Sandy Shirtwaist Dress by ellos®

I just got this dress in. (Blue dot size L) I love it. I looks exactly as I had hoped. I feel like donning pearls and serving a luncheon while in it. The only complaint I have is that the sleeves are a tad snug. I plan to buy another in a different print.

True to size. Updated classic print.

The material flows easily and comfortable to wear.

I got this dress in the navy with white dots, and I absolutely love it! It is very form fitting, so if you are between sizes, go up one. I am 5 foot 7, 251 pounds, with a 42I bra size, and I found the 1X to be a good fit, but ONLY with a spanx body suit underneath to smooth out my full tummy.

It has a wonderful full skirt (somewhere between 3/4 and full circle) and looks great with a soft petticoat underneath, but doesn't necessarily need one. (I have a square dance petticoat from Malco Modes - Jennifer 582 model). Oh, and did I mention it has POCKETS?! REAL pockets, not tiny lady pockets. I like it so much, I'm buying two more today.

I got so many compliments on this dress. I paired it with a hot orange belt and espadrilles. Several people said it looked like something Lucy Ricardo would wear, which is what I was going for. The photo in my review shows the dress without a petticoat.

It was perfect

Love the way the skirt is full on this dress, without feeling cumbersome. The hidden pockets are deep and divine. Perfect length. Love how the top doesn't have excessive fabric and skims my curves.

This dress is super comfortable and the fabric is great. Looks good right out of the dryer. I do wish the self-tie was a little more substantial. It does run a little big, so if in doubt, go smaller.

I have 2 of these dresses. I love them both. I love the fit and the flare.

I am a fifties kid and shirtwaists were very popular.I love the style and ordered three of them from you. How- ever, the material wrinkles easily and I have to cut strong, because the dresses are not finished off.

Love this dress. Love the cap sleeve and the whole shirtwaist feel. Especially love the pockets.

I love this dress! It's a touch vintage and very figure flattering! The fabric has a touch of stretch, which makes it very easy to wear. The only thing that's a bummer is the skinny strip of matching fabric that's supposed to be the belt. I took that off right away and replaced it with a belt of my own. This dress will be a staple for ages!

I think this may be the perfect dress. I bought it in every color (still waiting on the burgandy with dots to ship; it's backordered.) It fits well, HAS POCKETS, is comfortable and looks nice. It's great for everyday wear or can easily be dressed up with a nice pair of shoes and some pearls. I think this style of dress would look great on every body type. I wish it came in more colors. A solid red would be nice, as would some floral prints. I only wear dresses, since I have 5 kids it's just an easy practical decision for me to only have to find one item of clothing each morning. I have been looking for a dress like this, with buttons (because I'm nursing a baby I need access LOL), pockets are a must-have and an easy to wash material. I need clothes that don't have to be treated special. This hits all of the markers. It also doesn't cost an arm and a leg, like some other similar dresses I have found. The final thing is the size. You can easily find nice dresses like this in straight sizes that are not too expensive, but most plus size dresses in this style cost around $100 for some reason. I know I've rambled (mom of 5 kids - can't think straight) but this is the best dress I've ever owned. I will try to come back later and post pictures of it in real life. Every time I wear this dress (in any color) I get tons of compliments on it.

I love this dress, I purchase the dress in a size 18W originally because I am a 18 for blouses and a 20W in pants. The top was a little snug but I have a large breast but the bottom fit perfectly. I return for the larger size and was pleasantly pleased and can't wait until my birthday to wear it.

I'm a sucker for shirt dresses, so I found this to be very pretty. It was cut somewhat small, however. If you want to buy this, I'd recommend going at least one size up from what you normally wear. I usually wear a 22/24 W (which is the size I initially bought this dress in), but exchanged it for a 26W. It fit me much better after that.

Super cute, summer weight. Looks polished enough for work (I wore it with a blazer). Also cute with flip flops and a sunhat!

I have the polka dot and pink stripe versions. This is such a great number, very serviceable and cute at the same time. Love love love it!

I ordered the appropriate size, but the dress is tighter than I'd like through the arms and waist, while blousy through the bust. The fabric is similar to that of a man's dress shirt, and overall was not that comfortable. The dress is cute when paired with a colorful shrug (I tried a red one) and navy espadrilles or sandals. I don't think the fit was what I was looking for, but it might be fantastic on another person!

I love the fit and everyone loved it. People asked where I got it.
