Love it!!
All I can say is, LOVE IT! Definitely a vintage look, very classy and modest. Used size chart and we got the right fit. Order cute mustard pumps also off Amazon, and my daughter was set!!

white polka dots are silk screened onto stretchy cotton-spandex fabric, runs large
My daughter is 5'8", slim/medium build and wears a Medium 8-10 in most styles/brands but in other GownTown dresses she has to order Large. Except for this particular dress, light blue with white polka dots. The Large is too big, especially around the waist and bodice area. But, she loves the style so is returning for a Medium. In other words, GownTown dresses are inconsistent in sizing and it might just be trial and error. This particular dress fabric is a stretchy, spandex blend which is comfortable BUT the polka dots are silk screened on (painted) they are not part of the fabric design weave. The dress requires touch up ironing and this will be a challenge since you cannot touch an iron to these dots or they will melt. So, inside out or with a cloth in between iron and fabric or light steaming is the only way.

New favorite dress!
This is my new favorite dress! It’s so fun! It’s pretty and comfy! Love it. The bow in the back is my favorite part.

Gown Town Dresses Rock - Great Quality & Awesome Customer Service!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this dress! Another great dress from Gown Town...I own several from this company & am never disappointed! Bought a med which fits me (36-30-38) body perfectly! I buy many retro look dresses from well known higher end companies and I am every bit as happy with this one as those I have paid $150 for! Wore to Disneyland "Minne - Rock the Dots" Day!

LOVE This Dress!!!
What can I say? I *love* this dress! As a previous poster mentioned, it is not the sunny-lemon yellow that I thought it was going to be, but I know that all computer monitors are different, so it is certainly not the sellers fault. It is an odd shade of yellow, leaning more towards chartreuse, but not in a bad way. Just has a slightly greenish tone to the yellow. I must admit, if I had seen this dress at a store, I probably would have passed it by, based solely on the color, because I never thought it would be a becoming shade on me. But pair this dress with black accessories (I put a black belt, wide brimmed sun hat, kitten heels, petticoat, cardigan and gloves with it) and it looks amazing and also softens the color a bit.The fit of this dress is great too. Typically, I have a tremendously difficult time finding dresses that fit me properly. As per recommendations from other buyers of this dress and other GownTown dresses made with the same type of material, I ordered one size down from what their size chart said was my size. I am very glad I did, because this dress has a LOT of stretch! Its an unusual material, but I like it, and am happy that I actually found a dress that I didn't need to have altered to fit me right. I like the weight of fabric, and the dress is well-made.The style of this dress is super cute, and perfect for my vintage/retro closet! I love that it has sleeves...seems like so many retro-style dresses are sleeveless, and I don't care for showing my arms. I paired this dress with a black cardi (which looked super cute), but it looked equally great without the cardi. The neckline is lovely, and has very pretty detailing.I can tell right now that I will definitely be buying more dresses from GownTown, because of the awesomeness of this dress and their lightning fast shipping! I recommend this dress!

I LOVE THIS DRESS
I LOVE THIS DRESS! I was wary of the sizing, since when items tend to run small, even an XL doesn't work for my. I've got a large bust and am wider in the waist, and this dress still fits with just enough room for a perfect comfort fit (it's got a great bit of stretch as well!). The material is MUCH thicker than I expected, SO GREAT. I wore a bright red bra under it, and I was worried I'd have to wear a tank top, but not see-through at all!!I did wash this dress before wearing and had some issue with the collar. It's got interfacing in it that is somewhat plastic-y feeling and so when I washed in cold on delicate, it did wrinkle the collar some, and a warm iron didn't take all the wrinkle out. When needed, definitely hand wash, even though it's always a pain.Other than the collar, I've got no other complaints at this time, I love this dress and want more!

AMAZING QUALITY
I was super scared to order this dress because I have not had the best experiences online with clothes, but this dress fit like a glove. I an 5' 6" and 155 pounds and I bought a Large. I have a very large bust and dresses are often to tight in that area, but this was perfect. The material is quality and the zipper is on the side and hidden. I bought a petticoat with it, and I highly recommend that you do as well. My Christmas photos turned out great! Thank you!

I love the dress but the color was disappointing...
I will cover my dislikes first. One, the dress had no zipper. You put it over you. Second, it came wrinkled. You will need to press iron it. Third, my biggest issue, I ordered the mustard yellow and it came to me as a dull looking yellow (as show in photo). I was pretty bummed out about the yellow because in other photos, the mustard yellow was vibrant. It doesn't look like the photo at all. What I like? The bow in the back is really cute! The dress is comfortable and breathable. I'll keep it since I needed it for an event, but the yellow was buzz kill.
