GownTownWomen's 1950s V-Neck Adjustable Bowknot Swing Cocktail Dress

I used these dresses to costume a choir and bought 27 dresses ranging from size S-3XL in the blue and pink2. The fabric is thick with a good amount of stretch. The dress is cut very well and is flattering to a large range of body types. The cut of the bust in particular is very accommodating to both flat and well-endowed chests and so easy to fit precisely because you tie the straps as needed. One thing to note is that the pink does show the color of underwear underneath even though the chest area is doubled fabric. The straps are thick and the back is high so most bra styles can be worn easily with the dress.

Being short I often have a hard time finding a dress that fits me properly but the shoulders that tie allow it to adjust for a wonderful fit. The quality of the material is great, thicker with a good stretch making it look flattering and very comfortable to wear (not to mention able to handle slight weight changes). With this style of dress I often find that the skirt doesn't look very good without a petticoat but this one has a beautiful flare all on it's own. The bust is also super flattering without being too revealing. All this and it has pockets! Yeah I think I might get a couple more in different prints 😁

This dress is super flattering, has pockets, is adjustable at the shoulders, breastfeeding friendly. It has a nice amount of stretch in the material and while it’s challenging to iron, it doesn’t wrinkle easily. The silhouette is incredibly flattering. I bought it in a size medium in the blue and a small in black. I wore the blue for my baby’s baptism when I was 6mos postpartum and kept the black and wore it at her first birthday party. Get this dress. You will love it. Consider having it professionally pressed at the dry cleaners for best results. The black was fine but the blue I spent some time trying to iron.

I ordered the light blue in XL. The dress came super quick.The material is thick and stretchy and beautiful. The fabic felt great on. I normally wear an XL but it was too big. I thought abought getting a large but I decided not too for several reasons. First, the straps, they are so big. I played with the straps and you can actually tie them different ways and play with them a bit. On one hand, the straps being big is good because you can tighten them and bring the dress up as too not show so much cleavage. Next, there is the stitch on the front, it is awkward to say the least. It bunches where it should not bunch. I wear a 40D, the stitch just did not sit well. Had I kept the dress, I would have pulled the stitch out. I loved the length. I am 5'8 200 LBS and it came down to my the middle of my knee. I have spider veins on my upper legs so I get self concious about showing my legs. Last thing, as I was preparing it to go back in the bag, I zipped it up and the zipper appeared to break/skip. I pulled the zipper all the way down and pulled it up and it fixed it. It was weird and happened quick. That is a faulty zipper, what if it happens again ? I ordered something else. I love being able to order with Amazon and free returns. I rarely shop stores anymore.

Love this dress. Bought my actual size. There is stretch so if you are between sizes you won’t have to worry about sizing up. It also has pockets!!! I love fit and flare A line dresses so this was awesome. Would definitely purchase again.

I LOVE gowntown. However the zipper on this dress split the first time I wore it. Not sure if I just got a defective one or if it’s a design flaw. I was able to eventually coax it back into place. Dress is super stretchy so it fits my waist beautifully and still has room for my chest. I love that the toes at the top can be adjusted to allow for a better fit.

Love love love this dress. First off it has pockets. Very flattering. Wore this to a bridal shower… (tea party theme). If you are a top heavy person you will love this dress because it has a lot of room for your girls. Stretchy material is thick but not heavy, nice A-line, very comfortable. The shoulders are the straps so you can adjust how you like and tie a few different ways. Perfect dress to wear for a cocktail party, bridal shower, wedding, dinner date, etc.I did buy a crinoline to give it a little extra fluff but it’s not necessary.Great Buy… I got soo many compliments. And did I mention that it has pockets.I read some reviews that said they had issues with zipper. I honestly didn’t have to unzip to put dress on, I slipped it over my head…very easily. (Sometimes I need help with zipper so I avoid when I can. Lol.)Only issue with dress was it was pretty wrinkled when it shipped… but it was easy to iron.For reference I bought an XL. I’m 5”5 220 lbs. Dress size 14-16

Update. The 2nd large I ordered came as a XXL for the 2nd time. I’m now giving this 1 star...I’m so irritated.This dress is really well designed, and the fit is flattering, so I give it 4 stars. But the seller shipped the wrong size, taking it down to 3 stars, and the size chart is off. It is stretchy and runs large. I originally bought an XL, based off the size chart, but it was WAY too big. I am really busty and often need a size16 for my chest, usually size 10 elsewhere. It was too big all over. I then ordered a large and a medium, hoping to return the ones that are too big.A medium and a XXL arrived. Grrrr. I double checked my order details. I ordered correctly but they sent the wrong size. So now I’m ordering a 4th dress... hoping I get the size I ordered, twice now. The Medium fits, but is too tight in the bust, but I got into it-I’m a 38 FF in case it helps other busty ladies. Large will likely be perfect... hoping they ship the right size. I’m glad I allowed 2 weeks before my event. Thank goodness for fast shipping!!
