Absolutely love this dress! I bought size L (I also have the black in an XL but it felt a little large). My measurements are Bust 39", Waist 33", Hips 44". I found that the bust gaped a little but possible had the wrong bra underneath, an easy fix with a little pin. Wishing with everything I have that this is released in red!

Overall fits very well! It was too long, but as I'm only 4'10", I was expecting that. I was actually pleasantly surprised that, with heels, it was only a couple inches too long instead of the several I was anticipating. An easy fix and it only took me about an hour to hem.
The neckline is MUCH deeper than the product photos. I have a bountiful harvest, shall we say, so in order to avoid public indecency, I had to stitch the neckline in place. Again, an easy fix for me (and anyone who has basic sewing skills) but something to bear in mind.
Overall the quality of the dress is excellent. Nicely lined, good stitching throughout, has a hook and eye at the top of the back zipper, and the zipper is substantial (NOT a typical crappy invisible zip, bane of my existence). The velvet is soft and drapes beautifully. The shoulder pads give good shape. There is some stretch, which is appreciated and adds comfort!
I typically wear a US 10/12, or UK 14. My measurements are 42-31-43, and I also have very broad/muscular shoulders/back. I will add some photos after the event if I can!

I meeeeean, the picture speaks for itself! The dress is incredible and I'm absolutely obsessed with the rich blue color and sleeves. There is a minor fit issue but thats typical for my body shape. I have smaller breast so sizing charts never work out for me. I always have to size up for my hips which makes the top too big in the breast area. I'll just have to take it in to get it altered and then it will fit perfectly. 10/10 would purchase again!

This gown is exquisite and very reminiscent of Old Hollywood glamour. The fabric is thick, luxurious, and drapes beautifully. The low neckline, gathering around the hips, dramatic slit, and full sleeves are gorgeous touches. I'm 5'8 1/2 and the hem doesn't graze the ground (which I appreciate). I also love the fact that, despite the low neckline, I can wear a bra without it showing. I ordered an XS (my measurements are 33B-25-36) and the fit is perfect! I can't wait to do a shoot in this gown.

This is by far my favorite thing I've purchased from Vixen! It makes me feel so glamorous and the cut is super flattering on multiple body shapes and sizes. It also ended up being the dress I was proposed to in so it will forever now hold a special place in my heart. If you have any hesitations about buying this dress, don't! You will not regret it

This dress fits like a dream. It's super flattering. The velvet is rich and the fabric has a good weight to it. It has a lot of stretch. I felt like a goddess while wearing it.

Love this dress! It’s beyond comfortable and warm enough to wear in the north east during new years! The blue hue is stunning

I had the privilege of wearing the Royal blue Film Noir dress during my visit at 21 Royal recently and not only is it dramatic and stunning but also extremely comfortable and flattering. I'm a size XL and 5'5" and with 2 inches heels, the length was perfect. The cut is very low so be prepared to need a particular type of bra if you are not comfortable going without one. An absolute must to any formal wardrobe.

This dress is gorgeous and the velvet has a soft glimmer to it. 1000% recommend. My waist measures at 29" so I purchased a Medium. After receiving it, I should have gone with a small but it still fits just need some tape for the girls and the neckline sits a little lower than on the model. Still gorgeous and very comfortable! Had a hard time with the hair piece but that's a user error.

This dress is EVERYTHING! It's super comfortable and flattering. I have a perimenopause belly and the gathering really helps disguise that. The fabric is lush, thick, and has plenty of stretch. I felt truly gorgeous in this dress. For reference I am 5'5" with a waist of around 43-45 inches. I am wearing a 3XL.
Buy this dress!!!
If I could I would give it 100 stars . The quality of the material is just perfection and the style is everything I could ever go one for. I feel transported back in time and very sexy . I’m going to try to get the black one too
