LUOUSE 'Lana' Vintage 1950's Inspired Swing Evening Dress

Literally loved the dress. I did buy petticoat to give the effect I wanted. I would certainly order again and would definitely recommend.

I am a dress size 12-14 on top and dress size 14-16 on the bottom half. I have a size 34F bust, hour glass shaped and I am about 5ft 10ins tall. I ordered the size XL and it is a nice comfy fit on me. I was glad I ordered the XL as it just fits nice on me. The length of the dress is great as it falls just below my knees, which is fabulous when you have difficulty finding dresses for tall people.I have received a lot of lovely compliments about the dress and feel pretty wearing it. The dress comes with a white belt that is a little snug but you can wear it or leave it off, it’s your own personal preference.The material is not too heavy or wafer thin which is nice enough for comfort and style. The dress needs to be steam ironed to get heavy creases out but also to iron the pleats in to create the look on the dress. This took a lot of time and patience but once you get the hang of it, it looks lovely. I just used a normal iron with it set on low using the steam button which did the job perfectly. I have washed it on a cool 30 degree setting using a normal wash and it came out fine. I hung it straight up after washing then ironed it while it was still slightly damp to help with the pleats.You can wear this dress with or without a petticoat. I wore mine without a petticoat in the pictures shown so it still looks lovely without one but would recommend wearing a thin petticoat if you wanted to wear one because of the pleats. A bouffant petticoat would be too much for this dress.I wanted to give this dress a 5 star but the zip is very flimsy and feels like it gets stuck half way up, even though the dress wasn’t tight.Overall though, I absolutely love the dress and the unique colour/style of it! 😁👗👍

Really nice well cut dresses. We bought two 12s and two 10s (for a quartet) and they all fit us. A few things to note:- The sizes are actually L / M, not 12 / 10. We're a big 12 and a little 12 and both found the dresses fit fine. There's a tonne of room below the chest so really the only bit that's relevant size-wise is bust.- They're 75% cotton, not 97% as advertised (Probably a colour thing?)- Definitely don't expect to wear it straight out of the package. Due to the high cotton content, they definitely need a hot iron before you can wear it in public!

I've only just received the dress and haven't worn it out yet. I'm normally order a size 18, but these dresses were too big. So I ordered a size 16 this time, a bit snug on the waist otherwise is quite flattering. Lovely heavy material and the top is lined. The zip is stiff hence the 4stars. I had to zip it up to the back then wear it, as the zip was stiff around the lower back waist area. The dress is shorter than expected, just sits on the knee I'm only 5"4.

One of the first complaints of this dress is about the terrible material. People simply don't read the instructions. The material is stiff and scratchy when you first unpack it, but you're instructed to wash it. After washing the dress (I washed mine by hand, hung dry and ironed on low), the material loosens up, the colour settles down and becomes soft. I think it's very good material considering the price. 'better then Primark dress I'd imagine.The belt is also surprising good quality.This is a 9.99 dress. You can't even buy underwear for that price!Which is my concern. What are the ethics of this product? Slave labour? Deforestation?? Corners clearly had to be cut for some body to be making any money off this.And... It fits. I'm a boy, with... *clears throat* muscular shoulders. But surprisingly I think it looks quite flattering (for a boy). Wanted navy blue over the red, but it wasn't ready for my required delivery date, so... Yeah. My first... Dress (omg cringe)Hopefully it's completely ethical product 🤞

Wore this to Hampton Court flower show, was stopped constantly with compliments. Turns out it is cabbage ( leftover ) fabric from a Dolce & Gabbana factory. It is very good quality. Can't comment on the other colours, but at £9.99 it could be the best dress I have ever bought. I am going to buy another plain one and add some surface embellishment. The navy lemon print is unavailable now, but they are so well priced, it has to be worth a punt.I bought a size 12, fit like a dream.

I received this today and when I tried it on I was really impressed. I was a bit sceptical about whether it would fit me as buying over the internet can be hit or miss but with this purchase I am a very happy customer. I am 5ft 2 and the dress length falls a little beyond my knees, I have also put weight on over the past two years and maybe what I would describe as slightly on the chubby side but this dress looks so good that it does appear to hide that flab.

I read a lot of the reviews because I wasn't sure about buying a dress on-line due to measurements etc. But I was nicely surprised, The Material isn't cheap as stated in another review, it is a nice cotton, You cannot see through it, it fits me very well, the dress is just below the knee and I am 5'6", so no problem there either. I ordered a 14 and it is a good fit, (Be honest about your size). I tried on many dresses in John Lewis last week to try and get something for my Birthday and was really disappointed at the shabby stitch work, the poor fit and there was one, the zip broke at the bottom as my Daughter pulled it up........came right out of the material!!! And No it wasn't too small for me, that one cost £90.00. So I am more that happy with my purchase, Thank you! Oh, and delivery was very prompt.
