Belle PoqueWomen's 1950s Retro Pencil Dress Cocktail Party Dresses

i,m useing it for a bridal rehearsel diner

I loved the retro look, and the dress is cute...until I moved, and the fabric rode up over my stomach and around my waist and the dress became slightly above knee length. I really don't need anything else to make my stomach look rounder after squeezing into spanx body wear!I would have returned it, but my busy schedule missed the return window, so I'll donate it to our local thrift store.The fabric is a nice weight and won't attract pet hair too much (a biggie for me!) and has a bit more stretch than needed. I could have ordered a size down for a more body con fit. I wear a size 14-16/XL in most things and don't like a super tight fit. This would have worked for me if it didn't ride up so weirdly.

Not the highest quality but it fit my needs for a cute dress for a dal wedding. The yoke is a bit off center and is not an easy fix but nobody else noticed. Lots of complements

Not the best fabric but perfect for the price and the event. We had a 1950s Havana Nights theme holiday party and this was comfortable, stylish and held its shape all night. It arrived wiyh a 1960s lable but I wore it anyway.Runs a little big, and careful when ironing...melts under heat.

Purchased for a 1950’s retro bunco but I will totally wear it again for date night.

I purchased this dress for my mother as a part of her Mother’s Day gifts and she loved it! For reference, I purchased an XL; she is 5’3, about 165 pounds.I recommend wearing shape wear underneath as the material isn’t forgiving. However, they material is quite stretchy but will hug every curve! If that’s not what you want, size up. The material is thin but not flimsy. The dress is made well.I plan to purchase one for myself at some point.

I really liked how this dress fit me. It has a lot of stretch.

This dress is fabulous! The vintage style is so classy.I bought this dress with hopes that it would work for maternity photos, and it exceeded my expectations! I love it so much. The material is thick and stretchy, so it hugs all the right places without revealing too much. I am around 26 weeks pregnant in the photos, and it was just what I wanted. I typically wear size small or medium dresses, and a medium in this dress was perfect for pregnancy, but I think I will be able to wear it after pregnancy as well.My only negatives with this dress is that the material tends to wrinkle and got visually dirty. To be fair it was probably my fault... I wore this dress in Mexico and I think I got either sunscreen or dust on it. Whatever it was showed up as light-colored smudges all over the black material and could not be wiped off. It's something to be aware of so you can avoid my issue.

stretch fabric fit on perfectly and comfortably, nice elegant lace design on the top. Very well made, love it!
