The XL was a perfect fit!
Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2015
Okay, so i was really worried about buying this dress at first because the measurements were smaller then what i am. The posted size for the XL is 40.5 inch bust and a 34.5 inch waist. I have a 45 inch bust and 39 inch waist. The XL was a perfect fit!! The stretchy back allows for a lot of give. I will defiantly be buying more. If you are a couple inches too large for your size, i think it would still fit as it did me. I wouldn't go much larger then 45 inch bust for the XL though as it did fit me perfect with the stretch. I am short, 5'2 and the Dress hit a few inches past my knees. It is very figure flattering in my opinion!

5' 4"; 175; 38D; Sz XXL fits awesome! Whole adult life I was a Sz 6/8. Health issues exploded and two years later I'm a Sz 14/16. I've never been this size so I had no clue how to dress and I was looking super frumpy!! I was hiding my body completely. I hated it. Then it hit me! CURVY GIRLS ROCK IT IN 1950s tea dresses and form hugging pencils skirts. Tried this dress....I now own SIX dresses from Grace Karin in various necklines (boatneck, halter, etc). I FEEL SO WONDERFUL. Compliments over and over everywhere I go. I know six may seem like a lot, but I'm planning to buy MORE in the future! I cannot get over the quality for the price too!! THESE DRESSES ARE AMAZING!! You cannot help but feel feminine and pretty in them!!!
How it fit

Overall the dress was beautiful, i wore it to a wedding and felt very comfortable in it. I order a small after reading the reviews of how this particular dress runs big. I am usually a Med. I am 5'7 150 lbs, but even after ordering a small i still had to take it in on the sides. On a good note i'd rather it be too big than too small!
love this dress!

I absolutely love this dress

I absolutely love this dress!!! If you are a curvy heavier-set girl like me, this dress is going to be SOOO flattering on you and I completely recommend it!!!Pros:-Super nice quality fabric (not really as "soft" as I expected but super strong and nice and will last a long time).-really well fitting, stretchy back is fantastic!-extremely flattering.-looks nice with or without a petticoat.-Pattern is bright and vibrant.-Waist ribbon is removable if you'd like to use a different color or type.-really quite comfortable!Cons:-this is less of a con and more of just something to note, their size chart is kind of off. Their measurements for an extra large are in the mid 30" or something for waist but I'm somewhere in the low 40s and it's slightly big on me. Just keep that in mind when ordering.-the only other thing I can think of is that the halter top tie is a kind of thick fabric so when you tie it it's a little hard to get just right so it sits comfortably on your neck. It's not ba at all though ^-^Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend this to a friend. In fact, I'm probably gonna buy one or two more! Also note, I added a photo of me without my petticoat too so that you can see how it falls.
Perfect summer dress
Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2017
I spent a lot of time searching for a dress appropriate for a summer wedding and this is perfect! It's made of stretchy cotton fabric and has an elastic stitched back for extra roominess. I'm 5'7" with 38DD bra size and I generally wear between a size 14 and 16 - I ordered the XL and it fits perfectly. The dress hits about a couple inches below the knee and looks beautiful with or without a tulle underskirt. You could even wear 2 tulle underskirts, as the skirt of the dress is a circle skirt and will accomodate plenty of fluff.I provided photos with and without 1 tulle underskirt for reference.
I love it my retro dress!

Cute look for a great price, but you'll need to make your own belt

This dress pattern is incredibly cute! I love the black polka dots and red roses, I wore it to an Alice-In-Wonderland themed dance because of "painting the roses red." Overall, the fabric feels high-quality, it a little bit stretchy to allow for forgiveness in size. I did modify it a bit after receiving it--while I like the dress, the halter straps were really thick and long and I thought that they looked a bit strange tied around my neck, so I actually sewed them to the dress to make them into shoulder straps that cross in the back. Also, the "belt" that comes with the dress is nothing more than a thin ribbon, it doesn't look nearly as good in person as it does in the photo (hence the 4 stars instead of 5). I sewed myself a new red sash that I think goes better with it anyway. Also, when I received the dress, the way the fabric was cut had a very awkward placement of two red roses right on the...erm...front bodice area. I ordered a second one and it came with much cuter random placement of the roses. So overall I like the quality of the material, the fabric pattern, and the dress design. But I did need to do a little bit of sewing to be fully happy with it. Also, I bought a red and black petticoat to wear under it to give it the right poof.Dresstells® Women's Vintage Rockabilly Net Petticoat Skirt Tutu 1950s Underskirt Black Red S-M
