The kind folks at Angvns provided me with this
sleeveless dress (size: Medium, color: Purple) in exchange for sharing
my unbiased review...
This is a gorgeous dress, as pictured, and the color arrived as pictured online. The fit is very flattering on a curvy figure but sizing was a bit tricky. I only say that because I've found that this brand tends to be very good at having fabric blends with good stretch so instead of getting my usual (whatever fits my 38" hips), I chanced going with the smaller of the two.
I had a feeling the draping would make the top half too large on me, if I'd gone with a size Large and I think I was right. For reference, I ordered a Medium, after reviewing the sizing info in the product description. I'm 5'2" and typically wear a size 6, 32C bust, 29" waist, and am pear shaped with 38" hips.
Love the draping neckline, as it can be worn higher or lower depending on your preference and the slim waistline is flattering, both in front and back.
No need to wear a specific type of bra or a slip, it's not lined but the fabric is modest. The shirring eliminates the need for wearing anything slimming underneath. This is an easy dress.
The length falls well above the knees. I wouldn't likely wear this anywhere except for date night with my husband, as it's a little too sexy for my everyday taste. The material is forgiving and comfortable and the design down the front draws the eye to an hourglass shape.
The fabric is of a nice weight. It's thick enough to not be see through and thin enough to be cool for summer months. I've had it for two months and it's holding up beautifully. It arrived with no loose seams.
I machine washed it in warm water before wearing and hung dry. Didn't experience any shrinking, fading or pilling. Used a lingerie wash bag to protect it and prevent snagging.
I think for the current price of under $19, this is a really good value. Hang drying, it comes out completely wrinkle free, so nice. This would be perfect for travel for this reason too.
Uploading some photos so you can get a closer look at it upon arrival and see what I mean. I don't typically post photos of myself in my reviews but after seeing this didn't review well, I was surprised and thought I'd post some.
I'd consider sizing down if you're close to or between two sizes. Both the length and neckline can be worn higher or lower depending on the look you desire, I'm including photos that reflect both. Smile. Hope this is helpful!
