Womens Vintage Pencil Work Dress Short Cap Sleeve 1950s Bodycon Dress CL007597

I love this dress because the fit is very flattering. It really gives an hourglass look which is very feminine. Yet it is not absolutely figure hugging. The shape of the dress is what flatters and because the material is not a thin jersey type, it holds its shape . it’s also very forgiving. I’m usually a 12 so I got the M which fits perfectly. Amazon was pushing me to get the XL! Follow the chart and go by your usual UK size, not the measurements. Unless you really dress this up with jewellery, it is best worn for events requiring a simple smart dress code. Personally I don’t think this is formal enough to be a cocktail dress nor would I wear it to a nightclub. It’s very elegant but I find it too sexy to wear to work. That’s because the shape is such. But I bought the solid black one. Perhaps the printed ones could be worn differently. Overall a really lovely dress. I have tried dresses from designer brands and honestly this is far more flattering than any of those . Don’t let the reasonable price mislead you into thinking this is not very elegant and of good quality. I also like that the neckline is not revealing at all which is a really nice change. Plus bra straps do not show. It’s even suitable for someone who is very busty, like myself. Such a dress is hard to find. The only thing I don’t like is that the zipper is long and at the back which means you have to have someone help you with this dress. So it’s not super convenient and if no one is around you can’t wear this dress at all. Regardless, highly recommended.

This is a lovely dress. I was attracted by the print, which is fairly eyecatching. I've worn the dress to work, on days out and it just generally works whatever the occasion. It can be dressed up or down, and looks pretty cool with converse or flipflops, as well as heels I have trouble working out which size to buy in these type of dresses; this one is made of slightly stretch cotton material, and I chose a medium (i'm a size 10-12). It fits fine, a little 'snug' around the waist, but that's my body shape rather than a problem with the dress! Any larger and it would have gaped at the bust and been too big around the hips. Nice material, feels summery and can be dressed up and down.

This is a good quality dress for the price. I measured myself and chose size M according to their chart which is a good fit. (In most shops I am a size 8 top half and a 10 lower half) It’s a bit roomy up top but I am usually a dress size bigger on my lower half so that’s par for the course with me. I think the size S would have been too snug on the hips. Anyway it’s roomy but it doesn’t gape. It also washed well and I ironed it on the reverse side with no problems.

Lovely dress. Can be worn casual or dressed up. Good quality material , fits true to size , very comfortable.

I have purchased a range of grace karin dresses, I absolutely love the vintage styles..and order the same size, but unfortunately this one was a bit of a squeeze...although it looks absolutely gorgeous and sucks all that extra squish in, there seems to be no stretch whatsoever.

Bought a large and I'm a 14-16 UK size a d it fit perfectly. I have a number of dresses by this make and they are all amazing. Feel well made for the money (don't expect a lined karen millen quality, but for the money it's great) good amount of stretch to it with so much it doesn't feel fitted and flattering. I'm 5'5 and came on my knee just above when I moved about. Very bright and dressy u got loads of compliments on it.

I love this dress , it's comfortable and elegant,the material is light weight but not flimsy , the pattern is stunning , I bought a couple for size options it fitted well and the pattern placement was different on each dress ,but it's beautiful wherever the pattern fell . The neckline is flattering, it's rare that I can actually find a dress that fits bust as well as hips .

Lovely dress true to size and colour. I am a size 14 and bought the large size and it is a perfect fit. The quality of the material could be better though overall very pleased with this dress
