This is not a full review. I did have to return the dress. I wrote down the measurements but mistakenly mailed them back. Despite the warnings by some previous reviewers that the band that goes under your bust was extremely tight, I decided to chance it and order this dress anyway. I've worn dresses that were tight in the bust on many occasions, as I love vintage and thrift shopping. I assumed it would that sort of situation. Plus I adore the shade of grey. However, they were correct. I couldn't get the dress on.

I usually order a large. I am a size 10-12 (depending on brand) and a 36C. Due to the warnings I ordered up, an XL. This was my first product from Espiral. I am not aware if their clothing usually runs small. According to the official Espiral sizing chart, an XL should measure 40-31-40. Though I did accidentally return the measurements, they were still much smaller than that.

Though I couldn't wear the dress, I must say that it appeared to be well made. The color was just as pretty in person. I also liked the ruching on the shoulders. Maybe if a smaller person (or a person with a smaller rib cage) were to order two sizes up, this dress would work for them. Possibly someone who is usually a small should order a large to be sure that it will fit. Then, of course, the chest may be too large, so I don't really know if that's a good idea.


The dress is enclosed in a simple, plastic package. The front shows the dress in black, and the back shows it in grey. Also the back of the packaging shows other styles from this brand to get you excited about a future purchase. The dress is made of polyester and spandex. According to the package, you should wash this dress separately and let it drip dry. Of course, never bleach it.
