Review on Knitee Women'S Retro 50S 3/4 Sleeve Ruffle Square Neck Business Cocktail Pencil Dress by Tiffany Williams

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Flattering cut, unflattering and really cheap polyester fabric

This is a surprisingly flattering dress (especially for us size XL ladies). The cut is nice. I wish they could make the same dress in a better fabric. I don't mind polyester at all and it has come a long way overall, but not this. This feels like that old kind of harder/crinkly polyester from the 70s. That is why I'm taking two stars off. I would wear this a number of times if the fabric was nicer, but, especially for a cocktail dress (so you are going to wear it at nicer events and outings) I'm just not sure I want anyone to see me up close in it. In pictures, it works, but if someone were about to brush against the fabric or even see it up close, it takes away from the cute cut. The fabric feels more like a $20 dress. I don't even need any expensive fabric. I have more than a handful of affordable dresses from amazon at this $40 mark or lower, with much better fabric. I'm okay with the markup for the more unique design, but the fabric just might rule this dress out for me for most events. :(Beyond the fabric, you will need to think about what bra to wear because straps will show from a normal bra, but that's acceptable for such an interesting cut. I'm pretty sure everyone will also need to wear shapewear in this dress, no matter your size, as the fabric easily shows every imperfection. I also get that not every dress has pockets and this one would be tougher too, but it'd be awesome if they could fit even one pocket on the right side maybe, behind or within the ruffle. I didn't take any points off for this, but it'd be nice if there's ever a remake of this dress.With a pocket and nicer fabric, this dress could easily be worth $60-$80 and would be one of my favorites. Depending on your event or how much you care about the feel and look of fabric, this could still be a great dress for you worth considering.
