Topdress Women'sVintage Polka Audrey Dress 1950s Halter Retro Cocktail Dress

Adorable. I’m a size 16-18, the 3X fits me perfect. I’m an apple figure and also busty but. This is slimming in the waist. I’m going to return this for a different pattern, but the quality is just as I like. It is the thicker Poplin type of material. However, you do need to iron it. I like this material, even though it tends to wrinkle because it doesn’t cling. .. which is my number one requirement.

I purchased the Topdress Women’s Vintage Polka Audrey 1950s Halter Dress for a baby shower, and I absolutely love it. The retro style is stunning — it has that classic, elegant look that really stands out. The material feels nice, the fit was perfect, and it was very comfortable to wear the whole day. I received so many compliments on the color and the vintage silhouette. If you love a timeless, feminine look, this dress is a great choice.

Cute dress and fits perfectly. Great material and cute pattern. Doesn't stretch out after wearing it for an hour. Great price for this item. I received a lot of compliments on this dress and I'm definitely going to go order more from the same manufacturer

SIZE: I am generally in between sizes (in this case Medium and Large) but to err on the side of caution in accordance with other reviews, I ordered a Large. (For reference, my measurements are roughly 34-36" bust (I wear 34C or 36B bras depending on brand/fit), 28-31" waist depending on the day, 40-41" hips or so, and I'm 6'1" tall). I could probably have done just fine in a Medium; I can cinch the laceup in the back all the way tight in the large and I'm still by no means squished. The skirt falls just to my knee. Reasonably expected/flattering fit. Not too tight or too gappy/low cut in the chest. I couldn't get the removable waist tie to lay nicely in a bow without the fabric scrunching up, so I opted to have it as just a flat belt in the front and tie it in the back when I tried it on. I do think the tie gives it slightly more shape at the waist and makes for a nicer look. I bought a petticoat to wear underneath this based on other complaints that the skirt did not hang nicely otherwise, but being that I am just wearing it out to dinner and such, not as any kind of costume or theme thing, I found it kind of poofy and awkward looking with the petticoat; I like the look and the flattering lay of the dress without anything underneath. COLOR: I ordered the solid red. I was a little worried it would be a garish orange color, but I feel like it is true to advertised color. Brilliant bright red. No real complaints or concerns there; I would say overall I got what I ordered. QUALITY: Based on the product price, description, reviews, etc. The quality was about what I expected. The fabric is fairly stiff and not elastic but this is what I wanted and expected; I do not consider this a flaw. There were a few loose threads sticking out and such, which bothers a lot of people, but the structural integrity of the dress seems in tact and any loose threads or other minor defects seem removable or at least not distracting to the overall appearance. The dress did come very wrinkled (no shock there) but I would be CAREFUL ironing. The product description say you can iron it on low settings, but I attempted this and not only can I not get a lot of the wrinkles out, but I appear to have done some minor damage to the fabric. I think it is still wearable in public, but if you look too closely or in really good lighting, there are some spots where the fabric is a little bit shiny/discolored/heat damaged, even though I followed instructions, which is really unfortunate. The fabric is not sheer or abrasive/uncofortable on the skin, so no complaints there. Overall, so far, the dress is not flawless for sure, but I can't say I'm disappointed, either. I have not worn for more than a few minutes at this point, though, so I may add pictures or further details once I wear it to my Valentine's day date tonight :-)

I LOVE IT! It's absolutely adorable and so flattering. I wear my 50s dresses with a quality petticoat to get the big flair in the skirt. This fabric is actually a good quality thickness though. So for those who don't wear petticoats, it could still look great. I usually have a problem with these dresses not being made for larger busts. I'm a 42DDD and this looks so great on me! The secret is the stretchy back! Beneath the lace-up back is very stretchy so it would give a flattering fit on a wide range of bust sizes. I'm wearing a strapless bra in the picture. I was afraid the back might be too low to hide it, but that's not a problem at all. The side zipper is, of course, clutch! No help needed to get in an out. I'm impressed with the fabric thickness. These are usually a very cheap fabric. This one is durable and absolutely no transparency. The top is even lined. I usually wear a 2x in normal women's cloths (or an XL in unisex shirts). I sized up to a 3X because that's always a good idea in these types of dresses. And it's a perfect fit. So I say size up one size for sure. I'm bookmarking this dress to order other patterns later! For now, though, I can't wait to wear this to Halloween brunch! 100% recommend! UPDATE: My sister in law loves it so much, she ordered one for herself. Twinsies! UPDATE 2: Added some more pictures! Got to wear this out once already and got SO MANY compliments on it! Ordering it in red for Christmas! My friend who I had brunch with loved it so much she's ordering one too! We're going to convert them to straps though. Should be a simple sewing job. You also have the long belt as extra material if you need it. I'm going to make a matching headband for the Halloween one with the belt material. UPDATE 3: As promised, I bought it in red for Christmas. We just sewed the straps down in the back. I wore a bolero over it so we didn't pay much attention to making them look perfect. It was an easy job. again, I received a million compliments. I'm wearing it with the Malco Modes "Zooey" Chiffon Petticoat. "Zooey" is the fluff size I'm wearing. I tried a "Jennifer" but sent it back because it was too much puff. Invest in a good petticoat and you can buy all of these 50's dresses for cheap and they look amazing. The chiffon is also smooth and silky and not at all hot. And when the lace edge shows through, it's cute -- not obscene. Next wedding I get invited to, I'll be ordering one of the prints!

🍋💙 Tea Party Perfection, I wore this navy blue, lemon-print dress to a tea party–themed bridal shower, and it was absolutely perfect! The cotton fabric feels high-quality — not too heavy and not too light — and it looked even more beautiful in person than in the photos. Honestly, the advertisement doesn’t do it justice! I almost passed on it, but once I styled and accessorized it, the look exceeded expectations. The 3X-Large (Color: Lemon) fits beautifully and offers excellent wearability — perfect for Sunday services, elegant brunches, vacations, summer wine events, or when you’re channeling that effortless Catalina Spritzer vibe. The assignment was definitely met and more! — Affordable Styles by Posh Parker

The dress is cute, but the black version attracts SO MUCH LINT. It came with white pieces of lint on it, and barely got better with a wash. Kind of annoying.

I never do a review but I am in LOVE! Tried it on because I am wearing this next week to my job’s Havana Nights themed social. This dress fits perfectly. I ordered an XL but I could’ve actually gotten a L. Either is fine depending on the look you are going for. I am 186 pounds. I wanted a more tighter fit so I tightened the back and it was PERFECT. I am going to buy more colors. I was skeptical at first and almost ordered a XXL because everyone was saying to order up. I’m glad I went with my first mind and did the XL because I was able to make it fit how i wanted to thanks to the adjusting straps in the back that brings your waist and bust in! That part is stretchy. The color was everything. The quality of the fabric is amazing. Can’t wait to take pics and come back and upload them!! By the way, I am: 186 pounds, 5’2, 38DD, ordered size XL, dress falls a little below my knees (which is great for my job’s Havana Nights themed work event), could also get away with a L.
