GRACE KARIN Boatneck Sleeveless Vintage Tea Dress with Belt

Comment

This is more a warning review! I ordered this dress originally in a large after reading other reviews as I am 59" and 150lbs but when I received the dress it had at least 2 extra inches in the waist. Other than the size I LOVED the dress; the cotton felt great and the shape was wonderful (posted picture of original dress). I have no idea how to sew so I decided to send it back and reorder the same dress in a medium. When it arrived I was so excited but as soon as I opened it I felt it was NOT the same dress. The second dress was mostly a polyester material and so thin you could see my tattoo on my stomach through the material and the sewing was terrible and uneven. I contacted the seller multiple times and he wouldnt tell me why the material was wrong. Finally after reading a little further I missed a warning in the description that states to MAKE sure youre buying from GK Queen as others are imitation and lower quality. I went backed and looked and sure enough the second time I bought was from some Aikan. So frustrated right now Im just giving up on the dress as Ive had nothing but bad luck with it.

I followed the size chart, and ordered based on my measurements, and Im a curvy girl. It fit perfectly. Im 51", so it hits me right below the knees. I didnt have any of the fit issues that Ive seen in other reviews. You dont really need the petticoat, but it hangs sort of sad if you dont wear one. I put a red ribbon belt on it instead of the black one that came with it. I thought it was cuter.

This dress has become my favorite wardrobe item since I ordered it a week or two ago. The fabric is a thick, unlined cotton that, although it doesnt feel like a ball gown, is very comfortable and feels nice enough that Im confident wearing it to formal events. The cut is very flattering to someone with a pear-shaped figure, and especially when paired with a petticoat it is enough to make you feel cute as heck! If youre already considering it, this is definitely a dress I would recommend. The one and only down side to me is the cleaning requirements for this dress. When it arrived in the mail the tag said "dry clean" (but not "dry clean only"), which as a starving college student was almost a deal breaker for me. Still I was so in love with the style that, after reading more of the reviews, I decided to try hand washing the dress in cold water and- voila! It worked perfectly without any color loss, stretching, or shrinking, and even when put through a cold cycle in the washing machine it works perfectly so long as you lay it flat to dry rather than tumble drying it. It means that a little more time goes into cleaning the dress than usual, but it honestly IS worth it given how nice the dress is for such a low price. Photos shown are with and without a petticoat.
