HanpceirsWomen's Cap Sleeve 1950s Retro Vintage Cocktail Swing Dresses with Pocket

I bought this dress (and the corresponding fascinator) for a derby themed day we held at my office. For reference, I am 5’6, 203 pounds, but my bust is a 38G. That said, I bought this in a large, and were my chest smaller it would have fit perfectly.That said, it took some maneuvering, but I did get it to fit and I’m happy I didn’t go up a size because I love the way it created a cinched waist and flared at the bottom. The length was perfect for an office setting and the color is exactly as pictured. I got so many compliments on the entire look, but the dress is a classic style.It also came darned at the bust, which I was extremely grateful for. I have seen some reviews where ladies have removed the darn, and I likely will to wear outside of the office, but I am thankful it came with it already stitched together. Beautiful dress, I love it.

As noted on the listing, these dresses run tight in the chest. I ordered a L after following the size guide and couldn't zip it up. I bought it as a lightning deal, so I didn't really want to return the item and buy a larger size at full price. I sent out a message to the seller and they sent me an XL and let me keep the L. A+ customer service! I've just tried on the large and it looks great. The fabric is a little stiff, but that's to be expected to keep the flair in the skirt. This librarian is very happy with her dino dress and can't wait to wear it to work!

I’m a connoisseur of vintage fashion, so that’s where my review is based.First the good- the fabric is much sturdier than I’d dared hope for, with a lot of stretch to it. The seams are well done, lined up, & finished. The zipper appears to be decent and installed well. It also has POCKETS!!! Yea!Now for the not so good- It has a VERY high waistline. Like just under the bust. Almost like a babydoll dress waistline. And I say this as someone with a naturally high waistline.It also has a 3” wide waistband of extra fabric bisecting the dress that will make wearing a belt with it (as was typical with this style of dress) awkward or impossible without looking strange. Not sure why.It is NOT a full circle skirt. Don't try to fit a full vintage style petticoat underneath. One of the cheap ones you find on here will work fine. It requires one to look good.Now for the infuriating- The size chart is ABSURD. I have a 35” waist. According to their chart, I’m between an XL & 2XL. I went with the XL knowing it had some stretch & people saying it runs large. It’s MASSIVELY too big! The waistband measures a flat 19”, total 38” with NO stretching! The rest absolutely SWIMS on me too! I have a 36D bust for reference.WHY is it so absurdly difficult for them to get their own measurements correct?!!? Women carry their weight so differently that height/weight doesn'tmatter nearly as much as waist/inseam/sleeve length.

This is super cute! Can be worn as is with sandals for a brunch or dressed up with a tulle petticoat and pumps. And it has pockets!! Just buy one, already. Medium fits great! I'm 5'6", 135 lbs, D cup

I recently purchased this dress for a church tea party! I’m glad I choose this dress, I’m 5’5 about 155lbs and bought a Large. I’m a breastfeeding mom so I also had room to breastfeed. It was beautiful and comfortable. And I also won best dressed!!

Loved this dress, Fitted everywhere but the bust area. That is the only reason for the 4 stars. Returned

This dress is SO beautiful and comfortable. Makes me feel like a Sunflower 🌻 I strongly suggest getting a size up from what you would normally wear just to give yourself a little room because it FITS and hugs every curve but it's JUST right.

Didn't quite look the way it does on the picture
