Customer Reviews Lauren Ralph Lauren Cape Georgette Cocktail Dress

So glad I found this. Have gained weight over the years and was looking for something to cover a tummy and not-so-toned arms. Sigh. Usually dresses make me feel completely frumpy so much so that I’ve been avoiding parties and galas. Thankfully this was so much better than I expected. Modern and so forgiving - it’s perfect for an event I have to attend. Get it if you can.

Nice material and beautifully crafted. Sort of difficult to get into re the side zipper and the cape, but once on it was comfortable.. I am 5”6”, 120 lbs with a tomboy figure and this dress didn’t fit me well. I bought the sz 4. It fit fine in the chest ( 36A but I I have a big rib cage ) . The waist and the hips especially were sized generously and so it was just too baggy for my straight figure. Tailoring it would have been difficult because of the side zipper and the lining. Loved the look on the model but not on me. Returning

This is the perfect sassy dress for an evening event! I love the lightweight fabric and the movement with the cape. You can wear a regular bra and the forgiving shape of the dress means NO SPANX! very stylish and comfortable!

I purchased this cape dress for a funeral and not a cocktail party. It is true to size and if you’re buxom like myself, I recommend sizing up. The fit was perfect and this is an elegant cape dress with quality material that can transition from warm to cold weather climates. The length hit just above the knee and I styled the dress with sateen black hosiery from Wolford, and a Eugenia Kim boaters hat with black lace covering. I admit that I was channeling Meghan Markle when she attended the Queen’s funeral. This dress is not bodycon nor too form-fitting and I was thrilled with the price point as well. I almost went with a cape dress 6x the cost. If you are buying this dress for a cocktail party, you can style it with bold jewelry and go bare-legged with open-toe heels. I bought 3 dresses online (another cape dress that was too voluminous), all considerably more expensive, and this dress and its quality looked more chic than its fashion counterparts. Thank you, Ralph Lauren! I was able to pay proper and demure respects to a beloved family member in an exquisitely designed cape dress! Ps: I apologize that there are no photos. This was for a funeral and I did not feel “right” snapping selfies at the time!

Beautiful dress...very slender fit in shoulders. I wear a size 4 (5'0, 129lbs, 36C, athletic build) in practically everything. Not this one. The shoulders are very slim, while waist and hips fit very well. Consider sizing up.

Definitely tight across the chest. I am not busty by any means, but even ordering a size up, and my chest is squished. It’s looser around the hips, which makes it comfortable, and I agree with other reviewers that is is a very flattering cut.

Perfect fit. Looks elegant, but is very comfortable.

I needed a dress in a pinch for a wedding. This dress is fantastic. It fit perfectly, accented where it should, and hid all my imperfections. I received so many compliments.

Loved it. The fabric is beautiful, it flows. I could have done with a smaller dress size but they don’t have it in stock. So, I am keeping this.

a classic!

It was amazing, it would look good on anyone.

OMG! Love this dress! Many compliments and was perfect for a black tie wedding. The only problem I had was trying to figure out how to put it on:-) This is my new go to black dress!

fits great!

good dress to hide any unwanted curves

beautiful color!

very comfortable

All is awesome. Understated elegance

Fit was perfect. Dress was better in person!

I'm 5'9 I weigh 155. Couldn't decide between the sizes so I went for a 12. It was too big and baggy. Beautiful dress, incredible Style.

This dress is beautiful and the color is a vibrant sapphire blue. Unfortunately, I found it ran very small across the bust -- large chested ladies beware! Since the fabric doesn't really have any stretch to it, it was obviously too tight so I had to send it back.

This is a really beautiful dress, but it runs very small in the chest - I ordered a 10 and a 12, and both were noticeably tight across my 36DD chest. The only difference between the sizes seemed to be in the hips. I wanted it for an event in a few days, so it is getting returned but I would consider ordering again in the future in a size big enough to accommodate "the girls" and having the rest tailored.
