Simple Flavor Women's Floral Vintage Dress Elegant Midi Evening Dress 3/4 Sleeves

Hello fellow shopper,From my lived experience there’s rarely a clothing item that feels so bespoke “off the rack”. So rare, I cannot recall the last time I had such an experience.We’re getting awfully close with this one.AND it’s from Amazon at a low price? Stop.Quick facts about author:Demographic- 40’sBody type- Apple (all bust and belly)Dimensions- Height 5’2 (157cm) Weight 200 (90kg)Fabric: Not too bad. Not too bad at all.Now, I haven’t field tested this dress. Only a try on. No washing experience…Material and seams aren’t a sensory nightmare.The material is synthetic feeling but not bothersome (hot humid might be a problem- when isn’t it?).Stretchy material gives “freedom with structure” vibes. We shall see. You know how things can get floppy. I would be surprised if that was the case here but maybe.Weight is medium.Swingy not clingy.Twirl 8.5/10.Silhouette:Fit and flare adds “shape” to the “shapeless”.The shoulder has personality that brings balance.The neckline is Goldilocks sweet- not too high or low, not too wide or tight.Waist is defined and the skirt flows out beautifully.For my body everything lines up right.Reception:Mirror told me I was the fairest of them all.Husband said I looked like a Mennonite.I thought he’d go more mid-century retro housewife, but I get it.*Modest fashion approved!*Last notes:• Pockets are indeed present and adequate.• I slipped it on over my head with no need to fuss about the zipper.• What would I get altered? The sleeve openings and possibly the length. I am debating.My forearms aren’t particularly robust compared to other bits. These sleeves are generous below the elbow.As mentioned in my “about me” section above, I’m 5’2. The dress lands about mid-calf. I could see taking it up to just below the knee.Important disclosure:The color and pattern might have me hypnotized.Is dark navy with reddish-pink pattern the real star here?Would this dress in a solid light color be nearly as magical?I suspect it would not.If money and time were of no consideration I could try on other patterns and let you know with more certainty.Gut instinct tells me this particular pattern is “it”.Hence my selection.To each their own!For me, the color/print combo were the most put-together and flattering. Upon arrival I was not disappointed in the least.If anything, I instantly wanted to buy a whole wardrobe of this dress :)Off to research other patterns and similar dresses by this brand.Good luck on your shopping journey.Ps- I do NOT like shopping and wish clothes just appeared as they do for my family ;)

This dress fits true to size. I’m 5’4” 160 lbs. wearing a size medium. It’s modest but not matronly. The color is beautiful. Material thickness is heavier than I expected it’s light weight but not thin. It has a little bit of stretch that makes it very comfortable

The things I really like about this dress are, first of all, it looks great, the print is beautiful, I love the style, this dress is very flattering, and I also love that it has pockets, huge bonus for me. I am 5ft 2in, 137 lbs. 36-D bra size. I ordered this dress in a medium, it does fit and it looks great, but it is a little tight at the waist. I does fit me a lot better when I wear shape wear underneath. It looks like it fits perfect. A large may have been better for my size though, but I worry a large would look too big, and not as fitted (I don’t know because I haven’t tried the large). The dress is mid-calf length on me, which I think is perfect. This dress does have two downfalls for me, both of which I might not have if I had gotten the large instead of medium, but I once again, I don’t know because I have not tried it on in a large. The first is that it was very tricky to zip up, I could not zip it up myself, I had to get my spouse to zip it for me. The other downfall for me is that I do have slightly limited range of motion in my shoulders and upper arms in this dress, it does not fit me quite right in the underarm area, which does limit my arm movements a little. For the most part this is not a problem because most of the time I am going someplace that I need to be dressed nice, I don’t need to move my arms that much, but it would make it hard to hold a baby or toddler, or dance, and it also makes it so it would be hard for me to wear to work. I would say the quality of this dress is medium, it is not a super high quality fabric, but it is not low quality either. The fabric is thin, but not see through, and I have no complaints about the quality of fabric or the stitching. Overall, I am very pleased with this dress, it is beautiful, very flattering, and very good deal for the price.

Wore it for a vintage photo shoot. Probably could have got a size smaller but it worked. It’s really comfortable and has pockets. Can be dressed up or down. It’s not see through. I hung and steamed it to get the wrinkles out. I think most things have an odd smell when you order them online but it wasn’t anything awful.

Very cute dress but contrary to others, I found the top and waist too stretchy and big. I am 5’6”, between 130-135lbs, with a small waist so it would look better on me if it were more fitted. Love the pockets! Wish it came in an extra small.

I am so happy I found this dress for a wedding and a graduation that I need it for. It is a beautiful dress that fits me well and it is very comfortable and modest. I bought a size large I usually wear a medium. I’m 5’4” 145 lbs. I don’t have a thin waist or torso. I have a little bit of a tummy to hide. It fits well in the breast, I am 38b. I like the pockets in the dress and the fabric has a little stretch to it. I like the thickness of the fabric and it’s comfortable. I want to buy more colors of dresses in this style because I like it so much! It has a zipper in the back. It has a waist band and it is a little lighter weight fabric than my blue and white one.

A very beautiful dress that flatters the body. You can take a smaller size because the fabric stretches, but it's usually between M and L

Great length- has pockets!

The package said large. The dress said nothing. No tag, so I don't know if it's a packaging mistake. It fit like a small, thereby making it unwearable. Otherwise it was pretty nice. The fabric is kind of satiny and light. Too bad about the sizing!

Lindo color y la tela de buena calidad

Good fit true to size skirt hangs well

Happy with this dress.
