Customer Reviews

It isn’t slinky, but it’s a comfy attractive dress
Despite the sultry model in the picture with her form-fitting pose, this is is essentially a t-shirt dress with a V-neck. It’s comfortable, but I think of it as something to wear when I’m tired of jeans — certainly not for dress-up.

It certainly looks nice, and as the male reviewer’s comment indicates, men think it’s sexy. (I’ve had more than a few compliments while wearing it.) The dress _doesn’t_ have a tight waist, that’s true; but it’s well-suited to a standalone belt, so I have no trouble with it. The V-neck practically cries for a pretty necklace, so you’ll find that you’ve gussied yourself up just to go to the grocery store.

I’ve had this dress for a couple of years — in fact, I bought a second one in turquoise — and it looks as good as new. (I wash it in cold on the delicate cycle of the washing machine.) That’s pretty high praise for a dress that’s an inexpensive as this, so I recommend it.

Because of the success of this dress, I purchased additional items from Newport News; I’ve found their quality to be highly variable. They’re good at unadorned, straightforward clothes (a set of 3 leggings for $10 is adequate, if slightly odd colorwise… but heck, it was only $10!), but I’ve had less positive response to anything with embroidery or decoration. That’s where the low price catches up with you.

Great Basic Little Black Dress
Although rather cheaply made (you won’t get years of life out of this material), this dress is still worth adding to your wardrobe. Classic cut never goes out of style, and you can easily formalize it up or down with the appropriate accessories.
