Bbonlinedress Women Short 1950s Retro Vintage Cocktail Party Swing Dresses

This dress was exactly as I hoped. The quality of the fabric and stitching is good. In the 3rd picture you can see the lining in the bodice. It is very comfortable, snug around the lower ribs, waistline is just above my natural waistline, as most dresses of this style are. This means it doesn't squeeze at the waist, which is nice. I got a size small. I am 5'4, 123-ish pounds. I was concerned about the bodice with this style. I am a 34A and this style bodice usually doesn't fit real well no matter what. This fits but not as snug as I would like, but that is what I expected. It comes a bit low on me for my comfort so I put an insert in the neckline (first picture). I think it still looks nice, though. In the first picture I have a petticoat on underneath, in the second picture I do not. I think it looks good both ways, even without it. The blue color with the white dots looks great. Love the color. When I first put it on the seam at the bottom of the bodice was folded up and made the fabric look bunched up. When I figured out why it looked that way, I just folded the seam down inside and it is fine. I have not yet steamed this dress so the wrinkles you see are how it came out of the package, it has been hanging for a few days but that is it. Needs to be steamed but doesn't look too bad. The length is perfect, exactly what I wanted. I would definitely recommend this dress.

This dress is so cute and comfortable! I love the pockets and the material is flattering without being suffocating!

This is a very baby pink cute dress. The style is very flattering. This dress does not have pockets. It is comfortable and stylish. The fabric is a heavier feeling fabric with no stretch. I am 5’1” and 188 lbs and ordered a size 16.

Fits like a glove! True to size with wiggle room for us pear shaped girlies.

The dress fit great! Fabric was nice and had some give to it so even if I overate it would probably still be comfortable. I could move and breath fine and at no time felt like I was squeezing myself into a dress. The problem with it though was the zipper. It got stuck when I first tried it on and I shrugged it off because I was able to get it to function correctly and at first glance it didn't appear to be damaged. However the night of the event I bought this for, the zipper split open along the teeth. I was able to get it off and realigned twice but the 3rd time, as I was walking to the venue a few blocks away I felt it split again. I stopped in a bathroom to remove the dress and discovered that this time the zipper pull had completely snapped apart. Thankfully I had a shawl to cover the dress because there was no time to turn around. Concierge service was also great and provided me some safety pins. I'm giving stars because it was definitely pretty and the fabric itself felt sturdy. But the zipper was super cheap. Thankfully I know how to sew so I replaced the zipper myself rather than put myself through the headache of taking a 2nd chance of this happening again.

First, the skirt is not pleated like the photo shows. There is a strange little stitch in the middle of the bust that makes the fabric pucker out, but if you cut it your boobs will hang out. The fabric is a wierd polyester that is thick, heavy (not lightweigt at all), and scratchy making it uncomfortable for summer. I ended up returning it because of how awful the quality is.

Dress is classy and comfortable. It is quality fabric and well stitched. .

Size large was good. However I am a 36 DDD, 163 lbs and 5’6. It runs small if you have big boobs. I am getting married for the second time and is perfect. Just know if you have big boobs get a size larger. Quality is great and a nice material.

Vestito bellissimo, cade benissimo,ottimo tessuto, in cotone, taglia giusta. Lo consiglio sinceramente.

I bought the dress for an on-stage appearance, looking for a simple little black dress with a retro appeal. The fabric is good, sturdy quality cotton. The v-neck draped front is flattering and sexy, but not too revealing, and for middle-aged ladies like myself I prefer the litte wing-like short sleeves to spaghetti straps. The top of the dress covers bra straps perfectly well, even when dancing; always a plus. I bought 2X large, being a tall, statuesque person, and for me the waistline is a little to high up - or my torso is too long - but the dress fits fine and overall looks really cute. The elastic waistline makes changing without help easier (there is a long zipper in the back that takes some contortionist ability to zip completely by yourself) and makes for a very comfy outfit. Careful: when sitting down in hot weather and sweating, the fabric really crumples and will not hang back out without ironing.

Lovely dress. Fits very well, looks elegant

Colour was lovely , wasn’t over generous stretch in it , but fitted quite well on the body I’m a pear shaped body , so skimmed over body & was flattering on, length was well below knee & perhaps a little to long for me 5ft 1, but it was fine for what I needed it for .

Lovely dress - nice fit and well made. The waist is at a flattering height and there's actually enough room in the chest area without the dreaded gaping! I would usually go for a 16, (14 at a push) and found the 2XL fits perfectly. It's the second dress I have from this seller and have been very happy with both.
