    Pair this with matte red lipstick and side parted curls. Pin ups kept it simple with jewelry, and so should you! For a night out, keep it to one statement piece, either a pair of diamond earrings or a jeweled cuff. If you want to wear this to the office, pair with a trend-right cropped blazer, and keep the accessories modest, such as a pair of pearls and a pearl cuff. And on your feet, wear classic pumps.

    Sexy Momma

    "I purchased this dress in black. IT is now my LITTLE BLACK DRESS that I can dress up or dress down. Very form fitting and shows off my best features."

    Kathleen B. (5/5)

    Thin fabric and felt cheaply made

    "When I opened this nearly 200 dress I was shocked. This appeared to be made like an old tube dress from years ago. The fabric is very thin and didn’t match the quality of the price. It was also really small! I have been trying to figure out how to return it."

    Marlene S. (1/5)

    Ruched for Success

    "I've gotten so many compliments on this dress. The ruched fabric does a great job in downplaying any in perfections I have, it also has a nice bodice v-neck that draws the eyes up. The dress is finished off with sleeves that slim the arm, while not making you over heat. I am 5'3, so the dress was a little long but that was easy to alter without changing the style. I would certainly buy it in every other color."

    Tamiller (5/5)

    Runs small; fit is close to body

    "This dress is made with a very lightweight fabric; it has a comfy stretch. However, the fit is a little too close too the body for my office; it's "hoochy" on me. I may keep for evenings out dancing or dinner. It definitely has a fun retro feel."

    Carolyn W. (3/5)

    Loved the Dress - But Sized Wrong

    "I have a lot of Kiyonna dresses and always wear a 1x. I ordered this one in 1x, but it fits WAY too tight and TOO TOO fitted, as if it was sized wrong. Even the sleeves were too tight and I have skinny arms. If I had known I would have gotten a size bigger and I think then it would have fit perfect. ** MY advice, order a size up!"

    Pandora (2/5)

    LOVE this Dress!!

    "When the dress arrived, I had reservations because the flower print looked a bit overwhelming. I tried the dress on and BAM! I fell in love. I ordered a 3x which is says 22/24 in the sizing chart (same as I wear in Lane Bryant) and the fit is amazing! Can't wait to wear this on my cruise/vacation to Miami/Cozumel!"

    Carla (4/5)

    Such a SEXY Dress!

    "This dress is an absolute jewel! I purchased it in Intense Blue and when I put this dress on, I was instantly in love. It's so flattering to my figure and the ruching hides EVERYTHING."

    Melissa (5/5)

    Perfection!

    "I initially got a 2x because I read some of the reviews and I was worried about the size of the sleeves; however, I had to return it for a 1x, which was a PERFECT FIT. It has been a LONG TIME since I felt comfortable dressing up and this dress fit every curve beautifully. I felt amazing and it was worth every penny!"

    Melissa (5/5)

    SO FLATTERING!

    "LOVE this dress! It is SO flattering on a "curvy" woman. Sleeves are just long enough to cover the upper arms, a structure and detailed bodice that flatters a larger chest, and a great length! The ruching looks great and is flattering to a fuller figure. I wore this dress to a wedding and danced all night - SO COMFORTABLE. Enough stretch to make dancing easy! The only reason I wouldn't give it five stars is that the sizes aren't really accurate. I ordered a "OX" which is supposed to fit a 10-12. I wear size 10 or 12 in almost everything, but this dress was *almost* too small. It's closer to a 10 than a 12. Other than that - LOVE IT!"

    Tricia (4/5)

    Good Idea, but Bad Execution

    "Absolutely not in compliance to a dimensional grid. I wear a 47-40-51 (1õ). I have 3 kiyonna dresses, one from an old collection in a size 0x. My other Kiyonna dress is the "Sweetheart Knit Wrap Dress" in a size 1x. Both dresses fit well. However, this dress was very small and I felt that the fabric could have been better. Good idea, but bad execution."
