Review on πŸ‘— Kiyonna Women's Whimsy Dress Black: Stylish Suiting & Blazers for Women by Maurice Arnold

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A classic dress that is worth its price and worth trying!

I was looking for a dress for a gala dinner on a cruise ship. I didn't want anything flashy or shiny. I just wanted something simple and classic. I'm 51 and it's time for me to wear something sophisticated and comfortable. After looking at the photos that people kindly added to their reviews (thanks) I decided to give it a try. I'm 5ft 2in, 40 DD, 45 waist, 54 hips and 214 lbs so yes, plus size and curvy lol. I ordered a navy blue size 2X. I highly recommend this dress. It flatters the figure, while the tie at the side tightens and defines the waist. The fabric is very soft and very stretchy, it's so comfortable I sleep in it. Since I'm not tall, the hem was about mid-calf on me. When I put on 3 or 4 inch platform shoes the dress looked much better. The ruffled hem turned out surprisingly very cute. When I walk it kind of wobbles which makes it a lot more interesting. Although I was a bit disappointed when I first tried it on. How the hell do I tie that thing?! LAUGH OUT LOUD. There is a small hole on the side of the dress through which one end of the belt can be threaded. Pass it through the inner opening and wrap the sash around your waist at the back and side of the dress. A belt connected to the pleated part of the dress can be tied to it. In fact, all real wrap dresses work like this, but the little hole was hidden so well I couldn't find it lol. I am attaching a photo that may help you understand how a wraparound binding works.
