Grace Karin Womens 50s 60s Vintage Pencil Dress Bodycon Cap Sleeve Dress

The dress is beautiful, but definitely not an investment piece. The material feels like cheap upholstery and has absolutely no stretch in it. I think the dress is priced appropriately. I ordered a size medium and a size large in the black/red print with the lady on it. The dress is stunning in person, and both sizes fit exactly as I expected. I'm 5'5 185ish lbs with an "athletic" (flat tummy, modest breast size, and curvy hips/bottom) Large: fit my lower half well enough. It was a little too tight on my hips, but was manageable. (Going up a size would leave too much room). The top was quite loose. My chest was still covered and the neckline is high and fitted enough to not worry about exposure if you bent over... but was definitely roomy enough to let insecurity sneak and settle in... especially if your already self-conscious about that area of your body) Medium: fit around my tush snugglely and my chest perfectly. The medium looked amazing on... But, it was only good for standing. As soon as I started walking, the skirt would start to ride up. The large looked nice enough. I just didn't feel sexy in it because of the chest area. If the material was better quality, I'd order an extra-large and get it tailored down to fit me perfectly. TLDR: Medium was too small, large was too big; and my size is somewhere between. The material DOES NOT stretch. The material also feel like cheap upholstery fabric.

Good fitting dress. The dress is a lovely dress. The material is superb.

I love this dress. The neckline looks so good and shows off the bust area. Definitely need a zipper pull for this dress if you live alone

I need one in every color! Background on me. I am 5’4”, hourglass figure, a fit 136 lbs, 35” bust, 26” waist, 38” hips. I ordered a small and fits perfectly. Not too tight or too loose. I would recommend this dress in every color as a basic. It does need at least a slim belt and unique shoes to break it up and looks so polished with just a few touches. Also, this dress is well priced but I would recommend it regardless of price. One thing to be aware of. The different colors come in different fabrics. The first dress I got was the dark navy and it is a perfect mix cotton, nylon and spandex. The dress is not lined but the fabric is thick enough to not see body imperfections and undergarment lines and stretches where you need it (bust, hips). Then I needed a pink one for the Barbie movie (got deep rose) and the peacock one to pair with some new Freebird shoes I got that are a unique color. Those two colors came in the polyester fabric. I was surprised when I opened the package. It’s buried vaguely in the description if you change your color choice and the scroll down to read about the fabric for each one. The fit is still good but I like that polyester fabric less as it shows more line and imperfections. For the basic colors (black, red, white, Navy, grey, light pink, etc) they all come in the nice cotton blend. I’m going to buy every last one. I dress up a lot and like to have options. Different belts, different jackets, different shoes all make them look different. The dress hits right above my knees. I didn’t buy any of the pattern dresses, but they are made of just cotton according to the description. I don’t care for the polyester ones and won’t be buying more of those colors.

I love this brand and already have several pieces. This particular dress I ordered in a large, just as I have with other dresses. The silhouette is gorgeous. Very retro but still elegant. Material is a definite negative for me. Scale from 1 to 10, I would rate the material as a 3. Cheap cotton, reminiscent of a tablecloth, but with a bit of stretch. The major drawback was the cut on the bust. Definitely way too small. I wear a full D cup and in order to get this dress to fit, I had to use an unlined bralette. Unfortunately, if I went a size up, it would definitely be too big. The color and pattern is fantastic, and it does flatter my fuller shape. Overall, a decent buy, but beware if you are fuller on the top.

Oh my god yall. Ignore my bare feet and just look at how nice this makes my figure look. I was so excited I had to take a pic right away. I have a very slim body and don’t have the nice curvy hips some ladies do :):) but this is the most perfect flattering cut with the material being thick or structured enough to kind of create that hourglass illusion. The print is GORGEOUS and so unique and cool. I haven’t taken it off since trying it on an hour ago bc it’s so comfortable and is making me so happy lol. The neckline is also so unique and cool looking. It is seriously the kind of one garment you can put on to immediately look put together, polished, attractive but also could be worn to the office or with like, combat type boots for an edgy look. I am in love! I am 5’7 120 lbs 34C-D and I got the Small. It’s also enough stretch to fit my chest too which is great bc I’m bigger there than below and it makes everything look evened out!! Ahhhh!! Now I have to look at the other colors/ but nothing compares to this pattern with the vibrant reds blacks tropical artsy vibe. GET IT.

This is a really pretty dress. The colors are so rich and vibrant! Am 158 lbs, 34C, 31w, 43 1/2 hips, 5' 8". Followed the chart for my dress size which is 8-10, medium and large sizes depending on the garment. For me it fit true to size from the chart; the large is a perfect fit. Regarding other reviews, it's true the dress is a bit on the short side. For my height it's about an inch above the knee. Would've preferred a couple inches longer but it's not advertised as a midi so I got what I ordered. It's also true that the top is low cut. Looks better with a little cleavage which I lack so I might wear a camisole if it doesn't ruin the look of the dress. The material is kind of thin but not really see through, actually perfect for hot summer weather. I don't feel it looks cheap at all and had absolutely no problem with the zipper. Dress is well constructed - no ripped seams. I love it and am really glad I bought it. I do plan to try the XL because the dress rides up a bit on the hips and I don't want to have to keep pulling it down when I wear it. But to my surprise the material has a little give. The large truly is a perfect fit and isn't skin tight, so if the XL is too big in the waist and bust I don't plan to spend money on alterations. Will just keep the large and hopefully shape wear will keep it from riding up. It really is a cute dress!

I want to love this dress. It has a style that combines classic and unique in a way we don't often see. I chose a soft grey-blue that looks great on me, and I was pleased by the quality construction and the price. I could see buying a couple more dresses in this style. But the fit is disappointing. I followed the size guide instead of buying my usual size, and I could definitely go down a size. The bigger problem is vertical fit, not horizontal. Either the drafting scale they use (the way they decide how big to make each part of the garment) is based on someone who's extremely short-waisted, or they thought it would look good to put the waistband up around the floating ribs (it doesn't) . The waist of the dress is so high on me that the bottom of the waistband is a full two inches above my actual waist. There are good-looking dresses with high waistbands, but I doubt any of them are fitted in the skirt. The great '50s detail of having darts from the waistband to the fullest part of the butt instead have that extra fullness about two inches above that part of my butt. Because the waist starts two inches higher than it should, the hem is just above my knees instead of a couple inches below it. And this problem can't be fixed by ordering a size smaller. I haven't decided yet whether I'll keep this dress or send it back, but I'm not buying the other colors I'd considered until they come in sizes that fit women with average-to-long torsos.

Nice one, it stretches, baby pink colour, worthy the money, fits well . Material is abit soft, not cotton .

Gives me a great figure, lovely dress, good quality material with some stretch so you don't have to worry about eating too much, no complaints here

Have bought these dresses in different colours and loved them but material has changed and now fabric is very poor quality

Very flattering fit, good value for the money. Fabric quality could be better; wrinkles like crazy!

I really like this dress. It is very comfortable and looks super smart. It feels like it has a bit of lycra in it as it has some give. Colour is great. May even treat myself to another one.
