 A True WOW Dress!, 10.17.2009

I looked everywhere- big stores, little stores, bridal shops, and nothing compared to the Flaunt dress! I ordered it in both blue and black, intending to decide on which one to wear for my niece's wedding, but kept both because they're incredible! I'm a Kiyonna size 3 with an ample bosom, and this dress packaged up all of me comfortably and elegantly, and the arms fit! The blue is a gorgeous true blue- I found patent pumps at Famous Footwear in the same blue that looked great with it, and wore a lapis oval pendant on a silver snake chain that sat right below the collarbone. The bride kept telling me I looked beautiful, and the pictures turned out great! A pair of high waist "Assets" pantyhose kept me firm the entire night without having to suck in my tummy after dinner. Can't ask any more from a dress than that!

This dress completely EXCEEDED my expectations when I received it! I pulled it out of the box, and it covered up my areas of concern with perfection! I'm excited to wear it next weekend!
The price with all the shipping and customs was quite high, but I'm sure I'll be wearing this dress for years to make it worth it!

Absolutely Stunning, 10.4.2009

I wore this dress to a black tie party. I had looked so many places trying to find the perfect dress which stores just don't cater to plus size women. This was my first time purchasing from KIYONNA and I thought the prices was rather expensive but upon receiving this dress I knew the price was well worth it. The dress made me feel beautiful, along with others complimenting me on how fetching I looked. I have since ordered two more dresses from KIYONNA. Thanks for making plus size women feel beautiful no matter what size they are.

The perfect dressy dress!, 9.21.2009

I've been purchasing clothes online for several years, though never before from a site specializing in sizes 10 and up. I am SO glad I learned about Kiyonna! This dress is to-die-for sexy, fits beautifully, and is definitely a quality piece. I wear a size 16/18 in most clothing, and I got a 2x in this dress because I wanted to make sure it wasn't too tight. I have an hourglass figure, so I was a little worried that the cut might look too provocative, but it isn't. It isn't tight, but it IS fitted, accentuating everything I wanted and the 3/4 sleeves are perfect camouflage for my arms. [I probably could have gotten away with a size 1 if I wanted to wear Spanx, but the size 2 looks great with just regular undies.] The neckline is just the right for wearing a delicate necklace, and a matching bracelet will be perfect since my wrists are exposed. The color is a perfect red, the fabric good year round...I can't find enough good things to say about this dress. I'll be buying another one as soon as I can fit it into my budget!

 My First Online Purchase, 9.19.2009

Terrific dress. This was the first dress I ever bought online. And, did I luck out. I'm short and have a large bust and can never find a dress that's flattering without being too revealing. This dress does a great job of making my curves look good. The top is almost a tad loose, but I just tug it down a bit in the back and it's fine. Other than that, it's perfect and I feel like dynamite every time I put it on. I've worn it to two weddings already.

Absolutely amazing!!!!!! I can't believe this dress!!! I have searched for years to find a dress like this one. The occasion for this dress is a special one and the dress had to be perfect. I am the 'Mistress of Ceremonies" for our best friends daughters wedding (she is like a daughter to us) and I didn't want to look like I was wearing a bag or tent. It was the Bride who found your site, after looking everywhere for a dress. You came to the rescue. I feel like this dress was made especially for me. I look stunning and feel incredible.

Favorite Dress! I bought this dress in black for my wedding rehearsal and needless to say, it was a hit and I got lots of compliments. I am extremely top heavy and with so many dresses made in the empire waist style....I never find a dress that looks right and this one finally looks great on my body type. I do plan on buying this dress in red and blue...it is worth the price. Thanks so much!

FANTASTIC, 9.19.2009

Most Fantastic Dress Ever! I purchased this dress for a wedding and I knew that I had a series of weddings come up this year. So I knew I needed a nice, easy to wear and travel with dress. This met and exceeded all my expectations and requirements! I looked and felt amazing. I received many compliments! This dress can be dressed up to wear to at a black tie event or it can be dressed to be a little more casual. It runs true to size and hides the problematic tummy area with the ruching in just the right place! The back is the must amazing part of the dress, it gives just the right cross between sexy and classy. Truly an amazing wonderful dress that is ultra comfortable. Wear it with the Spanx higher power panty and you will look flawless. Thank Kiyonna for this beautiful dress! Shipping was fantastic, I needed the dress right away and elected for overnight shipping. Ordered in time for them to ship the next day and the dress came & it was perfect...didn’t even need pressed....love it!

Tummy Area, 9.19.2009
|

Reviewer: Angela (Austin, TX)

Not good if your stomach is your problem area. This dress is excellent quality. The neckline is very flattering and the length is great. However, if your stomach is your problem area, this might not be the right dress for you. The 'ruching' does not stay in place and shifts around in a way that it can actually accent the belly area. I thought I looked pregnant in this dress, which is not at all how I want to look in a cocktail dress. I don't recommend this dress to anybody who thinks their stomach is their problem area.

Good Quality Just Not My Style, 9.19.2009

Reviewer: Maria (St. Paul, MN)

I received the black Flaunt dress in the mail today and I am sad that it just isn't the right dress for me. I will be sending it back but I have several other Kiyonna dresses so it's okay. My issue was that the gathering around the tummy actually accentuated my stomach more than it hides it. It was too much fabric and the eyes went right there. Great dress and good quality, just not for me.

Aussies can shop here with confidence. This dress looks great on, & this coming from someone who can never seem to find one that looks any good. It fits in all the right places, the ruching is just right. I used the Kiyonna size chart and it was accurate. Australians can shop here with confidence.

Dress it up or down, 9.19.2009

Reviewer: Julia (Ontario, )

For once, I can't wait to have a party to go to! This dress shows off everything I want to show off, and hides things I don't want to show off. I don't wear sleeveless things, but I can hardly ever find a nice dress that actually has sleeves, so for parties, I usually end up buying a sleeveless dress and wearing a cardigan or bolero on top, which makes the whole look less formal, and also means that I'm always wearing more layers than everyone else. This dress is very pretty and formal and I think it'll be great dressed up or dressed down. Now, I just need to get some sexy shoes like the model in the picture has!

Sophisticated, 9.19.2009

Reviewer: Kimberly (Los Alamitos, CA)

"Finally, a grown-up dress! So many websites featuring clothing for plus-size women are showing clothing either for teenagers or for much older women.... this site features grown-up-but-not-elderly clothing and here I found the perfect dress! Sophisticated, a good length, shows a nice amount of cleavage, has 3/4 sleeves and fits my curves nicely. It is close-fitting enough that any bulges you have below the waist will definitely show, so wear something to smooth them out and/or hold them in. My 46th anniversary is coming up and I can't wait - to wear this dress!"

I like it, but I need to wear SPANX, 9.19.2009
|
|
Reviewer: Jennie (Stockton, CA)
|
I bought the red version, and I like it. The ruching obscures the loose skin under my bust and the rolls on my back. The color is a bit darker than I expected, but still very nice. It's cleavagey, but not so much so that my mother starts yammering about turtlenecks. One nit, though - if you plan on wearing the front-seamed Spanx with this one, prepare for the possibility that said seam might show through the fabric.

All Year-Round Dress!! This dress is absolutely perfect! It runs very true to size. I'm usually a size 18 or 20 for my bottoms (depending on style) and a 16 for my tops, so naturally I got the 2X (18/20); it is so true to size that I need to take in the top a little since I'm smaller up there. The fabric is incredibly soft but not clingy so it doesn't accentuate fatty areas - it's just perfect! You can really fab it up with cool platforms and a modern wide belt or where it as is like the model - I love it!
