Evan Picone Sleeveless Marilyn Dress

"The dress is elegant, but I didn't keep it b/c it didn't look as good as other black dresses that I ordered."

"Height: 5' 5"

Size: 10

Bust: 34 DD

Figure: Curvy

Complexion: Pale



I took a chance at purchasing this dress online. The model in the picture looks so stunning that I had to give this a try. I can not believe how much I am happy with this dress. There are a few things that I will note about the dress that I wanted to know when reading reviews. So here they are:



The dress feels INCREDIBLE. The fabric has some good weight to it so that it fits your body perfectly without being to clingy to show any imperfections. When I first saw this dress I was concerned it would almost fit like spandex but it does not.



The bust fits perfect! It is sexy yet shows no cleavage which was really a big concern for me since I am a busty DD and I do not prefer to show cleavage.



The length was another concern. I didn't want a dress that was too short yet I didn't want a longer dress for summer. After reading a few reviews and seeing the length measurements I decided to get a size 10P instead of a regular hoping that it would be the perfect length. I am glad I made this chancy decision. The regular size sits about mid calf and my size P sits right at my knee for the length I was seeking. If you want to show a little more leg then I really suggest trying a Petite.



Like all the other reviews say....It really can be dressed up or down. I am pairing it with silver clutch/shoes and it is striking! I can't wait to get all dolled up and wear it!



The color is pretty much Exactly like the picture and is becoming a popular color. I see why after trying this on. It really looks great on any skin tone.



Perfect, Perfect, Perfect!"

"RECEIVED THIS DRESS TODAY 5/24/11. THIS DRESS IS JUST GORGEOUS AND THE DETAIL AND THE FIT AMAZING. IF ANYONE NEEDS A DRESS FOR A WEDDING OR COCKTAIL PARTY OR FOR ANY OCCASION. PERFECT!!!"

"After trying on literally over 2 dozen dresses in the store for my 40th high school reunion, I decided to buy this dress online, based on the many glowing reviews it received. It is GORGEOUS; the purple is so flattering, the empire waist and flowing skirt hide one's less attractive middle, and I received many compliments on it. My 25 and 30-yr-old daughters RAVED about how it looked on me and they tell me the truth! I'm so pleased with this dress that I plan to purchase the Marilyn cap-sleeve dress as well. Another plus is that my racer-back bra worked beautifully with the halter dress and the coverage was perfect...sexy enough, without showing too much. HIGHLY recommend this dress!"

"I was looking for an evening dress to wear to a function at the end of the month. I recieved this dress last week and absolutely love it! It is a great fit for me. I am 5' 10" and curvy (36, 32, 42) and this dress flatters in all the right places. It accentuates a small waist and flows nicely over the hips. Love, love , love this dress! Tried it on for my fiance and he approved too ;-)"

"A very forgiving dress and is a great fit even for those of us who are clearly not a D+ (as many have written about). My dress came tiered in the skirt and I'm not sure I would have ordered the dress had I known this. I didn't see this in the description nor does this dress appear tiered in the picture. This dress might not be a keeper despite how nice it is."

"THIS IS THE BEST DRESS EVER MADE!!!!I ORDERED IT ONLINE AND AS SOON AS I RECEIVED IT I TRIED IT ON RIGHT OUT OF THE SHOWER (NAKED) WITH NO SUPPORT HOSE OR GIRDLES OR A BRA.I AM 5'3 AND 130 POUNDS,WITH THREE KIDS I USUALLY NEED A LITTLE HELP IN THE GUT AREA.BUT NOT WITH THIS DRESS.IF YOUR A FULL C CUP OR EVEN A D THE NECKLINE IS PERFECT! IF YOU ARE UNDER 5'5 YOU WILL NEED TO HAVE IT ALTERED BUT THE DRESS IS NOT COMPROMISED WITH THE ALTERATIONS.CHECK THE SIZE CHART AND TAKE YOUR MEASUREMENTS.THE DRESS IS VERY TRUE TO SIZE! THANKS AGAIN EVAN PICONE!"

"I have many little black dresses in my closet. Many that I have never even taken the tags off of or worn because I am not sure I like them or feel comfortable. This one is by far the most flattering and comfortable one. And the price was great too. My husband loved it and he doesn't care so much about clothes. I am a size 4-6 I got the 6 and it looks perfect. Great for a curvy girl that wants to show off toned arms and shoulders. I tried it on without and bra and it's acceptable due to the cut of the dress, but I think the right bra would make it even better. If anyone has a recommendation for great bra (T back probably) please let me know. I may get it in blue now. The black is just stunning. Great for a night out and maybe for work with the right jacket or sweater and lower heeled shoes.

I also order some INC pants that are great but they do run a bit big so I will buying the smaller size in them.

I was missing half of my order (the lingerie) when the dress came after 4 days but Macy's promptly sent it out as soon as I noticed and let them know. Great clothes and great service. First time buying clothes online other than shoes. Very Happy!"

"I bought this dress to wear to a wedding. It is FABULOUS!!! I am a very curvy 5' 8", 36DD and this dress provides more than ample coverage and is still very sexy. Sooo flattering!!! I was hesitant to order online I bought the size 12 in Grape Mist, and it's a perfect fit. Runs true to size. It isn't too clingy, covers my tummy bulge. The fabric is fluid, not too light or heavy, you could wear this easily with a wrap in cooler weather. The color is gorgeous. Every woman needs to own this dress!!"

"I love this dress! It hits my knees in just the right place so I am not cut in half as other dresses can do. The dress really does hide all of my flaws and accentuates everything on my body I like. I also love that the dress is able to keep the girls from falling out which happens more often then not. My only issue with the dress is that the material makes it almost seem like a winter dress but I'm sure paired with the right shoes and light sweater no one else would say the same."
