Olivette corset satin maxi dress
originally posted on nordstrom.com
It is a well made dress and very structured. The color blue is a lovely shade- subtle and muted. We are having an issue with the zipper. It takes two people to assist zipping due to thickness of the fabric at the beginning of the corset mid back. Any larger size - the dress may be too loose. Perfect fit (snug) once zipped. But we are afraid the zipper may break.

I am 5’6 and weigh 180, this dress is gorgeous. It’s slimming in the waist and actually fits my 36D chest without being too tight or too loose in the hips. The material is very pretty and flattering. It’s hard to find a sleek dress for curvy women but this is a great one

I loved the feel and color of the fabric, but the fit of this dress was super weird. The top portion is great but the hips are super wide and have a lot of extra fabric. If you have an athletic/straight build, you’ll need to get this taken in at the hips to fit. Also, the legs are tight so if you’re wearing this to an event (ie wedding) you won’t be able to dance.

The dress was beautiful, but it had a problem with the area where the corset meets the skirt. The fabric was loose in that part, it’s not for all body types. But it was a dream otherwise.
Super cute online, but so poorly made my daughter can't wear it. We bought the blue and the seems are very puckered and the yoke in the front is uneven. So incredibly disappointed as she was invited to a last minute formal dance.
I’ll start by saying it’s really a gorgeous dress, but it just didn’t work for me functionally. The material felt like quality and the corset made my waist look awesome. However it was so tight in the thigh area making it hard to take large steps and you can forget dancing. I could’ve dealt with all that. The deal breaker was there was barely any stretch in the fabric so I was unable to pull the skirt up past my bum to use the restroom when zipped. I would’ve had to take the whole dress off. A size up would’ve been loose in the torso and waist.
Dress was waaaay to small even in bigger sizes it didn’t fit my hips so if you are curvy this is not the dress for you. Unfortunately it is really beautiful just didn’t fit. It is also really heavy surprisingly.
Please Beware that this dress is made for someone who is curvy if you have a non-curvy body type other brands will cater to your body type or else you will be spending lots of money altering it. the top can be adjusted so much but the hip region is a bit tight, and the waist needs to be brought in a bit. Other than that I am happy with the material used, it has SOME stretch enough to be able to move around and sit comfortably. Look forward to buying more from House of CB.my measurements areBUST: 45ish inches 38DDD-GWaist: 33 inches (I need alterations here)Hip: 45 inches
Most definitely needs tailored if you don’t have the exact figure pictured. The top corset part fit perfectly but where that met the lower half of the dress there was so much extra fabric, almost balloon like, and it does not hug the body as shown in photos. BBL not included lol! All in all though it is pretty though, just needs extra love if you’re willing to do so.
Fit is just horrible on proportions. Hips are oversized and bust needs to nonexistent. I’m only a 32 small B and it wants even a comfortable coverage. The hips are gigantic and w the pleats you’d need the whole side and back altered, then the front taken in separately or it would never lay flat bc it’s double lined.
