Perfect

I was looking for a vintage style dress for my best friends wedding. I looked everywhere trying to find a plus size dress that didn't cost an arm and a leg, and one that I could wear again. I found this one and fell in love. I wasn't sure what size to get, check the sizing measurements. The shipping was really quick. I got the dress in the mail today, I tried it on and it's a perfect fit. I could not be happier. The price is great, service and shipping is great, and quality is great. There needs to be more plus size clothing companies/sellers like this.

This dress does run a little small so I'm very glad that I read the reviews first. I bought it to wear in our engagement photos and it was perfect! The length is fantastic too. I'm about 6ft so finding a dress that actually hits below my knees is VERY difficult but this one did. May be a problem for shorter ladies but not for me. Also, this dress slims you out like you won't believe. My photographer loved getting pictures with me in this dress, worked out even better having a classic car to work with too. It's a light weight cotton so it breaths wonderfully. Also, if you want to poof then you MUST get a petticoat. I made one for myself so that I could get the exact color that I wanted and it worked.
Wonderful

This dress is gorgeous. I ordered it, terrified of whether or not it would fit me. Luckily when i tried it on it was slightly large for me, even though i ordered a size that should have been tight on me. But it fits wonderful and i am glad i got it as it is. Wonderful dress, wonderful service. 5 stars!
the good and bad

Pros: It is cute and flares out in all the right places. Plenty of space for a petticoat for more fullness. The style was cute.Cons: I bought it in a 24 because my clothes normally say that size. However the stomach part was tight, the arms were cut weird so the sleeves didn't sit right leaving a gap at my breasts. The bigger size also meant that the dress went all the way down to the bottom of my legs and not right under my knee like it should have. I was tempted to hem it but received the dress the day before the event I had to wear it to. In the end my high heels made it look like the dress was meant to be that length.Would I buy this dress again knowing all this? Probably not. The material is very thin for the price of the dress and it was an ill fit. I wish there were clothing stores in my area that actually catered to this type of clothing so I would have known all of the cons ahead of time.
Measure first and prepare to alter = very flattering.

I love this dress. It has funky sizing, so I measured myself before ordering as suggested. I am 5'7" and normally a size 20-22US. Problem is I have a large bossum and large upper arms, so I ordered a size 26 to accomadatete the chest.(You can always take in, you can't always let out!)I have cleavage for days in the dress. :) It fits perfectly through the arms and chest, but for me it is very loose on the sides. It is also cocktail length, which could be because of the larger sizing.I bought a knee length crinolin to wear underneath, and the dress still needed to be hemmed 3" to achieve the desired length.The fabric is stiff and has a low thread count. That is my only complaint.I can't wait to see how it fits after the alterations are done!
Flattering!

I bought this as a bridesmaid's dress for a wedding. I have worn it about a dozen times since. I feel great in this dress. The length is perfect. I have worn it with and without a petticoat. Fun for a taking the dog on walk or out for cocktail hour. It accentuates the extra curves I have on top and slims the middle, leaving a nicely flowing silhouette from the belt line to the hem of the skirt. Well done, Skelapperal!

This dress looked amazing on me. I was afraid it was going to be too small since I am large busted but it was actually a tiny bit large. Very happy
