Was hesitant to buy but glad I did! 5’8, 135 lbs, medium. So cute, fits right. Material at the top of the skirt is a little thin but overall pleased with the quality.

I love the fit of this suit! I only wish it didn’t have permanently attached padding in the bra. Otherwise, it’s the perfect summer suit!

I absolutely love this swimsuit , I got sooo many compliments - more than I’ve ever received from a swimsuit before. I paired it with a pearl necklace and a black sun hat and it was the cutest “retro” look ever ! I definitely recommend it !!

I bought this dress to go with my great grandmother's hat, and it matches perfectly. The fit is amazing. True to size, so comfortable.And very high quality. I would highly recommend it.

Absolutely love this dress! The fact that it’s cotton, Greta material, fits very well and felt airy at the same time.

Loved this outfit. Perfectly on theme for the nautical sailor themed birthday party I attended. My husband & I were the talk of the party. I’m 5’10” & wear either size 6 or 8. I ordered a large (size 8) according to size chart. Fit like a glove.

Absolutely love this hat..reminds me of my mother's hats from long ago. Double clips, lots of details, quality structure. If you need more, you could always add, but I wouldn't. This is a classy and timeless piece for a wardrobe collection.

The high waist bottom covers me in all the right place (tummy) and still allows me to get lots of color on my back. Plus I love the sexy side ties. Also the top fits well and I like that the cups are sewn in so they don’t come out in the wash. After I recent vacation I forgot the bottoms in the rental car and immediately purchased it again to replace it. My boyfriend loved the sexy combo too! So yeah I love it so much I bought it twice. I’m 135 lbs and went with the medium the first time and large the second time because I’m shaped like a pear.

I love this dress! It fits wonderfully, and is true to size. It did come a little wrinkled, bit it's nothing that can't be fixed. Couldn't help but dress up as if I was in the 1950s.

I get a new dress from Retro-Stage for the annual The Ball of the Badges. This one is my favorite thus far. I just love the way it accentuates curves!

Daughters did a photo shoot for their dad's birthday. The main focus is the recreation of the twins, from the shining , going to be a big hit. Dresses are nice. Made well and looked good on film and in person. Lots of stretch could of sized down Both are wearing a size medium

I love this fit!! Colors are so cutesy 😍 (I know the top is upside down on me, it was more flattering to wear it that way because flat chested 😋)

Beautiful dress. Fit was great but a little long. I'm 5'6 and it dusted the ground with a 3 inch heel. Very flattering.

Luv that this is one piece other than the apron. It’s lightweight and perfect! Beautiful! Great price. I’m a 4/5 size normally so a large is a bit big but it’ll work because it’s so cute. Thank you!

This is my second suit from Carnvell Wear. I'm in my perimenopause stage of life and my body has gotten a little "soft" but I feel confident and comfortable in my suits from Carnvell Wear.

I feel so lucky to have come across your store. I absolutely Love this bathing suit. It is incredibly well made and fits perfect. I am 73 5’5 and 105 lbs I got medium and it’s perfect. I went to a swim party the other day and everyone was like where did you get that retro bathing suit and I shared with them. So adorable Love my new retro bathing suit. Thank you

The bottoms fit well, but the top is not quite large enough for my double D bust, I’m still going to wear it as I really don’t care if they pop out a little bit, but the issue here is that you cannot change the size of both the top and bottom separately you have to only order one size which is a bit aggravating.

Real corset that you tie up the back. Fit like a glove. Felt like a garden princess. Almost everyone complimented it. Color green was perfect.

An absolute show stopper of a dress! Bought in 2020 and still holds up now in 2026.
Tina F. 5/5
This swimsuit was absolutely perfect! I love the retro Florida look, and the vibrant color was exactly what we needed for our synchronized swimming show. The medium size fit all the girls perfectly. Shipping took about two weeks, and the company was incredibly helpful with tracking, it was so easy to connect with them directly on WhatsApp. We will definitely be buying from them again!

For some reason, this belt is much shorter than the belts I received on my other two dresses, it just barely buckles. Is there a way that I can get just the belt in a longer size?

Not bad ! The other bottoms aren’t attached to the bathing suit skirt. I like how the skirt isn’t too short and still covers your behind. You can adjust it too. Overall it’s pretty cute. I got a small and the bottoms (not the skirt) fits a liiiiitttllle too tight but it’s ok lol I think I might just wear spandex shorts underneath instead just because I like to be covered up!

Haven’t wore it in water yet, but one of my problems is that there is no adjustments on the strap! There’s only a clasp, I have a small cup (34 B ) and the cup in the swim suit is clearly for a bigger cup size. That’s fine, except there’s no adjustments , you either have to tie it up manually which is hard since the straps aren’t meant for that. It ends up being too tight on the neck leaving a mark, or you’ll have to get a backless strapless bra that fills the cup itself. Also has loose treads , some I didn’t show in the pics it’s really cute overall , just wish there was more effort for making it accessible for others </3

I love this! The quality is much better than what I expected, and the sizing is perfect. The vest can also unclip, and it has some really cool buttons. The neck tie comes separately, so you can take it off if you wish to, which is a good stylised choice. As my first purchase on this website, I will absolutely be buying more!

This is my favorite Carnvell Wear dress! It’s cute, comfortable, and fits like a glove! I wore it to a career fair and got some compliments!
Alison D. 5/5
I am so disappointed just by this one small thing. The flowers are not yellow. They are definitely peach. Everything else is perfect. The cut and size were exactly as described and shown. It is incredibly flattering. I am 5 foot one and weigh 165 pounds, and I ordered the XXL. It fits like a dream. My only problem is that I love yellow and I don’t love peach. So I am debating a return, sadly.
