But the faux leather panels and gold zipper cheapened the look for me. I bought a size 10 for my bust size, however while the shoulders fit and the waist fit, my bustline was squished like a pancake. If I would have sized up, it would have been huge everywhere but the bust. If you wear above a C cup, it's not a good fit as most designers make clothes for B cups.
Julie from The Mod Squad!
I was 3 - 8 years old when the tv show, 'The Mod Squad,' came out. Too young to understand the plot, I absolutely adored the actress who played Julie, Peggy Lipton, and wanted to be just like her when I grew up. Well, I've grown up, and past her age at the time, but in this dress, I can look and feel just like her! (Well, sort of. At least, in my imagination. LoL!) It's very 'Mod,' retro-60s. I adore it! I particularly like the big, gold, front zipper contrasted against the black background of the material. That creates the image. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars: As those who have read my previous reviews have noted, I'm the first to say I ride a motorcycle and go to the gym, so I have wide shoulders and large arms. The arms on this dress are a tad bit tight. Not restrictive but I know I'm slightly constrained. But this issue is slight and likely won't affect you - unless you have large upper arms like I do. If you ever wanted to grow up to feel or look like Julie (Peggy Lipton) from 'The Mod Squad,' this dress is for you!
