Just a couple of months ago I bought a different MUXXN dress, which I am OBSESSED WITH. I love it, have worn it several times and get compliments on it every time. (It's the "MUXXN Women's Retro 60s Boat Neck Fit and Flare Formal Party Dress", which I got in Navy.)
I got this one because I thought I might like the longer sleeves.
However, for me, this one fits very differently and I'm not fond of it. I'm returning the dress. Things to keep in mind if you're trying to decide on a style:
1. You do NOT need to size up with this style. I sized up with the boat neck dress because the waist and sleeves are quite fitted, but I found this one to be much looser.
2. Personally, I think it fits oddly, but maybe that's just my body type. The waist is fitted, but the chest area is much bigger/looser. Which normally would be okay for me since I have a pretty large chest at the moment, BUT the way the fabric hits me was just weird, and really unflattering. It's sort of loose on top but then gets oddly tight in the lower part of the chest area. It ended up cutting me off in a weird way. I found myself constantly pulling at it when I tried it on, trying to adjust it. I fear I would be yanking at it all night long if I wore this out, and probably feeling self-conscious. Overall, I just felt like it was tight and loose in exactly the wrong places, at least on the top part of the dress.
3. The ruched sides on the top also weren't flattering, in my view.
4. I don't like the fabric as much as the other MUXXN dress I got. This fabric is decent and fairly heavy, but somehow feels cheaper than my other dress. (Really, the other dress I got looks like it cost $200. This one, not so much, THOUGH it's still an amazing price for the overall quality..)
I fully realize that this reaction is based on how the dress fit my particular body type. I just found this one to be MUCH less streamlined and much less flattering than my other MUXXN dress.
