Heroecol Vintage Dress

This vintage inspired dress from Heroecol is really cute. I love vintage dresses They are cut in a way that is fun and flirty as well as flattering for people of all shapes and sizes. This dress actually looks a lot better on me than it does in the pictures on the amazon.com listing. It is made from a thick cotton fabric. The fabric is not stiff, but definitely thicker and more sturdy than most modern dresses. There is a nice collar and a V-Neck, almost wrap style neckline. The dress comes with a matching wide fabric belt. The belt can be tied in the front in a pretty bow or in the back. I am terrible at tying pretty bows so I sometimes get frustrated with it and tie it in the back so I don’t have to look at my bad tying job. This dress does not have belt loops so if you choose not to wear the belt you can, but the belt really helps to accentuate the waist line. The dress does have an invisible zipper on one side. The zipper is not very long. It is just long enough to give enough space to get in and out of the dress. The sleeves go to just above my elbows. Each sleeve has buttons on the cuff. These buttons are merely decorative.

The skirt is larger and fuller than most modern dresses. It can be worn with or without a petticoat depending on how full you want the skirt to look. I personally prefer it with a petticoat. I think the petticoat accentuates the waist and gives an old fashioned and classy look. I have a 22-inch petticoat and it works perfectly with this dress.

I am about 5’6.5” tall and weigh about 135 pounds. I ordered it in a medium. The medium fits well. It is slightly larger in the waist than I would like, but if it was any smaller I would not be able to get it on and off easily. Because the zipper is short and on the side, between the armpit and the waist, it is a little harder to get on and off than a zipper down the back would be. The hem of the dress falls right at the top of my knees. I wear lots of bright colors so of course I have this dress in the bright pink. This fabric is solid pink and is fairly bright. It is not really a traditional color that I think of when I think of vintage dresses, but I really love it. It is very versatile. It can be worn with black, white, or pink shoes. With the neckline you can wear a variety of necklaces. It is really comfortable. I can happily wear this dress all day. It would be great for a date night, a themed party, or family photos. This dress is a great price and the quality is just as good as more expensive retro style dresses I have bought.


I kept the dress a secret from my husband and did a fun photo shoot as an anniversary gift for him. I wore hot pink heels with it. I had the pictures taken at a local museum that has military aircraft, tanks, and other vehicles. I got some great retro pinup inspired photos. This dress made a classy and sexy outfit without being overly exposed. My husband loves the photos and the dress.
