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

I bought this dress to use as a Minnie Mouse costume pairing it with a stretch belt with a bow in it When the dress came, I quickly realized that I could wear this dress any time during warm weather. The fabric is a really good thickness and has a little stretch to it. I was afraid it was going to be really lightweight making it easy for the wind to whip it up, but I was pleasantly surprised. I am 5'6 1/2 and weigh 115 pounds and I got a small. I would definitely buy this dress in other colors and recommend it to family and friends. If you are on the fence about getting this dress I would definitely urge you to do so.

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 have a 50’s 70’s party on Saturday and I was undecided about this dress but I gave it a try. I am so happy I bought it. This dress is beautiful!! Even I can’t use high heels, still perfect for me. I bought size S and I have no problem with my babies stayed on its place. Delivery was same day. I really recommend it. I’ll buy another one.

I love this dress! It fit as expected and the corset back helped to make the dress stay in place. It did need ironing, but the dress isn't sheer at all and a good material. 10/10 will be wearing it for my senior pictures.

Beautiful but cut is a little off for talker girls makesure to iron not dry

Size XL. It fits perfectly. I'm very big chested and the stretchy material and corset type back made it easy to squeeze into, while still hugging my waist. The straps around the neck keep my 42 year old boobs looking perky. I get one compliment after another when I go out.

I needed something cute for a 50s party and didn't want to spend a lot. This dress came today, I tried it on and I absolutely love it!! The fit is adjustable through the top and it is really well made. The style is attractive and comfortable even though I've put on a few extra pounds through my mid section. IT DID NOT COME WITHT THE BELT SHOWN IN THE PICTURE so I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. I ordered a wide stretchy black belt and a black petticoat to go with it. Fabulous combo!

Purchased size small for a 50's themed party and was not disappointed. Quality appropriate for price and dress is flattering. I did switch out the belt but that was just my preference. The belt, cardigan and shoes all bought on Amazon. $140 ish total. Which I felt was a pretty good deal. Hope to find another opportunity to wear it.
