Customer Reviews Norma Kamali Sleeveless Shirred Waist Dress

The way the fabric drapes in crosswise folds across the front looks like it would be very forgiving of all kinds of figures, but on me, it hangs flat at the stomach and droops crosswise like a saggy pair of underpants below the navel. I thought the fabric would be lighter and therefore amenable to simply picking it up with the fingertips and adjusting the fold, placing it right where I want the fold to go, but it is heavy and slick, so it lies flat or hangs where it wants to, leaving (at least on my figure) an unsightly thick wad of fabric at the underpants level after a smooth waist, which makes it even more noticeable. The dress was comfortable, just gave me that odd "abdomen interest." Back it goes.

This dress was comfortable, but it had rouching down the center of the back, which looked very cheap and tacky to me. I loved the front though -- very sexy! Due to the back rouch, though, I'm returning it.

This is made of a soft stretchy material. I was looking for something more structured. Also, it had a lot of extra scrunchy fabric in the torso. Overall, I felt the the dress looked "meh".

Dress style is great and material is breathable; however, it's not made well. Mine came with thread missing around the neck and was starting to run.

Extremely cheap quality and materials for the price! The ruching on the back of the dress makes the fit on the back very strange - the material right above the ruched part poofs outward and creates a very strange "bulge". Also, the material of the dress is very thin such that it highlights a body's imperfections, rather than masking them. It's a very cheap material; the very thin, stretchy nylon is not worth the price, in my opinion. The only positive thing about this dress is that it has a classic, simple style, which is not always easy to find. Don't waste your money on this.

I really wanted to like this dress, but it is horrible. I clings to all the wrong places and is probably better suited for people that have no curves what so ever. The material was cheap and was itchy.
