TopdressWomen'sVintage Polka Audrey Dress 1950s Halter Retro Cocktail Dress

I LOVE IT! It's absolutely adorable and so flattering. I wear my 50s dresses with a quality petticoat to get the big flair in the skirt. This fabric is actually a good quality thickness though. So for those who don't wear petticoats, it could still look great.I usually have a problem with these dresses not being made for larger busts. I'm a 42DDD and this looks so great on me! The secret is the stretchy back! Beneath the lace-up back is very stretchy so it would give a flattering fit on a wide range of bust sizes. I'm wearing a strapless bra in the picture. I was afraid the back might be too low to hide it, but that's not a problem at all.The side zipper is, of course, clutch! No help needed to get in an out.I'm impressed with the fabric thickness. These are usually a very cheap fabric. This one is durable and absolutely no transparency. The top is even lined.I usually wear a 2x in normal women's cloths (or an XL in unisex shirts). I sized up to a 3X because that's always a good idea in these types of dresses. And it's a perfect fit. So I say size up one size for sure.I'm bookmarking this dress to order other patterns later! For now, though, I can't wait to wear this to Halloween brunch!100% recommend!UPDATE: My sister in law loves it so much, she ordered one for herself. Twinsies!UPDATE 2: Added some more pictures! Got to wear this out once already and got SO MANY compliments on it! Ordering it in red for Christmas! My friend who I had brunch with loved it so much she's ordering one too! We're going to convert them to straps though. Should be a simple sewing job. You also have the long belt as extra material if you need it. I'm going to make a matching headband for the Halloween one with the belt material.UPDATE 3: As promised, I bought it in red for Christmas. We just sewed the straps down in the back. I wore a bolero over it so we didn't pay much attention to making them look perfect. It was an easy job. again, I received a million compliments.I'm wearing it with the Malco Modes "Zooey" Chiffon Petticoat. "Zooey" is the fluff size I'm wearing. I tried a "Jennifer" but sent it back because it was too much puff. Invest in a good petticoat and you can buy all of these 50's dresses for cheap and they look amazing. The chiffon is also smooth and silky and not at all hot. And when the lace edge shows through, it's cute -- not obscene.Next wedding I get invited to, I'll be ordering one of the prints!

This dress is amazing! It gave me the exact look I was hoping for. Fits TTS, has some stretch and was great quality. I received so many compliments wearing it to a Halfway to Halloween event. Now I can’t wait for October to rock it again. Will definitely order this dress in more colors.

I dont usually order clothes from Amazon but this dress is really cute. It fits perfect. I bought it for my son’s wedding. I bought a size small . I’m 34D , 5’4”And weigh about 125 pounds. I bought it according to the sizes I saw on other reviews. The fabric is a little thicker than I thought it would be, but it’s made well. It hits right at my knees. It’s snug where it should be but overall the fit is perfect. I definitely will wash it in cold water and hang dry.

SIZE:I am generally in between sizes (in this case Medium and Large) but to err on the side of caution in accordance with other reviews, I ordered a Large. (For reference, my measurements are roughly 34-36" bust (I wear 34C or 36B bras depending on brand/fit), 28-31" waist depending on the day, 40-41" hips or so, and I'm 6'1" tall). I could probably have done just fine in a Medium; I can cinch the laceup in the back all the way tight in the large and I'm still by no means squished. The skirt falls just to my knee. Reasonably expected/flattering fit. Not too tight or too gappy/low cut in the chest. I couldn't get the removable waist tie to lay nicely in a bow without the fabric scrunching up, so I opted to have it as just a flat belt in the front and tie it in the back when I tried it on. I do think the tie gives it slightly more shape at the waist and makes for a nicer look. I bought a petticoat to wear underneath this based on other complaints that the skirt did not hang nicely otherwise, but being that I am just wearing it out to dinner and such, not as any kind of costume or theme thing, I found it kind of poofy and awkward looking with the petticoat; I like the look and the flattering lay of the dress without anything underneath.COLOR:I ordered the solid red. I was a little worried it would be a garish orange color, but I feel like it is true to advertised color. Brilliant bright red. No real complaints or concerns there; I would say overall I got what I ordered.QUALITY:Based on the product price, description, reviews, etc. The quality was about what I expected. The fabric is fairly stiff and not elastic but this is what I wanted and expected; I do not consider this a flaw. There were a few loose threads sticking out and such, which bothers a lot of people, but the structural integrity of the dress seems in tact and any loose threads or other minor defects seem removable or at least not distracting to the overall appearance. The dress did come very wrinkled (no shock there) but I would be CAREFUL ironing. The product description say you can iron it on low settings, but I attempted this and not only can I not get a lot of the wrinkles out, but I appear to have done some minor damage to the fabric. I think it is still wearable in public, but if you look too closely or in really good lighting, there are some spots where the fabric is a little bit shiny/discolored/heat damaged, even though I followed instructions, which is really unfortunate. The fabric is not sheer or abrasive/uncofortable on the skin, so no complaints there.Overall, so far, the dress is not flawless for sure, but I can't say I'm disappointed, either. I have not worn for more than a few minutes at this point, though, so I may add pictures or further details once I wear it to my Valentine's day date tonight :-)

Wary of poorly produced prints, I gave this one a try and it didn't disappoint. The pattern is bright and overall the dress is well made. There's a small side zipper, a corset-like laces on the back and the neck band so it was easy to adjust for me. I am 5'7 and 165 lbs, with smaller chest, so having all the adjustments to avoid chest gaps was nice. The belt band is not attached to the dress so it can be worn without it. The material feels nice and light and makes it a perfect summer dress. So far I didn't notice any issues with stitching. The only complaint I have that might be related to shipping / pre-shipping treatment is that when the dress arrived, the package was humid inside, with a bit of condensate. Based on the delivery times, it was in transit for about 24 hours, and the fabric is okay, but I am just not sure why this happened. So make sure to remove the item from the package promptly and not let it sit there for too long.

The dress was very cute but it honestly feels a bit unpleasant on the skin kinda like grandma's curtains... I'm still keeping it but it could be better for the price

The fabric was different and the shape of the dress is also different. This belongs on one of those "dress fail" internet posts.
