Bbonlinedress Women Short 1950s Retro Vintage Cocktail Party Swing Dresses

I am a larger hourglass figure that normally wears a size 12-14 and the Large was the perfect size. I got this for my husbands best friends wedding and the color of the Dark Blue is exactly what I needed. He’s the best man so I want to look good with his suit but not match the wedding colors in Wine.The material is the sheer, polyester feel which I love, but it does wrinkle easily and doesn’t have a lot of stretch. I don’t mind these things, a good rinse and hang dry then a quick, light ironing on low heat usually does the trick with this kind of fabric. The hem is a bit long but the bust is perfect, especially with the holding stitch removed and the higher waist line and flared skirt hide my new mom belly really well. The capped sleeves make this perfect for most occasions. The zipper is a bit sticky so expect help to close the back.All in all, perfect for the occasion I bought it for and will probably become a staple in my wardrobe!

This dress is so cute on! Very comfortable, stretchy material, yet still form fitting on top. I ordered the petticoat to go under it but had no problem wearing it without the petticoat as well. I ordered a size Medium, it fit comfortably without being too tight. The only thing that could make this dress better is pockets! But overall, definitely recommend purchasing!

I’m 5’9” 180 lb with a long torso and small/medium bust. Ordered a Medium. I generally fit in medium dresses when they’re stretchy because size larges are usually too big in the bust for me. This is a size Medium in the photo. It’s pretty cozy up there in the chest because the material is not stretchy and it is zippered all the way up the back. I’m going to try a size large just for reference but I’m happy with the chest coverage in the medium.It’s very flowy in the waist which is nice for dinner events that might leave you normally trying to suck it in. NO POCKETS!!The zipper is not top quality so I can imagine if you’re not careful, it will break with too much force so trust the person zipping you up with all your heart. FYI, There is a band just under the cups that create an extra tuff of material that the zipper has to gently yet also firmly get over.I ordered a few white belts that might add some flare to that band nicely but can also be worn as is!Easy to dress up for a formal event (why I bought it) or throw on a Jean jacket and flats and go casual.Again material is stiff—no stretch, so it’s slightly restricted in the arm pits but not so much that I cant raise my arms. I’m happy with the arm pit coverage which is always a self conscious trigger for me. I’ll have to follow up with what it looks like when I sweat here…Overall, there are lots of mixed reviews on this one but I say take the risk and try it on. My husband seemed genuinely wowed when I walked in the room. The only thing that would make this a 5 star dress is POCKETS! And maybe a 1-2% elastic material blend for some breathing room.

I did return it, but it is a very well made and nice dress. I am 5'2 and the Torso part was extremely long on me. It would have fit beautifully if I was only taller!

Beautiful dress. It has a stitch that tacks the top part closed to cover a little more, but I found the bust area didn’t lay quite right with that tack, so I removed it. My husband said I looked like an old timey movie star with this dress and a crinoline petticoat. It was a very fun dress for the event we were going to. I would note that it wrinkles very easily, so be prepared to iron or steam it if you travel with it.

The dress looks like the picture. I thought the fabric quality was good. The stitching holding the overlap in the chest is oddly placed and makes it sit weird. I sized up to a large but wish I didn’t. The shoulders and chest area were large on me (which on my body is why I had sized up). The fabric is stretchy so you could probably size down. The wrinkles are hard to get out.It is light weight, a good length, and very comfortable. I love the look and I had a lot of difficulty finding something like this with nice coverage.

Absolutely perfect! Size is accurate. Beautiful color! Comfortable and stylish

The color is amazing in person. Absolutely stunning. I loved it. I just couldn’t find the right fit for me. One size wouldn’t zip up all the way but fit my chest area perfectly. The next size up zip shut but the chest area was massive. It sadly didn't work out but it was so worth just trying on. It was so soft too could have worn all day without any problems
