bbonlinedressWomen's 50s 60s A Line Rockabilly Dress Cap Sleeve Vintage Swing Party Dress

Amazon suggested my size as large. I was a bit weary but as on holiday and need for wedding day after holiday, I went with suggested size but bought a belt in case too big.I am 5 foot 3 and weight around 9 1/2 stone. I should have chosen the medium size. The dress looks lovely and suits my figure, just too big. The belt will help disguise the size. Beware of Amazon’s suggested sizing but the dress itself I would recommend.

Lovely and comfortable to wear, perfect for 50s fancy dress party.really good quality material.

Loved the cut and colour of this dress (lots of compliments) I also brought a layered net petticoat to go underneath which really helped with the shape. It said steam iron, but maybe it should have said low heat as I still managed to scorch it a tiny bit which made it shiny, but luckily it did not show, so be careful. It was very creased on arrival but after a low steam iron it was ok. I brought a size large which was fine for a uk size 14. I will buy another in a different colour.

Got an extra large I am size 16 and did not fit lovely dress but I would of needed 4x large to even get it anywhere fitting

I am a UK size 12. Never had a major problem with sizing in anything I have made or bought before....Now I waited with the utmost excitedness (sorry if that's not a word but I was ha ha) because I loved the colour and style of this dress. Also because being relatively new to Amazon I had heard good reviews from people that I knew. I'm a tough talker but also a fair person. I've worked hard and saw that cute little dress. Even ordered it in a much larger size just in case.Then I unwrapped it... laughed and then swore at it like I was back in the god damn armed forces for God's sake 😡 ha haI knew then that I had left online shopping up until my late forties for a reason!I ordered an extra size in the dress for myself, a 14-16 as I know that not all sizes are in sync across the globe. Now, I've worked in corsetry and did my apprenticeship in that and underwear so I reckon I couldn't get it that wrong with a 14-16! I often do alterations so although I'm no V. Westwood designer, I thought a dress that if even slightly a few measurements here nor there I could alter myself if need be. No problem. What a bloody joke. I'm sorry but as soon as I pulled it it out, my daughter was with me, I thought that it must still be folded in half as it was so small. I just looked at my daughter and was so annoyed. The dress I received had a rigid and tight 30 inch waist for a 14-16 size. In all honesty you probably couldn't fit your bloody arse cheeks in there without a fight to the death. I have made many items of clothing and have bought many too. I have actually measured the waist of the smallest in my wardrobe by a known company who had them made in China but trade in the UK(and not designer to be fair) so I'm not being biased. The waist was just 32 inches and that is a nice fit. Sits nicely and definitely a 12 in size.How can you advertise that dress as you have done and not give guide lines at least for reference? Help your customers, don't just take their hard earned monies. It is wrong on every level.I'm relatively new to shopping on Amazon and have bought 16 items so far. The first three I received were as advertised and I was pleasently surprised. I even left a fair and just review 👍 because I know that Amazon strives to make their customers' experience the best service and customer satisfaction possible. In my case I feel that the latter, the devil should be in the detail(s) and it certainly left my shopping experience online feeling one of annoyance and many verbal expletives. I have to package up the returning so called purchases and have to make arrangements to send back too many parcels to be just a blip. One wonders how many people actually do bother to return items? My own daughter admitted to myself that she says it is pot luck. Pot luck my back side, I work hard for my wages and I had hoped Amazon, a massive company who would alter my opinion of online shopping.I'm no fool to technology, do not think I am however I am used to giving my word whether it be in anything I design and make from scratch or a simple alteration. My word is priceless and if the boot was on the other foot I'd expect it back. It's how my father taught me and how I've taught my own children and my little grand daughter. I thought I'd give online shopping a chance as the high st is doomed as we know, I knew it wasn't all unicorns and fairies however what I have found is what I thought the great world wide Web would unfortunately become and not what it was intended for. I will be returning this dress along with other unsatisfactory purchases. You probably won't read or acknowledge words from folk like myself,that is your perogative. I do know that reviews can be given either way and social media speaks volumes.I think many corporate companies have lost sight of the fundamental basics. It's a sad situation and I'm not a happy bunn. I don't let things lie easily, not many things get my back up but this is called taking the piss even if you think it's trivial. Not often I use profanities in correspondence especially like this.Yours, most sincerely ever so slightly would like to shove that dress where the sun doesn't shine.

Perfect. This is the 2nd one I have bought due to the fact that my previous one is still in perfect condition despite being worn regularly since 2019. That one is a medium size as I was a size 12 bottom and 14 top and I have lost 20kg but I wear it with a wide elastic belt and it still looks great! Even though on my screen it looks a lighter blue, I can confirm it is navy blue. It is such a flattering style and a lovely shape and balances out my wide shoulders with my narrow hips. I imagine it would hide wider hips if you wanted it to. Despite my low weight I still have a "Mum Tum" and it covers that too. I am absolutely in love with the style. Having lost 20kg I now wear an XS which is what this one is (I'm a size 6 in most shops) Have bought a 3rd but am planning to return, not because there is anything wrong with it but because the colours don't suit me and I plan to replace it with a colour I know does suit me. I have had many compliments with this one and the previous dress with and without the petticoat, but have not yet worn this one with the petticoat. This Navy one with small dots is very smart personally I d I think it could be worn if you work in a semi formal office. I wore to a casual birthday meal out for the first time but not as "dressy" as the roses one I I bought before. Goes well with my cropped cardigan and bolero when I need extra warmth. Well worth the price. Love it

Bought to wear to a christening party for a friend's new baby girl. Fit very nicely - I got a size XL and am normally a 14 on top and 14-16 below. I was a little unsure of what size to get, and on balance I think I got it right. I was worried about a gaping neckline if I got too big a size but this was not an issue and was actually very flattering and I got lots of compliments. I might have been OK with a size L but didn't want it to be too tight - comfort is always my main priority! The material is quite thin and had a few creases on the skirt from being in the bag but I hung it straight up and gave it a quick iron the day before I needed it and came out very well. The colours are nice and bright and the skirt is a good length - I am about 5'6" and it came to just below my knees. I was concerned I might need to get a petticoat to wear with it but I felt it looked perfectly good without one, although I may get one in the future to dress it up a bit more.Definitly a decent buy for the money.

This dress is such a pleasant surprise! Fit is true to size and seems well made, especially for the price. The fabric is thick (not see through or clingy) but light weight and comfortable. As a 42 year old mom, this dress also is flattering in the tummy area and the cut and shape of the dress is just flattering over all. I will note that they ship this dress in a vacuum sealed bag so it does arrive wrinkly, but after an initial steaming/ironing I think the material will resist wrinkling and creasing. The only thing missing is pockets!

It's so comfortable and true to size. I will definitely buy more. It is longer than expected but still flattering. I am around a size 8 to 10 and I bought a medium.

Fits perfect! Love the style and colourAnd it's not too sheer as some yellow dresses can be.

The sleeves are super uncomfortable if your plus size or have large arms. I returned it because I would’ve felt uncomfortable all night long.

Love the color and fabric of this dress, but an XL was too small. Have a similar dress from this company in that size and it fit well. Difference in this dress is it has no pockets, so a slightly different cut? Hoping it will fit my daughter because it really is pretty
