Review on DEARCASE Women'S Long Sleeve Maxi Dress Crewneck Loose Plain Casual Empire Waist Long Dresses With Pockets by David Carter

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Keeping it in my review

Me:A 28 year old female with a history of disliking shapeless maxi dresses, and an obsessive Ebay clothing window shopper. I spend a lot of time looking at reviews before committing to anything-- and more often than not, an item just sits in my wish list for a year before I decide it's not worth it. 5'6" (maybe 5'5", but I'm optimistic) and 145 (also optimistic :-P) maybe 37-29-39The material:Thin. I was hoping to keep warm during the rainy winter this year, so I bought a dress that hopefully will cover all of my body and keep me warm. I hoped to slide another maxi skirt underneath it, but every crease shows through. I might wear a slip instead (or put the maxi skirt on top of this one). What I'm saying is, is that you need something, or else every dimple on your backside will be visible in the right light. Because it's loose, you'll probably be fine walking around most of the time, but I'm confident that in the right light. or with the right tug of the fabric, people behind you will see butt texture.The size:I'm a medium in tops, and a large on bottom. Based on the reviews/information, I chose a large, which is a little too big. I'd say that I should have gone with a medium, but I still like the way this looks, and with a belt, it's pretty nice. My hesitation to get a medium is that the fabric is already thin, so any stretching would show more detail than it already does. Also, this dress comes with pockets, but I imagine that you could see most objects you put in them, tugging parts of the fabric down or pointing out of the fabric. Maybe a little wallet, but my phone makes the dress hang weird.The fit:I hate baggy dresses on me. Due to my shape, it's easy to look frumpy in maxi dresses. However, I don't hate this. In fact, I rather like it with a belt. It's actually the second maxi dress I've liked enough to buy.The warmth:It's not going to keep you warm in the winter, but would pair well with a structured denim jacket or blazer. Plus, you could wear leggings or really warm socks underneath (the leggings might help with the see through nature of the fabric, too).Verdict?I'll keep it. and see how well it holds up. If it does well (and hopefully shrinks a little), I'll get another one :)

Pros
  • You can easily dress it up or down, making it suitable for any occasion from a casual brunch to a formal event
Cons
  • May not be suitable for individuals with a defined waistline
