4.0 out of 5 stars It isn't slinky, but it's a comfy attractive dress, August 26, 2005

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Love the dress, but slightly dissapointed, January 2, 2004

By A Customer

It's a very lovely dress; very comfortable to wear and sexy. As previously mentioned in other reviews, it is a bit loose at the waist (unlike how the accompanying picture would seem to lead you to believe as it appears to cling elegantly to her shape). Purhaps a smaller size would have rectified this, and it fits loosely all over, though not as significantly so. I still enjoy wearing it however, and do not regret this purchase.

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money, August 15, 2004

By	Roxy P (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews

My first and last time ordering from Newport News. The dress looks cute in the picture, but it's pretty low quality. Not only is the waist HUGE the rest doesn't really hit the right places either. It's worth it to spend more for better quality than this.
