Amazon Necessities Girls’s Traditional Cap Sleeve Wrap Costume (Obtainable in Plus Dimension)

Beautiful Dress!
I didn’t have high expectations but was pleasantly surprised. I’m 5’5″, 175 lbs, but have a big belly due to abdominal surgery years ago. This dress is very flattering. I ordered the XL and with the sash you can cinch the waist. It’s comfortable and clingy in all the right places. The fabric is heavy enough that it’s not see through. A great buy!

B on fit, A+ on fabric
Ordered this for a funeral based solely on color (black), fabric (stretchy), cost (inexpensive), and delivery speed (fast) as I needed something in a hurry that would hopefully require minimal alterations before the sudden event. I’ll break this review into a few parts.Firstly, can’t complain about something that looks decent and costs under $50. If I had more freedom of choice I might have gotten one of the sale prints but the event determined the need for subdued. Received it in two days, giving me enough time to wash it before wearing.Secondly, the fabric is a slinky kind of knit, not too thin but not too heavy. It was tolerable outdoors in triple-digit-heat-index weather. It had great movement too; I didn’t feel at all restricted climbing into and out of a tall vehicle, and while walking/standing all day. For me it required a sweater indoors, but the funeral parlor was admittedly kept cold. After washing and drying, I hung it up and didn’t need to iron; it also showed no wrinkles at the end of wearing all day.Thirdly, the fit. I’m short with an Unfortunately Sized bust; I have to fit everything to that part of the anatomy and hope I can make enough alterations elsewhere to not look horrible. This is a true wrap dress and that aspect helped me in getting a decent fit at waist and hips. The armholes for me gapped a little; the shoulders are a little too tall (admittedly my shoulder-to-bust distance is shorter than most manufacturers cut and I always have this problem). I wore a black bra underneath to minimize any undergarment peek but I’ll need to make a formal alteration at some point. Sleeves would have solved this problem but I didn’t want to go with longer sleeves in the warm weather. I also needed to add two safety pins: one next to the button for security — my button held fine but I didn’t want to tempt fate based on some experiences in other reviews here — and one where the neckline overlapped as leaning forward caused the front to gap indecently open. A person with a smaller bust might not have as much of a gap problem but the more generously endowed may consider the mighty safety pin. A small snap added to the overlap would also solve the gap problem.Overall I have no complaints as this did everything I needed it to do, and comfortably enough to consider ordering the dress in another color.

Great quality & price
I got a Large -Red & Black Print. I am 5′ Large or 12. 36C. I was very pleased with the heavy weight of this dress. The heavy being not light weight, but weighty quality of the material. Not sheer, it is silky, but not slippery, the cut & shape is beautiful. Got what I wanted! If you have a belly like me, or are apple shaped you will need to size up… if you are large chested size up!!! I forgot there was a button and just pulled it on over my head, the button stayed closed.. The bottom front was weird until I figured out I had to adjust the waist to get the hem to balance in front…You adjust the fit where you tie it., at the waist, adjust by reaching under the flap waist part and find the tie going toward the back on your right and pull on the shorter tie on your left to make it longer. You should end up with a longer tie. Length, if you are 5′ the dress is around 2″ below the knee, but not like you are wearing a tea length dress. I really like it and if I wore dresses I would buy 3 of these, but I only need one for a wedding. In my opinion the true wrap dress is one of the best inventions, for women by a woman ever! Because you are not locked into a waist size, it is adjustable!! If I could afford a real Diane Von Furstenberg dress, I wold jump on it!. Thank you Amazon Essentials, I love the “Try Before You Buy” I didn’t need 7 days after I got it, I needed 7 minutes to put it on & buy it!!!

Keeper. Pretty versatile dress
I really like this dress, especially for the price. I work in education so I needed some thing for those hot days in a school where there’s no air conditioning and I need to move around a lot. It has just enough sleeve that it will cover the sleeve or all. It’s comfortable and it doesn’t cost a lot and it still looks professional. I was worried about the chest going too low, but at least on my body type it doesn’t look too bad. It fits well and I can tell it will be comfortable throughout the day. I did cut off the tag in the back by the neck because I could tell that it was going to irritate me. The arms fit well. They don’t give a ton of space that you can see up and down your back. They closed up the hall so it’s just enough space for your arm only.

Love this dress. So comfortable.

A nice fitting/ looking dress
