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

WOW! I had been looking at this dress for over a month and couldn't decide which pattern to get, the polka dot or the floral. In the end, I bought both, and I have absolutely no regrets! Not only are the patterns beautiful, but the dress is also well-made and of great quality. It is true to size, very flattering, and comfortable,not too tight, so you can move around easily while wearing it. For reference, I am 5'9", 186 pounds, and I ordered a Medium. The fit was exactly what I was hoping for. The dress accentuates your shape without feeling restrictive, making it both elegant and comfortable to wear. Overall, this purchase was definitely worth it. If you're trying to decide between patterns, I can honestly say you can't go wrong with either one. I loved it so much that I ended up buying both patterns!

Hi all. I have had this dress for 3 years now and it has been my FAVORITE and my go-to dress that I’ve worn (and washed) so many times that it’s quite possibly TOO many times as it is a frequent in my photo collection lol but seriously, the fit is so stinking cute, the quality is AMAZING as it has held up through excessive use the past 3 years with no problems - no rips/stitch issues, no pilling, only the SLIGHTEST fading of the black (sunflower dress) which is nothing. No dry cleaning, I’ve washed it and hot cold, all of the washing, only thing I’ve had to do is iron the belt (steamer works just fine) as it has gotten twisted up in the wash a few times. The back has ties like a corset that you can use to tighten or loosen, and creates a super cute look on the back as well. In addition, I get compliments on the dress every time I wear it. I am ordering another!

Got this dress for a tea. It is so fun and cute. Flattering on the shape with a corset type top and flair skirt. Just the right length, hitting just at the top of the knee for me and I’m 5’7. The red roses really stood out and the fabric is quality while being the perfect weight for summer.

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 :-)

I love this dress! It is very flattering for curvy bodies. Super cute on and very comfortable. Got so many compliments! Well made and really nice quality!

This dress is so pretty and fit me so well, until… it stretched out so much as the day progressed! I suggest sizing waaaay down so that it just fits. I’m a 40-35-41 and got an XL.

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 so nice! I hesitated at the price, but it was too cute to pass up. The material is sturdy and comfortable, not that nylon stuff, and the fit is just right. The corset-style back makes sure it's just right and is adorable.
