This dress is the most beautiful, flattering, make me look 30 lbs. lighter dress I have ever put on my body. I love this dress and I know that you will too. Do not hesitate to get this one girls...you will love it just as much as I do. |

I wore this dress to a wedding recently and I felt like all eyes were on me. The fit is amazing hugging your curves not clinging to them. I wore simple earrings, bare legs, and super high heels with my hair down in loose curls. I felt like a glamour girl from the fifties in this dress. I got tons of compliments on this dress. I Love, Love, love it. Thank you Kiyonna for making clothes for us plus size vixens.

I used this dress for my wedding dress and it was lovely. I took the advice of those who said this dress ran big and I regret that I did. It was too big and I had to get it altered. I recieved more compliments and felt absolutley amazing on my special day. I had searched the internet for a month everyday and then came across this dress. I can't say enough great things about it! Thanks for making my day a special one! I felt beautiful!

I always have a hard time finding dresses for events that come up and have to search for days and days to find something decent. When I stubbled upon the Kiyonna website anothers girls review of this dress made me decided to give it a try. I wore this dress to my best friends rehearsal dinnner and to my cousins wedding. I felt so confident wearing this dress because it hugged my curves so nicely and accented my features. I got so many compliments on how nice I looked in this dress! Give it a try. The dress fits true to size and you won't be disappointed.

I couldn't love this dress any more than I do. It arrived, I put it on and it fit like a glove. Of course, I need a "foundation garment" under it to keep everything tight but I love how it makes me feel - curvy and feminine. I receive loads of compliments when people see me in this dress. It's not a cheap purchase but it was worth every penny.

I wore this to my daughters wedding and it was a comfortable attractive dress and would recommend it highly.

I felt elegant. |

After finding this beautiful dress on Kiyonna's site and reading all of the great reviews, I decided to order the dress. I called customer service and they were so kind and helpful. I ordered the dress (with the black lace and nude underlay) less than a week before graduation and I received it just in time. This dress is gorgeous! It is vintage in feeling and very sexy without being too revealing. I have a very large chest and a smaller waist and the dress fits me like a glove. Thank you Kiyonna! I will definitely order from this site again!

I bought this dress online for my graduation, i had been looking around everywhere for a beautiful, classy dress and couldn't find one. I came across Kiyonna website and saw this dress. As soon as i saw it i fell in love with it. I ordered it and expect 4-10 days to recieve it. I had free shipping since the order was over 100, i was very happy about that. Well anyways; i got the dress in the mail 3 days after i had ordered it. I was so anxious to try it on and when i did I LOVED IT. It fit me so perfectly and showed off all of my curves. I am sooo happy with my buy. Thank you Kiyonna! I suggest this dress to anyone. I was expecting to buy a size 3x because i didn't want the dress to be to small, but i still ordered 2x anyway and it fits perfectttt. The size chart is very true. You will love this buy.

I bought this dress last year and I have worn it to everything from the Melbourne Cup Races to 50th birthdays and weddings. I am 32 and 5ft 10 tall, size 3x. I bought the bronze with brown lining and teamed it with muted bronze vintage style shoes. With this and a vintage bronze and cream fascinator I was stopped so many times at each function. Even being asked by a fashion writer if I was a plus size model. I feel very sexy and sophiscated in this, and its true that others tell you that you look good when you feel good.

This was my wardrobe choice for a Valentine's Day dinner dance and I can honestly say I felt like I was the most gorgeous woman there. This dress is nothing short of magic the way it fits and the way it looks when you're wearing it. I have fairly narrow shoulders, so it's difficult to find tops or dresses that sit at my shoulder bone the way they should without some tailoring. This dress sits perfectly everywhere. I received a ridiculous amount of compliments about how beautiful the dress was and how wonderful I looked, so I know without a doubt it was worth every penny.

Reviewer: Lena (, Ohio)

I wore this dress two years ago for my mother-in-law's wedding. I was her matron of honor and I wanted something classy to wear. I was 22 years old at the time but I am also a mother and this being a second marriage wedding, I wanted something other than the traditional bridesmaid dress (nothing chiffon or sleeveless). I needed a cocktail length dress to match my MIL's and when I found this boudoir dress, I went "Wow!". I thought the model looked stunning and I hoped I could pull it off as well as her. I received several compliments and the goldish, nude lining under the black lace looked fantastic with my MIL's gold and white skirt suit. I certainly felt beautiful and sexy without being over the top and it was appropriate in front of family. I liked the stretch but I wished the skirt was slightly more flowy and the neckline opened just a little more. All in all, a great quality piece. Thank you Kiyonna for designing beautiful, ageless clothing. The Lily Surplice dress is next on my list as a birthday date night dress!

I've lost weight since then and donated the dress to Enchanted Closet, which supports teen girls from low-income families. They collect formal wear and give the dresses away during prom season.
Really, more ladies need to know about Kiyonna's great clothes. You guys are a great alternative to Lane Bryant. I found you through a plus-size boutique near Perimeter Mall in Georgia; unfortunately, the store has since closed.

Reviewer: fmzcontralto (Woodbridge, VA)

My husband is taking me to a Christmas dinner dance...and I had utterly despaired of finding something flattering, sexy, elegant, and age-appropriate to wear. Then came Kiyonna.
I am absolutely beside myself. This dress is stunning. STUNNING. It looks better on me than any dress I've ever worn, with the exception of my custom-made/designed wedding dress. My younger daughter said "MOM. You look HOT!" and my fashionista grad student elder daughter said "Now *that* is flattering. You look fantastic, mom." I can't wait to see the look on my husband's face when he sees me in it.
I turned 50 this year and have added some post-menopausal pounds...my husband likes to say that I am charmingly zaftig and very sexy.
Problem is, most of the world doesn't find 50 year old, post-menopausal, zaftig women all that charming or sexy - and as a result the clothing available to us is not, shall we say, flattering. It says 'hide away, you're not very pleasant to look at.'
Well, balderdash. I feel great inside and I want my outside to show it. And now I can! Thank you, Kiyonna! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!! You have a customer for life.

I bought this dress (black lace/black lining) to surprise my fiance who had never seen me in a dress. I usually wear a size 18 but I got a 3x (22-24) just in case. Even though it is a little large in some areas on me it is perfect! I have never gotten so many compliments in one night; I've even had relatives ask to borrow it already. It is sexy but still conservative enough to wear to multiple functions. Well worth the price and I will be ordering from here again.

I am a large woman and haven't been able to wear a dress in a long time due to my size, especially my extremely large bottom. So, I went out on a limb and bought this one based on the reviews and the reviews were right on target. I ordered the black lace/nude lining and it is the most beautiful dress I have ever seen. I ordered a 4X based on the measurement scale Kiyonna provides and it fits perfectly. I am large at top, small waisted, and large at the bottom, and it is very flattering to my figure. I am wearing this for my 10th wedding anniversary. I am now a lifelong customer of Kiyonna. Finally, someone got large women's clothing right.

I bought this dress last holiday when my fiance and I were getting together and going to the theater and a beautiful dinner. #1 reason why I LOVE this dress, is that it's sooo wonderfully comfortable! Who'd a thunk it! A sexy, classy LBD (little black dress) that's actually comfortable! Reason #2, for us 'fuller' ladies =) it's ridiculously flattering! You will LOVE the way your body looks in this dress! And finally reason #3, I had gained a few pounds since that romantic date I mentioned above, and I still managed to look and feel wonderful in this dress. I even wore it pregnant!! Not kidding.
Go on, buy it!! It will definitely become a staple for years to come!

I'm short by most standards (5'2") and this dress hit at exactly the right spot on my legs. It slips over the head and has some stretch, so it hugs the curves without clinging. The sleeve/neckline area is unbelievably flattering. My large chest was emphasized tastefully and teasingly. I felt svelte and sexy, but completely appropriate for any event. The chocolate/chocolate is absolutely beautiful and a nice change from black. I highly recommend this dress!
