Women Vintage 1950s Dress Cocktail Dresses

I love, LOVE this dress! I'm 5'3' 198 lbs, chest 44G and wear 14/16. I ordered size XXL, so the sizing is correct. I'm often uncomfortable in semi-formal dresses because of my chest, so I'm pleased to not have cleavage showing. It actually fits over my head so I don't have to zip it up in the back(which I was having trouble doing). I tried a petticoat with this, but the difference was minimal, so I won't need one. It's a comfortable fabric, not necessarily stretchy, but not stiff or heavy either. I can move, sit, stand comfortably in it, and it has pockets. I'm on the fence about the belt, not sure the dress needs it, there are no belt loops anyway. I bought this for a late October wedding and I'm sure I'll wear several other fall & winter events.

I bought this in a pinch and was so pleased with the result. This cut can make anyone look good, also the color was amazing. Yes the material is perfect for summer weather and the user might get cold if worn in winter. Beside that, get a good twirl on.

This is a really cute dress. I got it to wear to my company's fall social event, and got many compliments on it. It fits true to size, and is overall comfortable. The fabric is not quite as nice as I would expect from something that's mostly cotton. What's worse, in my opion, is that the chest area has a polyester lining (so the I dont think the dress isn't really 95% cotton, as advertised). The fabric itself is reasonably solid and not at all see through, so I'd have rathered they leave off the polyester. The pockets are great, and easily replace a small purse. I fit a full size phone and wallet in one, and keys, swipe card reading glesses, and sunglasses in the other. The skirt is a nice midi length. The cap sleaves are cap sleeves. They are a bit restrictive, but really not too bad for normal daily movement. I got it on sale for $20, and it is a good value at that price. At its norma $40, whether it's a good value depends on how picky you are about fabric, and how you feel about a dress that really is only for October...

SUPER CUTE dress! I love how it flares out and has such a flattering waist. I wore this to a birthday tea party and it was perfect! I also has pockets, which is always fun. I did have to steam it to get rid of wrinkles before wearing it. I think this is the kind of dress you can wear for many occasions and it will always look very classy. I’m 5’4” and about 120lbs and got a size small, which fit perfectly. I think the medium would have been too big.

Perfect dress for my outfit at my nieces Barbie party. Very comfortable and true to size. I am 5’2” and 160 pounds and the M fit was perfect.

Wow! This dress fit me perfectly! How often does that happen?! I’m 36B with a ribcage that is a little large for my height, waist 29-30, 5’2 1/2 tall. The size Medium fit perfectly and didn’t show any of my flaws (a bit of belly pooch). The color is called mint, but looks like the photo in that it is a pretty aqua color. My husband wants me to buy another in a different color as well! The fabric is GREAT and it is well made. I did have to steam iron it before wearing, but that is expected.

Fabric not good enough

This dress is so beautiful and surprisingly very comfortable, I bought a size large. My boyfriend is obsessed with this dress and so am I, it’s a perfect dress for Easter Mass (or any) with it being very modest, and if you wear a veil like I do it goes wonderfully. My chest is size 38DD and it fits nicely in that area with no bra needed. I’m 5 feet tall and weigh 155lbs, the dress is slightly flowy on its own but in the picture I am wearing a petticoat tulle under and that’s what I recommend. There’s almost no stretch to the fabric since it’s mostly cotton, but the quality of it is great for the price. I would also recommend steam ironing since it can get a little wrinkled, or nothing a delicate setting wash can’t fix.
