 dissapointed July 22, 2010

This dress is not sexy, or even cute. I have a nice figure that is hidden undeneath this overly long, and baggy t-shirt. I would wear this to bed, and only if I were alone.
 Great for plus sizes! July 13, 2006

After the mixed reviews of this dress, I was a little hesitant to try it. But it turned out to be exactly what I wanted: a super-comfortable dress for wearing around the house that would look presentable enough for light public duty (answering the door, moving the sprinkler, neighborhood kids popping in, maybe going on a quick errand).
Right out of the package, I was impressed with the softness of the fabric. Yes, it's thin, but that's part of the appeal. It's a bit thicker than a normal t-shirt, but it drapes beautifully. It's so light and smooth, it feels almost like wearing nothing at all (which is what I wanted!). So it passed the comfort test with flying colors.
But what about how it looks? As a plus size, I was worried about wearing such a clingy (not tight) dress, but I have to say, this dress made me look like the plus-size version of the model in the picture. It's cute and sexy, and it makes even an apple like me look curvy. It's a bit longer than I expected (it hits just below the knee on my 5'3" frame), but better too long (you can always hem it) than too short.
My only regret is that I only bought two of the colors. I wish I had this dress in every color. If they bring it back next summer, I will definitely buy more of this dress.
 Great bargain. February 11, 2006

After reading the reviews of this dress, I ordered a small. I'm a size 6 or 8, and would usually order a medium, but I'm glad I went with the small- it's still a bit loose. It does NOT look like it looks on the model in the picture- it's much looser. But it's a good, casual black dress that I'm happy to have in my wardrobe for such a low price.
love it! February 1, 2006

I borrowed this dress from a friend for a trip to Aruba -- it was perfect to throw on for dinner, or over a swimsuit. The fit is great, my husband thought it was sexy, and it makes getting dressed easy. The model in the picture is 38/22/36 -- unless you look like that, your waist isn't going to either. BUT, the dress does go in at the waist much more than the Fresh Produce dresses I have, and it will shrink like t-shirts do after washing. The small is cut to fit a younger shape, not like something at Talbots that is made to hide the years.
It isn't slinky, but it's a comfy attractive dress August 26, 2005

Despite the sultry model in the picture with her form-fitting pose, this is is essentially a t-shirt dress with a V-neck. It's comfortable, but I think of it as something to wear when I'm tired of jeans -- certainly not for dress-up.
It certainly looks nice, and as the male reviewer's comment indicates, men think it's sexy. (I've had more than a few compliments while wearing it.) The dress _doesn't_ have a tight waist, that's true; but it's well-suited to a standalone belt, so I have no trouble with it. The V-neck practically cries for a pretty necklace, so you'll find that you've gussied yourself up just to go to the grocery store.
I've had this dress for a couple of years -- in fact, I bought a second one in turquoise -- and it looks as good as new. (I wash it in cold on the delicate cycle of the washing machine.) That's pretty high praise for a dress that's an inexpensive as this, so I recommend it.
Because of the success of this dress, I purchased additional items from Newport News; I've found their quality to be highly variable. They're good at unadorned, straightforward clothes (a set of 3 leggings for $10 is adequate, if slightly odd colorwise... but heck, it was only $10!), but I've had less positive response to anything with embroidery or decoration. That's where the low price catches up with you.
