Review on Step Back In Time With VIJIV'S 1920S Vintage Gatsby Dress - Sequin Embellished And Fringe Adorned by Mark Sergio

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great for the relatively straight up and down Rubbish for the people with bust and hip curves

The GOOD: very pretty for an inexpensive party dress. The UGLY: These dresses are either not cut to standard sizes or are not cut with women who are curvy in the front and back in mind. I followed a customer review from a person that was curvy, weighted 179 lbs., and a few inches taller than me who ordered a medium. I weight 167 lbs. at 5'1" bust 36 C I am curvy and I could barely get this dress over my head. Further, I had to roll it down (with difficulty) over my bust to get it over the remainder of my body and still could not get the lining to come to the top of the fringe. After that workout, it puckered just above the waist in the back--all while wearing a very strong body shaper (I guess it was not strong enough to eliminate my bust and hips.) Unfortunately, this was a last minute emergency purchase. I like the dress but I would look like a sausage if I wore it. The medium would fit women who are straight up and down and would probably be flattering because the waistline is sewn in. IWARNING! Curvy women (with substantial curves at the rear hip and bust line or with a tummy) get at least one size larger than your NORMAL size. UPDATE: There is an invisible side zipper so getting it on was easy; zipping it closed over my bust line.well my original comments stand.
