50 s Style Mod Art Print Cotton Sundress Dress
Could be better.... - I ordered this dress for a family member who lives overseas and saw it online. When I received the dress, I found it looked a bit cheapy for the price. It is a cute design with nice colors but the fabric and construction made it look more like a $20 dress. Nothing against $20 dresses but I think this is where this particular item should have been priced.
A few alterations here and there... - I purchased this dress in the pink/navy. I m 5 2/110 and typically wear a size 2. The dress fit well in the bust unlike other reviewers seemed to experience, but I don t have much of a bust...at all. So the top of the dress being padded was not a problem for me at all and I thought it enhanced my tiny bust quite nicely.The problem for me was that I felt the dress was just a touch too long (it fell about an inch below my knee and the skirt was a little too poofy for my small frame. It would have been OK, but I had a few alterations to fix that because I really do like the funky pattern.The straps of the dress are adjustable which does make it seem a little cheap, but it was helpful for me for the fit. I don t think the material or anything seemed cheap to me. It s cotton and lined.Overall, I liked the dress. It just took a little work to get there.Also, the shipping was SUPER FAST!! :)
Nice Design, Poor Excecution - I found this garment to be poorly constructed and cheaply made. The bust line was so ill fitted that I couldn t even fully get into the dress. The padded bust coupled with the poor fabric choice wouldn t allow the dress to lay flat. I love the IDEA of the dress, it is a flattering style for a woman with curves, but when you have curves the quality of the garment is crucial. They missed the mark on this one.
Weird dress ... pretty colors - While I kept this dress (which I bought in the pink and navy), it is definitely not at all what it seems to be in the description or picture. It s a very thin cotton material with a similarly thin lining. The bad thing about it is that it has a PADDED bust (which I m pretty sure was NOT indicated by the description and makes a huge difference). As I am a D cup and this dress, even in a larger size (which I bought because I typically have problems with the bust and don t mind some room in the body area) I m pretty sure it would not sit right on anyone above a B cup (and anyone above a B cup really has no business wearing a dress without a bra, or at least it s not practical). Because I liked the colors so much (they are pretty, bright and unique), I took the time to alter the dress myself and take the padding out (which was relatively easy to do because of the design), but I don t recommend buying it if you don t like padding, sewing or paying someone to sew! That being said, the service was great and fast! I was not displeased with anything, but disappointed that it was a little different from what I expected and what it appears to be in the picture. I d recommend they use actual models to give a better and more realistic idea of what the dress looks like on a human being. It would definitely put it into perspective.
