HanpceirsWomen's Cap Sleeve 1950s Retro Vintage Cocktail Swing Dresses with Pocket

Hi! Look at me.... I have lost over 115 pounds, and met my goal, so I thought I'd treat myself to a pretty new dress. Mom always said yellow was a great color for me, and I believe it! I usually never have a photo for my reviews, but this dress was SO nice, I just had to include one so you guys could see for yourselves.First off, it is a nice light cotton dress, perfect for hot summers here in Florida! I'm sorry I did not iron it before the photo--- I took it out of the packaging and put it on right away! I know when I iron it, it is going to be even more gorgeous! The cotton is not heavy, but not thin and cheap either. See how the bodice is made, with that pretty pleated overlapping sewing they did? It's beautiful!There is a zipper at the back. A very nice cute little dainty yellow colored zipper pull, to match the dress. Stitched in perfectly! I have lost enough weight that I am now able to pull the zipper pull most of the way up, then reach over my shoulder and finish the zip! For comparison, I am a 55F, 5'4" inches tall, and I now weigh 175lbs, and Amazon's size chart recommended the size 2x for me, which was almost a perfect fit. Just a wee bit too big. I am sure that when I put my shape-wear on, and buy one size smaller, this dress will be a perfect fit! As it is, it's pretty enough that I can wear it a little bit loose, that is ok!ANNNND------ IT HAS POCKETS, LADIES! POCKETS!!I was SO freakin happy to discover pockets!! They are deep enough to hold my iPhone 12. I'm happy!Also, the pleating is nice. I know once I iron it, it will look amazing. I bet if you got one of those--what do they call it?--a petticoat? It you wore one of those underneath, it would really make this dress flare out like it was meant to flare. Like the way dresses flared in the 50's! I love that mid-century look!Let's see. What else? The length. It was right below my knee, not too short, not too long. Perfect with a pear of kitten heels, or some pretty sandals.I am absolutely impressed with the bodice part though. I've been a large woman all my life, until recently, and I'm still learning what styles fit me best. I lost the weight really fast, and I've always struggled to find stuff that would fit, especially when it came to fitting my chest size. But this dress, look at how amazing it looks. AND it comes in other colors too, some have patterns. I think the plain colors really capture the pretty bodice.I love love love the style of the neck. I don't know the terminology for that kind of look, but it sure looks nice! They really made an effort to make a pretty dress, and they did a great job! I am definitely going to be buying another one, as soon as I get another price drop! I want a closet FULL of this style of dress!Oh, one thing my husband noticed was that even though it is not a thin cotton fabric, it is a little see-through. I had on some darker underclothes, and he could definitely see that. So make sure you wear light colored undergarments with this yellow dress.*As with any new clothes I buy like this, I always make sure to wash it by itself, just in case some of the yellow color might bleed out. Yellow isn't too bad, but darker colors like burgundy, etc, make sure you wash the separately! And after it's been in the dryer, hang immediately, to prevent wrinkles. I have a steam iron--I will try it out and see how that works before I put the real iron to it.I don't see any loose threads, or any stitches that look wonky, so I would like to give this dress 5 out of 5 stars.

The quality of the material is fairly sturdy and not thin at all . Beautiful rose pattern . Very retro style with small sleeves which I enjoy to cover the very upper arms . This dress is fairly fitted at the upper waist giving you more of a waist line under the breasts . So even if you don’t have much waist line you’ll appear to have an accentuated waist line . The dress HAS POCKETS !! That’s a win for me and it’s comfortable. Zipper in the back which Ive had no trouble with . I would have given this five stars except for one tiny detail . The chest . It’s definitely made for larger breasted women . I suggest a push-up bra to help fill it out . Also I’m not crazy about the way the chest is designed . It has a single stitch holding the very top and when I wear it “a gap “ appears . Debating on removing the stitch and using safety pin in a different spot . Pics for reference. All in all I give this four stars and overall I do really like the dress .

My daughter loves vintage styles and wanted a vintage dress for her school dance. She is quite busty and has a small waist. This dress did need some altering, again, because of her measurements, but with minimal alterations she looked and felt great,

Fit well and made me feel beautiful.

The dress was perfect! Exactly as ordered, perfect fit. Absolutely gorgeous. Thank you
