GownTownWomens 1950s Vintage Retro Party Swing Pocket Rockabillty Stretchy Dress

My bridesmaids looked beautiful in these dresses ! Most importantly , comfy ! A petticoat is a must with this look :)

I was hoping for a more fitted fit to the dress and it was a bit bigger than anticipated. I'm a size 18. TOTALLY OKAY WITH ME! It is SUPER COMFY and so cute! At the party I fell in the dress trying to set up a camera with a timer and the dress rolled with it. I bought a petticoat to go under it and it really made the outfit (was a Clue party). I will definitely use this in the future for other events! If you look at the pictures and see me on the floor, that was me dead... I was Mrs. Boddy. :)Link for petticoat: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B011QIX7L8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1Link for hat/facinator: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0185NAR9M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Absolutely loved everything about this dress! Needed something that would come quick and require little to no alteration. True fit. Stretchy (XL). Very easy and elegant.

I bought the dress for a 50's inspired party we had but I also wanted to buy a dress that i can wear for other formal ocassions. This one fits the bill. It is not too costume-y. I liked the vibrant blue color of the dress and it is made of stretchy material so you have room to breath and is very forgiving. After reading ALL the reviews I decided to buy 1 size down. Normally I buy a large because i have wider shoulders but the testimonies made it seem that the fabric will stretch for me. And it did! The medium worked very well. Thank you other ladies for the very honest reviews. I also never ever write reviews but this purchase inspired me. I am 5'2, 21 shoulders, 39 bust, 34 waist. Since the bottom is a very room, the hips didn't matter. At the party, I got a lot of compliment from other ladies and I urged them to buy one too because i think it can fit many body shapes. It has a lot of swing and fun to dance around in. The ribbon at the back can also help adjust if a person has a more narrow shoulder. To add more volume to the dress, I wore it with a petticoat also from Amazon. Also, put a belt on to cover the seams. Hope this review can help someone make a decision. PS: I also bought two other dress designs from other companies here, but this particular one is the best fitting one.

I bought this for a wedding. It looks like the picture, but in my opinion, the picture looks better than the actual item. It looks cheaply made. The fabric is very stretchy but also thin. The arms are a bit narrow at the opening. None of that is terrible, but the deal breaker for me was the lining. The entire dress is unlined with the exception of the chest area. That would be ok except the lining basically only covers the shoulders and neck area, and stops before the breasts. The effect is that the area around the breasts are lined and a deep pink and the area covering the breasts is thin and sheer. A slip wold not help this because no matter what, the pink lining makes the dress look pinker in only those areas. A black or nude or white slip wont have the same affect. This was very obvious and would not work for a wedding and wedding pictures. My sister opted to keep hers bc it's cute and she can wear a sweater with it. I returned mine.

***Update - I stretched the sleeves out on the end of the ironing board and ironed them. This made the sleeves looser and the whole thing lay better. My daughter wore it to her party and receive tons of compliments. I also noticed that the seam wasn't sewn properly in a couple of places. I'll probably just fix it myself.*** I ordered this dress for my 15 year old daughter. She loves it, I wish it fit a little better. We ordered the light blue and the color is very pretty. The material is very stretchy and she loves how soft and comfortable it is. It is light weight but not so thin that you can see through it. I'm worried about how it will look after washing, especially since it says to steam instead of iron. The fit is just okay. My daughter is a size smaller on top than on bottom and has smaller shoulders so I'm sure the fit has a lot to do with her shape. The sleeves are shorter than we expected and a pretty tight since she has large arms for her size but they are stretchy enough that it's okay. The main issue is that it is a little large through the shoulders and it is causing it to gape in front of the neck but she likes it well enough to overlook it. She is 5'4" and the dress comes a few inches below her knees. I put that the dress "fit as expected" because it was a little small in some places and a little large in others. If you are larger on bottom than top, don't size up unless you have fairly broad shoulders. If you have issues with clothes being too big in the shoulders, it will probably gape a little in the neck area. Overall, it is a very pretty dress especially for the price, she is just hard to fit. We ordered it for my daughter to wear to a themed party and she is very happy with it, so that is what matters! We might try different styles in this brand.

Loved it!!!!!!!
