Review on Women'S Sweetheart Neck Floral Vintage Swing Dress 1950S Sleeveless With Belt by Jaime Collins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nice dress! Plus-size friendly

This is a really nice dress! I used it with a petticoat from Grace Karin ($15 on Best Buy). It was the perfect length for me at 5’3”. I like my dresses more true vintage length so it was about high-mid calf. Not too long in my opinion. Would definitely be closer to knee length on taller people. It fit well, maybe 1/2 inch tighter than I expected but not too small. I only didn’t like that the zipper was solely for the waist. The top of the side zipper ended at a strip of fabric that goes around the bust. It wasn’t a big deal but I didn’t expect that. I’m a US size 16-18, typically carry my weight in my lower tummy and upper arms and back a little bit. I would not recommend this dress to someone that doesn’t have a more "hourglass” or "pear” shape or has a very large bust and smaller waist as the waist is cinched in and most of the stretch is in the chest. I’m a 38/40C and you could not be larger than a D with that band size in the size I purchased (2x). My waist is 36” and there wasn’t much room there either in my opinion with the zipper, etc. Just some info to help you size if you’re about a size 16-20. There is a lot more fabric in the hips down so if you’re a pear shape this is also the type of dress for you!

Pros
  • This dress is extremely flattering, not at all sheer, very comfortable & fits my body very nicely.
Cons
  • Dress is cumbersome to wear
