Dress the Population Women's Corey Plunging V-Neck Mixed Media Cap Sleeve A-Line Midi Dress - Perfect for Cocktail Parties, Weddings & Evening Events

This is an absolutely lovely dress. The deep plunge is flattering, but not over the top (for reference, I have a 36H bust). Gorgeous color. It's made well and has nice structure to it, which enhances the fit. I like that the cap sleeves downplay my arm fat (unlike some of the other DTP dresses that are sleeveless). The chiffon skirt does a fabulous job hiding any extra flab or rolls you might be self-conscious about. In this picture, I'm not even wearing shapewear. My only complaint is the zipper - it keeps getting stuck at the waist where the two fabrics meet. The dress fits great (I ordered a 2XL), so there's no reason it shouldn't zip up easily and cleanly. Even with someone else helping, we couldn't get it to zip. Finally, I tried rubbing pencil lead on the zipper teeth and that did the trick. Although I love the color, I'm going to return it in favor of the same dress in black for more versatility.I ordered this dress twice because I thought it would be great for a masquerade party I was invited too. The first dress I ordered as Try Before You Buy. The sleeves were irregular, one being super tight and the other sitting an inch above my shoulder and the zipper gets stuck midway. You need to force it up. I returned It and ordered the same dress again thinking that the particular dress sent was defective. I ordered it again and found the second dress was a bit better in the sleeves but still didn’t fit well. I stupidly kept this second dress and found myself pinning down the sleeves to keep the dress from popping up on the shoulders. Zipper again gets caught and needs to be forced. NOT WORTH THE MONEY!I really wanted to like this, but I wasn’t able to zip it up. I ordered multiple styles from this brand and wasn’t able to get any of them to zip. I wear a size 6 bottoms and a medium top. But my bust is 38”. I ordered a large and XL knowing I would need it to fit on top. I was disappointed.It’s a really beautiful dress. Light and flowy fabric and a dark forest green. This would be very flattering on someone.This dress ran a tad small, so we had to return it, but DO NOT hesitate to get it!!Loved the color, but not the fit. The dress was so fitted in the bodice (almost corset like) that it forced the sleeves to pop up from the shoulders and it would have taken professional alterations to fix the sleeves. If the fabric of the bodice had been made of a more forgiving fabric, the sleeves would not have been a problem. As it was, I returned the dress. Disappointing.I normally would buy a size 10 or 12 in a dress. I bought this one in a large and extra-large to try on but neither one of them would zip. The fabric isn’t stretchy at all, so there isn’t any flexibility with the size.I am generally a size 10 and ordered this dress in a large. It fit well in the hips and waist, but was laughably small in the bust. I could zip it...but then I couldn't stand up straight because the sleeves were digging painfully into the back of my arms! Seems well made and was very cute in style, but bustier folks steer clear.I love this dress, it’s GORGEOUS and really wanted to keep it but it’s not meant for larger busted women. The beautiful fabric had no give so it just wouldn’t work. A pity because it’s SO PRETTY.Beautiful dress and great fit!!
