I recently bought this dress and was amazed at the excellent quality and the value for money. I can’t wait to wear it on my cruise.

I'm absolutely thrilled with this dress! Fantastic value- you could not find a better dress for the price. I am very pleasantly surprised by the quality!
The fit is excellent; I'm 5'7 32DD and the medium is very comfortable- form-fitting but also roomy enough that it isn't a struggle to get on and off! Can't wait to show off this dress at my next upscale event :)

Beautiful, head turning dress!
Absolutely beautiful! Wore to my son's wedding. Got so many compliments! Dress was well made, bead work was excellent! No need for a body suit underneath,but a backless bra is needed. I'm 5'1" 145lbs. and it came to the floor,with me wearing flats. This dress exceeded my expectations. Beads and sequins didn't come off easily either. I'll buy another, a different color! ??????

Stunning Look at a Stunning Price
Thrilled with this dress! I have purchased dressed for thousands of dollars at Nordstrom and for hundreds of dollars from other brands here on online and I am just as proud to step out in this little number. True, it doesn't have the couture detailing you'll find in those pricier dresses but no one's going to notice, including you!What I love about this dress is that it's FLATTERING! I'm 5'7" and 165 on a good day. I got the 10/12. It makes me look like a model! If you have a prominent pooch or other feature that really bothers you, you might want to wear some shapewear but most women can get away without that stuff. It's form fitting from the shoulders to the hips but not in a sausage-casing way... in a flowy, feminine way. And because the fitted area is covered in lace and beading, no VPL, lumps or other minor imperfections show.It will require either a strapless bra or one of those clear-strapped bras because it's just lace and beading over the shoulders. But it is a stunning look.And I was surprised to read women were wearing it as a costume. While I can certainly see how you can make it work as a costume, it does not scream "1920's".Go for it. I wouldn't steer you wrong.And if you found this review helpful, would you click, "yes"? I have dreams of becoming a Vine reviewer someday.

pay attention to measurements
My daughter is 5'5" tall, 123 lbs, 32B chest. We ordered a small, the length was perfect as was the area around the waist and hips, however the chest is slightly too large for her, especially under the arms where there was gapping. A smaller size would be too small everywhere else so we are going to have a seamstress friend take it in slightly under the arms so that the chest area fits better. Apart from that its a very fun dress, she is wearing it to Homecoming and unlike many of the dresses being sold for younger women these days this isn't slutty looking.

Pretty - long on me, otherwise well fitting.
What an amazing dress!So let me tell you the "bad" first. Because of all the sequin detail, it is just a little heavy. And because I am 5'3" it is a little long and I'll need to have it hemmed to wear it.Otherwise this is gorgeous. Seriously! I ordered a Large and it fits like a glove. I put on the zipper by myself with zero help. And I'm just amazed. Read my other reviews: I don't usually gush. But this is drool worthy.I love it. For reference on Ann Taylor dresses I wear a size 12.I received this dress from the vendor for review and evaluation.

Great find!
This dress was very classy. I am a musician and had to perform at a large Roaring 20's event. I just had a baby and it was hard to find a flapper dress that covered my arms a little better and wasn't extremely form fitting. This made me perform very confidently. Great find!

A bit snug but everyone loved the look
It was a hit! A bit snug but everyone loved the look!

The dress was beautiful, good quality
I ordered a XXL I'm 5'11 and about 215lbs according to my measurements a XXL was going to be a tight squeeze for me, but when I put it on the dress ended up being a little big I definitely could have orders an XL. The dress was beautiful, good quality, and comfy. Will definitely order another from this brand for a different 1920s party
Lisa K
I almost feel guilty it is so great!
I almost feel guilty! This dress feels like a much more expensive one. I only "dress up" on rare occasions and hate to spend hundreds on a dress that will mostly hang in my closet. I bought this for one of the "formal" nights on my cruise and am so happy I did. It will be perfect. Just as a guide, I am 5'4 and an hour glass 160lbs. My regular "store bought" size is an easy 14 and I bought the Large.
Rebecca Marrero
Beautiful Jazzy Class!
Beautiful dress! Was very, very pleased when it arrived and I tried it on!I'm 5'9", 153 lbs, and usually wear a size 14 since I do not like my dresses to fit tightly. Rather than ordering the 12/14, I ordered the 14/16, and it fit perfectly! I would definitely recommend this dress to anyone as I think the quality is definitely worth the low cost of this beautiful dress. My overall impression? Totally understated class!
Emily
Perfect Dress!
I wore this dress for a masquerade ball and it was beyond my expectations! I wasn't looking to spend a fortune on a dress but wanted something eye catching. This dress was perfect! I'm a size 4-6, 140lbs and the small fit perfect!
Cheri Baringer
Prettier in person
I purchased this dress in a size 14/16. It fit fine, a little on the loose side and a little stretchy but I loved it and got several compliments.
GRAPEJAM6860
Gorgeous in person.
Very comfortable and well made for the price. Had it altered to fit better in the waist.
Buffy Divine
High Quality
I never write product reviews but was compelled to do so because I am so impressed with the quality of this dress. The bead work is STUNNING and the sleeves are gorgeous. I bought this dress for a great gatsby themed party but I could honestly see myself wearing this out for New Years or a wedding in the future.

Bit of a surprise...
So I ordered the dress, then panicked a bit as some of the reviews for the company were not good.
Had some shipping issues where the package went to Canada...I live in New Mexico.
However, Retro Stage refunded my money, I reordered the dress and .... took a while but it came.
I am *ahem* not a small person. Typically get 14-16 in dresses, so I ordered the largest they had. The dress is a bit tight, but it fits and I LOVE how it looks. The sequins and bead work are quite good, and the overall look is great. My niece ended up wearing the dress to her Halloween party and received many, many compliments. Someone even asked her if it was her grandmothers dress. ::snicker:: (My mother would not be pleased if she knew, just SLIGHTLY the wrong generation ;)
She is quite a bit smaller than I am, so we had to adjust it a bit but it was easy enough to do.
So, taking into account everything, I will order from Retro Stage again. They responded well to my emails asking about the package heading to Canada instead of the States. Then did send me the dress that I ordered. The dress was exactly as described and better quality than I was expecting. If you have the time to wait for shipping, this really is the way to go.

Fits as expected, but size up for authenticity
I'm 5'3, 135 pounds and have a "mummy tummy". I ordered a 12/14 even though one or even two sizes smaller would have fit me. I intentionally ordered it large because I don't care for form fitting clothes (because of previously mentioned tummy), and because I was going for an authentic 1920s look for a Gatsby party. Women did not wear form fitting dresses in the 20s.
It is a beautiful dress. Seems to be well made and excellent quality.

Best dress ever!!!!!
The dress was true to size a perfect fit and very very affordable, I am wearing a size 18/20

I loved my dress and wore it to a military ball. I got so many compliments. I also wore a black maxi skirt underneath to give it a fuller look.

Perfect NYE Dress
So I had to order this dress twice. The first time it came from China and although it took a while to reach, it did get to me sooner than expected. It was in regular plastic wrapping. When I got it it didn't fit (I'm busty) so I had to return it. I had to return it to California (shipping was like $14) but outside of the shipping cost- the return process was super easy. The company is very responsive and I got my money back very quickly. They also sent a follow up email which was nice. I ordered a size up which was the largest they had and hoped for the best. They must've had it in stock in the states because I scored free shipping and it got to me quickly. This time is was in much nicer packaging with their name on it. I didn't think the dress was extra stretchy as some described, again I blame the 'girls'. I'm 5'9 and normally wear a 16-18 depending on the brand and material. The dress itself did have nice beading and was heavy for a $50 dress but not heavy like a $200 dress if that makes sense. The sheer part was fine because there's a double layer of sheer that goes mid thigh so my butt wouldn't be exposed if I bent over as some described. The only two negatives I would say is that I wish the sweetheart line wasn't cut so high (to be more vampy) and the zipper was very delicate for my boyfriends clumsy fat fingers- I was scared he was going to break it. Also there's no hook at the top but once it was zipped up it, it was secure. These were very minor considering the price. I received MANY compliments at the wedding we attended and it's safe to say we were considered best dressed. All in all it was very worth it. Just ensure that you give yourself enough time for shipping and return if it's coming from China in case you also need to order a different size.

This Dress Delivers
Wow! This dress delivers!!! I am 5'5", 170 lbs, 38DD and generally wear a 16 in a jean. I purchased the 14/16 size and this dress fit like a glove. It's stretchy and super comfortable. I wore about a 3 1/2" heel and the length was perfect. The quality is very nice. The other nice feature of this 1920s inspired dress is that I can wear it to a normal black tie event or to a dressy function in place of a black cocktail dress and not feel like I'm in a "costume". This dress is beautiful. Side Note: when I walked out to show my husband his eyes nearly fell out of his head he loved it so much.

Gorgeous Dress for the Price
I was a bit hesitant when I first ordered this dress - but I could NOT be happier! It was gorgeous - the sequins and bead work alone were out of this world. It also fit perfectly! I got the small - I'm 5'0 and about 105 lbs (for a point of reference). This dress definitely made me order more from this shop! As long as you have the time to wait for it to be shipped, I'd recommend this 100%!

Stunning- can't believe the price!
Absolutely gorgeous dress. The beadwork and sequins are are amazing! I'm 5'0, 124 lb so I ordered a small. It's a little long with the tassles. I will be wearing this to a Gatsby party!
gweniff
beautiful dress
Thanks to the reviews I was able to order the right size. Im size 14/16 my measurements are 48"x43"x51" I have big hips. I was worried about getting an xl or 2xl. I chose a XL. It fit perfect not tight. It sits underneath my butt when the transparent starts so I might need to wear something underneath. Im 5'6 230 lbs and length is perfect. Ordered Saturday ,received Monday im in California.
Abhinav
EXCELLENT CHOICE!
I normally wear an 6 or 8 or medium dress. I am rather large on top at a 34G. I was very happy withe medium. A little tighter than I think flapper dresses should be but I did not want to look junky in it. I received so many compliments. Nice quality too! I would order this again.
Jamie Mullendore
Awesome.
Awesome quality for the price! The beading is done quite well and it fit perfectly.
I am 5'1" tall and did not find the dress to be too long at all with heels. The skirt came to about 2" above my knees and the fringe to about 2" below my knee. I am 155lbs with a 36C bra size, the large fit just right. Not too tight and not too loose.
Barbara C.
Highly recommend!
Bought for my bridal shower (Gatsby themed). At the time I was around 150 lbs (Im 52, 36D) and I ordered an XL- it fit very nicely
Laura Turley
I am super impressed!
I am so impressed with this dress for the price. I really wasn't expecting much, but the detail and cut is great, and the sizing is perfect. My only slight gripe is that it has a little too much material around the armholes/side of bust, but as the dress I ordered was a 16 I'm guessing it would be a better fit for someone with a bigger bust! The dress fits perfectly otherwise and is a very flattering shape and cut, really gorgeous.

I am 135 lbs and usually size 6 (women's) and L (juniors) so I got the large and it's just a tad loose- just how I wanted it. Can't wait to wear it out

If you like it get it!
Love love loved this dress. I was a little hesistant about purchasing this dress. I'm happy I did. 2 day prime was the best. It did ride up a lil, but I have a big butt, it's expected. I machine washed it on cold and chit one sequence fell off. It has a lil stretch to it but not much. Overall for the money it was so worth it.

Far better made than expected for the price
This is an absolutely stunning dress. Far better made than expected for the price. The sequins are well secured and the fringing at the bottom wont pull away or fray easily. It was originally bought as the latest costume for my mannequin but it fits both me and my mannequin perfectly

Great for the $$!
The evening I wore this dress, I got so many compliments on it. It is such good quality, especially for the $$!! Being that the price was rather low, I figured I was going to be "getting what I paid for", but this was definitely a great surprise to receive. Very good quality dress and very flattering.

Perfect flapper dress
This dress is so pretty!! Just like the photo! I'm 5'4 and 135 pounds and got a medium just to be safe, but should have gotten a small, a little big in the shoulders and chest. But the detail is so gorgeous! For the price you can't go wrong!

Very Pretty Dress
I really like this dress. It is more gorgeous in person than online. The fit was smaller than I anticipated. The extra large fits more like a large. And it is short. I'm 5'10" and it comes just past my tushy.
Julia Liggy
Beyond beautiful!!!
This dress is intricate, well made, and falls beautifully! It also has plenty of length for those of us who run a little more conservative on our dresses. Classy in every way. My cleavage isn't showing, I'm fully covered, yet it's a fun and absolutely gorgeous dress! It fits pretty true to size.

Runs small
Gave the dress 4 stars because it really is very nice. Unfortunately it runs small. I am a size 10 and I could wear the dress but it was skin tight. Not flattering at all. Luckily a friend needed a dress for the same event and it fit her. Definitely need to order a size larger.

Runs very small
Beautiful dress! Bought it for a formal. It took awhile to get it so order early. It came in but it was too small. I usually wear a 14/16 and ordered a XXXL and it was 2 inches in the bust from meeting. My daughter now has a gorgeous Halloween costume this year. I wish I had time to order another larger one.

Great
Unlike someone else's negative review, my size medium matched the size chart perfectly and has a zipper. I've ordered 20 dresses from this site, and only one didn't match size chart, it was too big. I emailed customer service, and while I have to pay return shipping (to a warehouse in my USA), they will gladly take the return and let me buy a different size. And for quality? You can clearly see in the pics that they are beads and sequins sewn on. What was she expecting? The price and quality are great.
