Betsey Ruched Dress

Channel Marilyn in this number, inspired by the subtly sexy style of the 40s and 50s. The ruching of this dress will lovingly hug your curves, smoothing and enhancing while making you the star of the night. Made of a soft mesh, this dress has some great stretch while giving your curves some definition! The v-neck and the half sleeves are flattering and suggestive, giving you just enough coverage. In this, you'll be the leading lady!

Betsey Ruched Dress
Date:April 5, 2013
Cons: Style, Fit, Item not as described
I saw this dress online and thought wow, all the colors are vibrant, the fit looks amazing...so I ordered it. The dress fabric and color are so misrepresented on the web site. It looks really cheap and I could not believe I had just paid $128 for it.
I really wanted to like the dress, but the sizing was also off. It runs really small and was just completely off the charts not like the Lane Bryant sizing.
Would not recommend this item.

Beautiful Dress
Date:February 22, 2013
Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort
I have big chest and this dress just fits perfect and I got many compliments in it. I have the black polka dot one and the pink floral dress. I would recommend. If you have a stomach, get something that will hide it such as a girdle.

Does not use Lane Bryant Standard Fit Measurements
Date:February 5, 2013
I ordered this dress in a 0x - which is typically 14-16 by LB Standards. I got the dress today and tried to put it on and would not even go pass my shoulders. I called Kiyonna and told them my dilemma. I asked them what actual size is their size Ox. The representative told me that Ox is really a size 10-12. 1X is 14-16 and so on. I asked her how can you manufacture a dress starting at 10 when LB does not sell those sizes and of course she did not have an answer. Then I asked where would I find a return label to return it, oh shocker, they do not provide one -- I would have to pay out of pocket. I told her that was unacceptable as the product they were selling were not sized appropriately. Completely dissatisfied at the customer service I received. LB needs to partner more carefully with external vendors who size appropriately.

Very Disappointed
Date:September 11, 2012
Pros: Style
Cons: Fit, materials
I have wanted this dress ever since I saw it on the Kiyonna website last year. I was thrilled when Lane Bryant started selling Kiyonna dresses and even more thrilled when I found this dress (in red) on sale (down to $102 from $138). I waited patiently for over a week before my purchase came to the store. Finally opened up the box and was sorely disappointed with the material of the dress and the make of the dress. I am 5'6 and usually wear a 14/16 in LB dresses, so I ordered a size 1. I knew the dress was to be really tight but that was the look that I wanted. When I tried it on, it was super tight around my arms and my breasts were popping out of the v-neck part of the dress. I thought about going up a size to accommodate my upper body (bra size 42H) but then I knew the dress would be too loose around my waist and hips. It fit pretty well in those areas. I am very disappointed that a dress that costs over $100 was made out of some cheap polyester. I was expecting so much more. Sadly my dream dress will be going back to Kiyonna. :-(

Adorable unless you have a tummy
Date:August 22, 2012
Pros: Style
Cons: Fit
This is a beautiful dress. The fabric (I got the floral) is lovely. The top part of the dress is very flattering, and the length is perfect. I didn't even mind the ruching everywhere. My behind looked great! The dress would have been perfect if it weren't so form fitting. It is very tight, hugging your every curve. Unfortunately, that is also the downfall: if you have a tummy, the dress hugs that as well. Even Spanx couldn't flatten me enough to look good in this dress. Maybe if I were a size 14-16, that wouldn't be such an issue. As it is, I will be returning it. Kind of frustrating that I have to pay to ship it back...
