Womens Floral Vintage Midi Dress 3/4 Sleeve

*Important note on material per print **Note on this author: shopping for clothes is not my favorite activity. I put way too much energy into finding the right things so it can be one and done.I provide an obscene level of detail to hopefully help others like myself. The more info the better. *Second dress purchased and this one was a great surprise.I thought I’d be creating a whole new review for this specific dress but it appears as though it’s lumped with the last. *see below*The first dress, the navy blue with hot pink/red flowers, is entirely different material than the deep teal with mustard yellow larger botanical print.The navy is a heavier synthetic. Not my favorite material for many reasons BUT it worked well for this dress so I was going to go with it again on the new dress. But alas! This dress is cotton! Which is perfect for warmer seasons. Light and breezy.Same silhouette but some differences… I will get it perfected at the alterations business up the road.The back of the neckline is wicked high. The first dress was too but this is even more so. The arms are low and a titch tight. If I hadn’t found a great alteration team I’d have to return this beautiful dress.Sounds fancy but it’s a game changer.To keep to a budget, ask yourself if the dress is worth twice what you paid to have a piece that fits perfectly.For me it is as I don’t have many clothes and want the few I do wear to be comfortable.Buying an inexpensive piece is 90% of the dress and the other 10% is fine tuned to my body and taste.Plus, if the alterations are minimal the price is as well. I only say double because I’ve gone that far with a dress they all but had to remake with the material- bridal party business.The cotton isn’t as stretchy as the polyester (or rayon? Something plastic.).They lined the torso on this lightweight cotton dress but not the arms or skirt.I will ask the seamstress to add a little something to the skirt to prevent sunlight illuminating my legs through the dress. Not tested but presumably accurate with the weight. The pattern is busy and the colors are fairly dark so it wouldn’t be a necessity I suppose.Older post below update now:Hello again several months later.I’ve worn the dress countless times.Washes great. I always use the hottest water despite folks insisting it’s unnecessary and harmful to the clothes. I have no issues and the high heat makes the clothes proper clean.I do line dry 100% of the time however.The electric dryer very much impacts many clothing items in an undesirable way.Below I stated the material is not a sensory nightmare. For me this is true.For you it could be miserable.It’s not a dream. The heavier synthetic material is acceptable for the results which are: thick enough to smooth out bumps and warm enough to wear in colder weather. Very stretchy and robust.Would recommend.Hello fellow shopper,From my lived experience there’s rarely a clothing item that feels so bespoke “off the rack”. So rare, I cannot recall the last time I had such an experience.We’re getting awfully close with this one.AND it’s from Amazon at a low price? Stop.Quick facts about author:Demographic- 40’sBody type- Apple (all bust and belly)Dimensions- Height 5’2 (157cm) Weight 200 (90kg)Fabric: Not too bad. Not too bad at all.Now, I haven’t field tested this dress. Only a try on. No washing experience…Material and seams aren’t a sensory nightmare.The material is synthetic feeling but not bothersome (hot humid might be a problem- when isn’t it?).Stretchy material gives “freedom with structure” vibes. We shall see. You know how things can get floppy. I would be surprised if that was the case here but maybe.Weight is medium.Swingy not clingy.Twirl 8.5/10.Silhouette:Fit and flare adds “shape” to the “shapeless”.The shoulder has personality that brings balance.The neckline is Goldilocks sweet- not too high or low, not too wide or tight.Waist is defined and the skirt flows out beautifully.For my body everything lines up right.Reception:Mirror told me I was the fairest of them all.Husband said I looked like a Mennonite.I thought he’d go more mid-century retro housewife, but I get it.*Modest fashion approved!*Last notes:• Pockets are indeed present and adequate.• I slipped it on over my head with no need to fuss about the zipper.• What would I get altered? The sleeve openings and possibly the length. I am debating.My forearms aren’t particularly robust compared to other bits. These sleeves are generous below the elbow.As mentioned in my “about me” section above, I’m 5’2. The dress lands about mid-calf. I could see taking it up to just below the knee.Important disclosure:The color and pattern might have me hypnotized.Is dark navy with reddish-pink pattern the real star here?Would this dress in a solid light color be nearly as magical?I suspect it would not.If money and time were of no consideration I could try on other patterns and let you know with more certainty.Gut instinct tells me this particular pattern is “it”.Hence my selection.To each their own!For me, the color/print combo were the most put-together and flattering. Upon arrival I was not disappointed in the least.If anything, I instantly wanted to buy a whole wardrobe of this dress :)Off to research other patterns and similar dresses by this brand.Good luck on your shopping journey.Ps- I do NOT like shopping and wish clothes just appeared as they do for my family ;)

The dress looks beautiful and fits perfectly. The material is comfortable, the sizing is accurate, and it looks exactly as expected. I was so pleased with the quality and fit that I ordered another one. Highly recommended!

I liked this dress, but I'm 5'5 and top heavy, 150lbs, 38c. The dress was pretty, stretchy, soft material, and different material from the other simple flavor dresses I have. This dress is a little shorter than the others and hits just below my knees. I wish it was longer like the other Simple Flavor dresses, that hit mid shin and below the knee because it slims me down and elongates my my frame/ height.

I love these dresses, bought the black and white initially and got a lot of compliments, fit is amazing; gives the effect of a neat waist and flares “eloquently”. My mum then asked for one and I bought 2 more, 1 for her and the other for me of course!It has deep pockets, a huge plus, the material is soft but feels strong, and both of mind washed well.

This is a form fitting silhouette that is essentially super cute, although it will show any belly you have. Love the 3/4 sleeves and the subtle cute white flower design. The big flaw is that the arms are too tight and the cut where arm meets the armpits is extremely restrictive. I can lift up 90 degrees and the extra fabric is weird when my arm is down. I couldn't wait to get out of this.I ordered a 2xl.

I absolutely loved this dress when I first purchased it last year. At that time, it was made with 97% cotton, and it was incredible. The fabric was soft, breathable, comfortable, and draped beautifully on the body. It quickly became one of my favorite dresses.Unfortunately, I recently ordered more and discovered that the fabric content has changed to polyester. The difference is very noticeable. The polyester version does not lay against the skin the same way, it doesn't breathe as well, and it simply doesn't have the same quality feel as the original cotton blend. It feels like an old lady dress. I was excited to purchase additional colors, but I am very disappointed with the fabric change.If this dress were still made with the original 97% cotton fabric, I would buy several more. As it stands now, I would not purchase it again due to the switch to polyester. Please consider bringing back the original cotton blend. It was what made this dress so special.

I was shopping for a new dress for Easter and this one was perfect! It is made well, has a nice full skirt great for dancing. It is super comfortable; both the fabric and fit. It is elegant enough for any occasion. Highly recommend it.

It was a very nice fit, love it. The material is soft and of good quality, beautiful design. It’s really worth the price.

Muy elegante.

Good fit true to size skirt hangs well

Nice Fashion and good price

There's nothing I didn't dislike. It was for a wedding
