DRESSTELLS Women's Vintage 1950s Cocktail Dress, Retro Tea Party Halter Swing Dresses

I love this dress! Elegant and fits me well it is true to its size

I ordered the Kelly green in a 3x, because I wanted to make sure it would fit (can always make things smaller; can't always make things bigger). Soft, slightly stretchy, light material; lays and flows nicely, BEAUTIFULLY stitched and designed. The FIT is amazing! I'm size 18, 38-40DD with broad shoulders, and have always had issues with clothing, especially dresses (as in, if it fits thru bust/back/shoulders, the bottom is like a tent). The lacing on the back allows for snugging up the waist under the breast, helping to accentuate/accommodate curves and give an hourglass effect. I'm gonna make the call at "true-to-size", especially due to the elastic panel and lacing on the back of the bodice. It's short-waisted, but then, so am I, so that's OK with me...almost gives an empire waist effect, which works with the full skirt. The belt is a nice satin piece that's removable, so you can wear it with/without or choose something else. Personally, I am planning to use the belt to widen the straps at shoulders, and to bring the halter down to the back like regular/bra-type straps. Being so large chested with spine issues, I can't tolerate anything hanging on my neck (like he weight of large breasts lol); I also absolutely hate strapless undergarments, so I improvise! I will definitely be able to wear a demi bra and open bust body shaper underneath for amazing effect once the straps are adjusted. As I'm only 5'2", it falls past my knee, upper to mid-calf, which I'm perfectly fine with. I ordered a crinoline/petticoat to try under it to see if that will enhance an hourglass shape or not ;) I can't rave enough about this dress, tho. It fits like a dreams, feels wonderful on, looks like a much thicker/heavier material (deceptively light, which is a great thing for those of us who are always warm ;) ), the color is gorgeous, and the piece is beautifully made. Doesn't look "costume-y" at all, either. It simply looks like a lovely little cocktail dress. I plan on wearing it at a formal event with a black lace bolero. Love it, ladies!! It'd be perfect for any retro/50's/rockabilly/swing type costume...or even for a special evening out.

I love this dress! It’s very cute and the fit is amazing. I recommend sizing down one size for the perfect silhouette. It’s officially my new favorite, and my husband loved the look on me. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a flattering, stylish piece!

I needed to find something to wear for a "1950s cocktail" themed party and instantly fell in love with this dress. I'm usually an XS or S, depending on the brand of clothing, with a 25" waist. Although the size chart said that the XS would fit (26" waist), I went with the S (26.8" waist) to make sure I had some breathing/eating/drinking space! It definitely fit, but it was a tad tighter than I'd prefer. I kept hold of it and ordered the M in case that was better... alas. As far as the fit goes, the waist was perfect but everything above the waist was enormous and stretched out. But it wasn't only the fit that was disappointing... 1. The dress didn't arrive nicely folded in its bag – it was scrunched up in a ball. 2. The zipper was totally undone. 3. The belt was missing. 4. The elastic/ruching at the back was beyond stretched out. 5. It smelled of horrible perfume. 6. It was stained on the back as if someone had sat on a chair that had food on it. Clearly, someone had returned this dress and no one had done a quality control check on it. Gross. I immediately returned it. I wore the size S on the night and it was fine... although I didn't eat/drink much! Lots of compliments. The black 50s petticoat skirt from the same company took the dress to a whole other level, so don't skip that part.

Literally the 🤍CUTEST🤍 and most 🖤GORGEOUS🖤 dress I have ever ordered, I LOVE it. Definitely recommend it if you are looking for a cutesy and vintage styled dress. Though I would recommend you order one size larger because it is a bit snug but other than that it was perfect.

Super cute and fits great (nice and stretchy) but it did. It come with the black belt sash.

I love this dress. Ok let's start with some size information, as that is always highly important and useful. I am 5 feet 0 inches. 165 pounds, 36" chest, and even bigger in the butt, so i am chunky, and curvy. I read other reviews and decided to get the Large. In my opinion, this is a perfect fit for me, because it's snug, and molds all my curves, and believe me, there are curves that need hugged. So let me just say this. When i tried it on, my husband saw me in this dress, and literally stripped it off me, and romantically tackled me to the floor, for a session of afternoon delight, as it was his day off. So it's a worthwhile investment, no? Unless you don't want your husband doing that, as it can be rather annoying having them underfoot around the house. Get back to work, husband! The fabric feels like cotton, that has an element of stretch to it, (maybe a touch of lycra in there) which is great, that's why it fits so nice and snugly. On the back, at the top, there is elasticasted shirring, which has some nice lace up ribbon over the top, but that's just decorative, and doesn't serve any purpose, than to sit and look pretty. The satin belt, lace up ribbon at the back, and satin halter are a nice touch, but i have a lovely wide elasticated belt i plan to wear with mine. There is also a concealed zipper running down the side. The quality is really good for the price, and i will order other patterns later. I bought the white, with cherries on this occasion, and it's gonna be my go-to summer dress. I did order the flouncy, bushy petticoat, but it looks stupid on me, quite frankly, as i am just too plump. It makes me look even fatter, so i'm fine with wearing my dress without the added flounce. I have this really annoying sticking-out booty (a medical condition called hyperlordosis) and it always makes skirts shorter at the back, and it was more pronounced with the bushy petticoats, so i'll hang it up till i'm skinny. I don't know tha i looked very retro, pinup in it, as I had hoped, but i didn't have make-up, or heels on, when i tried it on, and i dare say if i was gonna go the whole hog, and do the hair, make up etc, i could achieve success. But the dress itself is awesome, and i thoroughly recommend it, though you should read reviews, as it helps with sizing

Fits great! Got the medium. Weigh 142lb, 37in bust, 27in waist. 34C. 5’6”, goes just past my knees. Size chart wise I was a medium for the bust but a small for my waist. Based on other reviews, was torn between small and medium but the medium is great with the adjustable back. Have a large bone structure w wide ribs so it works well for me, No gapping of material or weird puckers. Can breathe easy. Not wearing a bra in photo, but it provides decent support for my not very substantial chest but cause no bra feels weird, I’ll probably wear a strapless bra with it. Kinda wish the torso was a little longer as I’d love to wear it a bit higher /closer to my arm pits but then the waist doesn’t sit at the right spot. My existing petticoat is a little short so I plan to order the one they make that goes with the dress for $13. . I’m fairly sure I’ll be back to get different colors too! Feels like great quality, zipper is so-so but it’s a $25ish dress, no complaints. I must have lucked out cause straight from package, barely wrinkled. Update: so my hubby ended up getting me the black and white one too! And the black petticoat by the company which is so much better than my old one. Doubling the tie around the waist (around once, cross it and around again) is great for keeping the tie from sliding all over. Left barely enough to tie but it worked. Petticoat sticks out just a tiny bit which is what I wanted. A little snug with a padded strapless but makes my boobs look better/bigger lol but I’ve now worn it both ways. Totally in love with these dresses!! Need more excuses to wear them! Wish I didn’t have armpit fat but that’s not the fault of the dress by any means- makes me a little more inclined to wear a shrug with it. The black dress is pictured with the $13 petticoat.

Really impressed, I am big on top and struggle to find dresses that fit nicely this was a perfect fit I'm usally a size 12 so I got medium it looks really exspensive and good quality.

Ein sehr schönes Kleid , trage 48/50 , habe Bauch der schön kaschiert wird. Bestellt habe ich 4xl weil 5xl in der Farbe nicht da war , passt trotzdem sehr gut , auch dank der Bändchen am Rücken zum verstellen und dem elastischen Teil im Rücken , fühle mich erstaunlich gut darin. Stoff ist angenehm , stinkt nicht und kommt gut verpackt an. Trage es mit passendem Petticoat , ohne fällt es auch sehr schön. Klare kauf Empfehlungen , wird nicht das letzte Kleid sein.

Ich hatte erst etwas Angst aber es Sitz perfekt (gr. 46/48 bestellt 48) . Die Lieferung war super schnell auch ohne Prime und andere Versand Arten. (Standard Versand) . Samstag bestellt . War Dienstag vormittag da. Man sollte sich allerdings einen petticoat bestellen wenn man keinen hat. Kann man aber auch super ohne tragen. Der Versand findet per Paket und kleiner extra Tasche statt. Einfach super. War auch alles dabei. Verarbeitung und Material sind top. Habe das weiß braune bestellt. Das braun ist dunkel und dezent , aus fester Baumwolle mit leichten Stretch Anteil. Am Rücken befindet sich nochmal extra Gummi gerafft für eben jene mit breiterem Kreuz. . . Dazu als Kontrast das schöne weiß aus Satin Bändern. Ebenso war das Taillen Band vorhanden. Kann mit jedem teuren Modell für 50 € auf jedenfalls mithalten. Es sieht toll aus. Für kleinere Oberweite empfiehlt sich allerdings ein Trägerloser BH . Größere Oberweite braucht das nicht mehr. 5 Sterne auf jedenfall wert.

Ich habe das Kleid für eine Hochzeit bestellt ich bin total begeistert vom dem Kleid der Stoff trägt sich super auf der Haut ich würde es auch in einer anderen Farbe bestellen. Eine absolute Kaufempfehlung

Meine Tochter hat das Kleid gesehen und sich darin verliebt. Sie ist über glücklich damit. Es passt super und fällt wunderschön.
