Review on Women'S Vintage 1950S Floral Rockabilly Swing Prom Cocktail Dress by Tracy Martin

Before I review anything I like to wait to see how the item holds up. According to my order history, I purchased this dress on June 2nd and it arrived on June 14th. I don't remember why it took so long to receive. I didn't need it right away and didn't have a specific event in mind, but it was a lightning deal. At the time the dress was $26.99 and the deal took $7.00 off. I'm a relatively frugal (read cheap a$$) shopper and I figured for the price and the return policy available, I couldn't go wrong. By the time I received it, I had forgotten I ordered it but was very excited when I realized what it was. It was packaged in a plastic bag and was neatly folded. I used a garment steamer to get the creases out of it and tried it on.I'm 5' short/tall and about 135 lbs and fairly curvy. The dress is medium and is pretty fitted on me so if you prefer a more relaxed look you may want to order a larger size. Overall I would say the fit is true to size. The material is not uncomfortably thick and not thin. I would say the material is sturdy and hold its shape really well so the skirt has a full look to it, just like the image shown. The elasticity makes it very comfortable to wear even with it being fitted. I loved the length, which is rare for me because I generally need to hem my dresses.I decided to wear it to the morning-after wedding breakfast of my son and daughter-in-law. We live on opposite coasts so the dress had been packed in a suitcase. I used a travel steamer and was able to easily get the ceases out. The style of the dress and the fabric pattern has a 50's vibe to it so I chose to wear it with black patent leather pumps, but this dress would be adorable with black flats too. This dress is super versatile and can be paired with various accessories to fit the occasion.I have noticed the price has gone up to $29.99 and while my cheap self wouldn't have ordered it before, now that I know how well made it is, I would definitely have purchased it. If I wasn't so cheap, I'd most likely purchase it in another pattern. If you're undecided I recommend making the purchase. It's flattering, comfortable, and well made so it should last several seasons. I feel like I got an awesome deal with this dress and am thrilled with my purchase!
