GownTownWomen's 1950s Cloak Two-Piece Cocktail Dress

Shopping for a simple Mass ceremony dress for my upcoming wedding, and wanted something simple yet chic. The sweetheart neckline is to die for. The material is actually thicker than I expected, with medium stretch, so very forgiving. I'm 5'4", 124 lbs, 34A cup. I initially bought a medium, but it was too big in the hips and waist. The small fit like a glove. The little shawl is adorable, but a little difficult to do the button (perhaps of my fat fingers? lol). The skirt has a bit of flair; you may be able to get away without a petticoat with the fit-n-flare silhouette. the white is a big see-through though, so will be wearing a nude or white strapless corset. Overall can't beat the price for such an adorable dress! Happy shopping!

The size was too big, so I returned it and ordered one Size down,but I appreciate your prompt response.After ordered the one size smaller One and fits my daughter perfectly!She loves it and wears it to every concert.Thank you very much.

It’s really comfy and super cute!! However it smells like mildew? That can be fixed though I’ll wash it!!

On short notice, I needed a "vintage"-flavored cocktail dress for a themed party and didn't want to spend too much money in case I only wore the dress once. This dress ended up being nice enough that I'll probably wear it again, though I'll have to make a few alterations before I do.Quality: 3.5 stars. I feel like I got more than what I paid for. The fabric is heavier than I expected so it drapes well, and has a good stretch and feel to it, which I like. As mentioned in another review, there's no lining, so I'd recommend wearing a slip or shapewear if you're concerned about smooth lines. All of the seams are finished but most are single stitched, which meant I wasn't surprised when I found a few loose threads. The capelet is nicely constructed. I washed the dress and capelet on cold/delicate and hung to dry, and it came out with no signs of wear.Fit: 4 stars. At 5'8" with 41-36-47 measurements, that put me between an XL and L on the size chart. I ordered both and ended up going with the L due to the stretch in the fabric. I'd have given the fit 5 stars, but a couple of the design details took away a star. The dress was about an inch longer than my standard below-the-knee crinoline, so to get the pop of color peeking out under the skirt like I wanted, I ended up pinning the dress up at the waist to shorten its overall length. The shoulder straps were also problematic because the outer straps kept falling down. I temporarily solved this by sticking them to a little strip of dressing tape I put on the top of my shoulders. The tape also helped prevent the capelet from spinning around every time I lifted my arms.Style: 5 stars. I received many compliments about this dress. It's easy to accessorize (I added a red fascinator, belt, gloves, crinoline, and shoes). The fit and flare design accentuated my curves while the capelet covered my problem area upper arms. It definitely needs a crinoline underneath to get any fullness at the bottom. I was able to wear my regular strapless bra and had no problem with it poking out while dancing.Overall, I will wear this dress again. It's a solid purchase for the price. Note that you may need to order a mid-calf length crinoline if you want it to show underneath, and dressing tape is a quick fix for the slippery straps and twisty capelet.

Fit well worth the money the fabric is nice and sturdy loved it

Dress was beautiful. It fitted perfectly and I would buy it again

I took a gamble on this dress but it was a big win for me. The dress has stretch to it so sizing is really easy/flexible but it was true to size. It was so comfortable and hugged all the right spots for a really nice fitted look without being uncomfortable or showing off any problem areas. I never get dresses this awesome or fit so well when I shop online - definitely a dress lottery moment there. The dress is perfect as-is, but would also look great if you wanted something casual without the cape and it is not attached. Would go great with a petticoat under it too, but it had enough flare for me without. I ordered red and it is a perfect red, not washed out in an orange hue or anything. I think this is my new favorite dress.

The waist seam on the dress is just too bad for me to keep so I am returning it. The material felt fine, albeit wrinkly from shipment, but the seam is ruining it for me.The dress fit comfortably so I know it wasn't a sizing issue.

I was pleasantly surprised by how sturdy the dress fabric felt as my expectations were low. The dress fits well and the fabric is stretchy & comfortable. I absolutely adore the little capelet and will use it with other sleeveless shirts & dresses.

Es vestido esta muy bien y es de buena calidad. La tela es algo elástica así que puede ajustar en caso se haber elegido una talla menor. El mío quedó grande pero ya compré otro en la talla correcta.

Exactly what I needed with a great fit!

My daughter specifically wanted this dress for her high school graduation. She wore it and looked lovely. It is made of good quality material and fit was perfect.

Perfect fit
