Gorgeous 1950s Women's Party Dresses From GownTown

KK: This dress, paired with a petticoat looks amazing. I’m small chested, 5’6” and 135lbs. I bought the small, and because the material stretches a little, was able to zip it up with no problem. It was comfortable while also looking very form fitting in the waist. Definitely buy a petticoat as well so the skirt fits like it looks in the product pictures.

SandraSandra: I bought this dress for a 1950’s theme party. I wore it with a crinoline I had purchased years before. The material has a little stretch to it so that it felt comfortable as I danced the night away. The only thing is that the front is lower than I wanted (maybe because I’m short) so I wore a black sleeveless top underneath to not show too much.

Sophia: This is such good quality and comfortable!! It’s a thicker fabric that won’t blow up and show your coochacho. THE WEIRD EXTRA STITCH IS EASY TO BREAK. HOWEVER, YOU MAY WANT TO STITCH OR SAFETY PIN THE BUST PIECES TOGETHER lest the girls be hanging free

I have a VERY large chest but not a large frame so finding something that fits my waist and bust is hard. This dress did that!!! Slays looks so cute

have sensory issues and just ordered a second dress because of how smooth (not silky or clingy) the fabric is.

John SykesJohn Sykes: I am always leery of buying clothing online since I can't try on the piece before purchasing. As we all know, a comfortable fit can vary several dress sizes, depending on how the dress is cut and what your body shape is. So the next best thing is to come to amazon, read the reviews, and hopefully find someone with a similar body type to mine to see if the cut is flattering on them.

Hopefully this will help someone. For reference I am 5'9" and 165 pounds. I ordered the XL, and although I love my fit a little more loose, I could have easily gone with L if I wanted the dress to be a little more form fitting, especially in the hip and breast area. A few notes about fit:
1. I LOVE the fit. So flattering. It cinches in all the right places (for me it was right under the breasts, rather than the true waist, which has been destroyed from having kiddos. :)
2. The A line bottom hides the "pear shape" that I so often have trouble dressing attractively.
3. The bust had an oddly placed "stitch" near the top-- I assume this is to keep the breast area from gapping. But I cut that and found the fit much more flattering without it. If you cut the stitch...

handy steve: I want to give a detailed review so someone else can really figure out if this is the dress for them. Believe the dress size chart! My measurements are 45 - 37 - 44, I wear a 38 DDD bra, I am 5'7" and weigh 175 lbs. Normally I wear a size 14 - 16 but the chart matches best with XXL. I read other reviews and decided to chance it and ordered an XL. It did fit because the fabric is REALLY stretchy (a good thing) I just think it would look a little better and not rely on the stretchy fabric as much if I went up one size. So I am going to return this and order a XXL.

Now for other important details - The color I ordered, blue, is a little drabber than my computer monitor and the fabric is a matte finish not shiny like it looked on my computer. This isn't a negative just something to be aware of.

The length on me came to just at the bottom of my knees. The best part about this dress is where the middle section seams fell on my torso. I have a big chest and a long torso which usually means a "normal" waist looks like an empire waist on me. This dress fit GREAT! The under bust seam allowed room for the girls and the waist seam actually hit me at...

BrunoLBrunoL: Absolutely love this dress! It will be my bridesmaids dress this coming April, and I cannot wait to see them all dressed up in this beautiful yet affordable dress! I am 4'11'' and about 100lbs, and the XS fits me like a glove! My sister is the same height and about 110+, with a large bust, and the small fit her perfectly as well. The dress comes tacked at the bust with a small stitch, which looks a bit awkward on larger breaststroke, but literally takes to seconds to remove, and lies perfectly afterwards! The fabric on this dress is so comfy and smooth, it stretches just enough to be flexible, but not enough to sag.
The pink color is soft and romantic, and the neckline has more than a enough room for a large bust, while still looking good on a small one. The length hits me several inches below the knee, but isn't unflattering at all! Again, I am thrilled with this purchase. Shipping was quick since I used Prime, and the dress arrived in a lovely zip bag, neatly folded. It is a bit difficult to iron using a conventional iron, I had to use a wet cloth to press it, but a good steaming should work perfectly, and once it's pressed, it hold the...
