I took the advice of many other reviewers and ordered one size up from my usual XL- I’m 5’4” and around 205lbs and the XXL perfectly. Wore 2 petticoat skirts underneath for the right amount of flair in the skirt.The top part of the dress is a cotton blend- breathable - and the skirt is a thicker poly blend material. Loved this…

Pros
  • Fits well! Needs ironed out of the bag as you can see in my photo but very comfortable and flattering.
Cons
  • Sleeves are too tight for some women

Stuck in the 50’s: my feedback

I just LOVE the 50’s styles! I am 53 yrs young. yet I’m stuck in the 50’s! Probably because I always enjoyedl👀king at my mother’s pictures from that era. GET THE DRESS! Yes I did my whole kitchen in 50’s retro appliances too, from Walmart ♥️I have read some reviews saying the dress is poorly made. hmm Not true,it’s not high end quality but, it’s nicely made super comfy, Nust get the tu-tu slip! I wear these clothes to the office and work at a law firm. I get a ton of compliments on the style…

Pros
  • High-quality fabric that won't easily deteriorate or fade
Cons
  • Hemline is too short in the back, creating an unflattering silhouette

Fits great, decent fabric, very very cute!

I was leery! I'm 5'0" tall, thicker than a bowl of oatmeal with a lot of belly/ thighs/butt, moderate breast and a small waist. Imagine a sexy hobbit. Or a squished bowling pin. You get the idea. I trusted in the size guide, double checked my measurements and went with a 2xl even though my heart said 3xl 'just to be safe' cuz ya girl has been burned before. I'm glad I did! I honestly could have ALMOST fit in a 1xl. Even the sleeves fit comfortably and I know some of y'all know how that very…

Pros
  • Runs small, take a 3X, had to reorder and get a 4X
Cons
  • Belt is cheaply made and falls apart quickly

Love this dress! in my review

Beautiful dress. Well made, a bit hard to iron. Made of cotton, so it wrinkles easy. Buttons where a bit off, but that was easy to fix. Size was pretty true to their measurements. I plan on buying more dresses from them.

Pros
  • Available in multiple colors and sizes to suit all preferences
Cons
  • Dress is not true to size, causing frustration when ordering online

Buy a size up if your big chested

This is a beautiful dress and it fits me perfectly! I absolutely adore it and will probably wear it to as many places I can! My only warning would be that you should buy a size up if your a double D or bigger like me

Pros
  • Ideal for a night out or special event
Cons
  • Dress lacks originality, looking like a copy of other vintage dresses

Great dress for Halloween!

I got the black and orange to wear to work this Halloween. It’s perfect! The quality is just fine for the price and I’m sure I’ll be able to wear it as my day dress on Halloween for several years. My weight fluctuates so much that I always have trouble with sizes but the sizing guide served me well. I’m a 36 (sometimes 38) bust and I wear a size 10 dress and a 12 in some things depending on the manufacturer. The size L fits great but I definitely would not want it to be any tighter in the…

Pros
  • Perfect for a summer day or vacation wardrobe
Cons
  • Material fades quickly after washing

Fits well except in bust.

I love this dress overall. The only issue is around the bodice. It has a nice sweetheart neckline but there's extra fabric there that I am planning to rip out. It is hard to make that part look nice either laying flat or tied. It'll be very nice once I do the removal.

Pros
  • Timeless piece that can be passed down through generations
Cons
  • Dress looks outdated, not modern

Super cute except for stain.

Super cute dress except gross stain on the way extra long white belt. Quality is ok. Got a size L, usually a medium but large chested. Fits well. Top part has a little stretch and skirt part is a woven. Haven't washed yet.

Pros
  • Clothing
Cons
  • Dress is not versatile, limiting styling options

Great style with a bit of stretchy material

Originally ordered the 2XL based on the waist measurement, but it was extremely large in the chest. I'm a 38B but wear size 14 pants and usually size 12 dress, since I am bottom-heavy. Returned it (very easy, almost instant refund, which was greatly appreciated) and ordered the XL, which was closer to my chest measurement, and while I was worried that the posted measurements were 1-2" smaller than what I measured at my smallest waist point, the stretch in the material made it fit comfortably…

Pros
  • Makes a great gift for vintage lovers or Hepburn fans
Cons
  • Dress is not suitable for women with broad shoulders

Ok for the price best in my review

When buying this dress few things: it runs large, it is very long, and if you have a waist then it hides it. It’s quality isn’t all that great and the belt doesn’t have a place to fit into, you just put it over the dress and hope it stays secure. While it was a good price, it was definitely "you paid for what you get” and therefore makes sense that the quality is so low.

Pros
  • Suitable for a wide range of body types and sizes
Cons
  • Length of the dress hits at an awkward spot for some women

Missing buttons - my new review

I love this dress but unfortunately the sleeves came missing without the buttons. I noticed it the day of when I had to wear the dress. I ended up removing the two buttons on the sleeves to make it the same. It was saddening as the buttons really made it pop.

Pros
  • Great for layering with cardigans or jackets
Cons
  • Dress does not provide adequate support for larger busts

Pretty good, could be better.

This dress is pretty, and a good price for the quality. I have a couple issues with the way it is made. First, the dress is cut where the waist hits right under my chest and i am only 5'3" and a B cup. and for a typical A line, the top part could be longer to be more flattering. I looks like it makes you shorter instead of longer. There is also a bit of a messed up seam on the skirt, but I sew and can fix that. The other problem is the belt. Its not really even a belt. Its a piece of fabric…

Pros
  • Fits perfectly on the waist and flares out to create a flattering silhouette
Cons
  • Fabric wrinkles easily, making it difficult to maintain an elegant appearance

Best petticoat you can buy

This is the best tulle petticoat you can find. The waist is smooth so your dress doesn't look lumpy or bulky. The tiers of tulle don't start until about 12 inches from the waist. It has the perfect amount of "fluff". I love it so much I bought it in both colors. I only wish I'd found these first, I have 2 others I never use now. This is great!

Pros
  • Provides full coverage and ample support without compromising style
Cons
  • Dress does not drape well on the body

but I liked this dress

Normaly I hesitate with ordering clothes online, but I liked this dress. I'm a big woman, my chest cavity is rather wide, so I tend to order a large size, and the 26 plus worked well! Fits like a glove!

Pros
  • super cute, & fits well. The belt is cheap, I threw it away.
Cons
  • Dress wrinkles easily

Ok for the money in my review

So the fit of this dress was a little off especially the chest part. It for but the line where the Polk a dots stops and black material starts is mid bossum for me the length is a little longer than expected. The material is cheap and when taking it off after trying it on the first time the side seam under the arm ripped open. I can fix it but still. It’s ok for the price especially for a rock a billy festival I’m going to. Will prob get a few uses out of it after I fix it so worth the money.

Pros
  • Swings beautifully to create a dramatic effect when dancing
Cons
  • Dress is not suitable for women with longer torsos

Cute dress for costume

Very cute dress, slightly loose on the top but a little snug around the waist. Good quality. Works great for a costume. Dress is not versatile for different occasions.

Pros
  • Perfect for a high tea, brunch, or picnic in the garden
Cons
  • Dress is not versatile for different occasions

Great fit! Looks fabulous on too!

I absolutely love the vintage "Audrey" style!For the price, it is actually more than I expected!Can't wait to wear it on my trip!

Pros
  • Fitted bodice accentuates curves in a flattering way
Cons
  • Material feels scratchy against the skin

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Cheap material and not for short women

The material is very thin and feels cheap, like a costume. Also, at 5'2" it doesn't fit length wise- buttons come up to chest and it is very long. But even with all that, it's still flattering when on.

Pros
  • Sure to become a wardrobe staple that you'll love wearing for years to come
Cons
  • Dress is not a good value for the price point
