Much cuter than in photos!

Works well for petites, thanks to the buttons at the front which allow you to create a slit :)

Lovely dress

This was a very lovely dress. I love Draper James. I'm not sure if the top was stretched out, or if it just runs big. I even had on a great bra, but it felt very open on top. Otherwise the dress was extremely comfortable. I almost bought this dress last summer from the DJ store. I'm glad I got to rent it instead.

Love this!!

I'm a medium waist but a large chest, so I usually get my dresses in large. I got this one in a medium and it fit great, so I'm guessing it runs a tad large. Comfortable, light, soft fabric. Drawstring waist. And pockets!! I'm considering keeping it. Note that the dress is a tad see through - I wore a tank and bicycle shorts underneath for work.

Lovely :)

Lovely is the perfect word to describe this dress. I wore it to a neighborhood get together, and then to work the next day, with a stop at the botanic gardens on the way home (pictured). It worked for everything. The colors are buttercup yellow, with white, coral, and dusty lavender flowers, with brown stems and flower accents. Adorable, but definitely needs a slip. This would be fun to have in my closet, but I don't like to iron, so back it goes to exchange for the next wonderful rental!

Perfect casual summer dress

Loved this dress! It was so light and comfortable - perfect for hot summer days. The midi length was fun and different and the bright yellow made me smile every time I put it on. Would definitely consider buying this one!

Light weight and airy

This dress is lightweight without being see through. The drawstring at the waist is accommodating and allows you to cinch your waist and provide shape as you're comfortable. Nice V neck that wasn't too low for my large chest -- dress pulled a tiny bit between the 2nd and 3rd buttons but it was easily fixed with a safety pin.

Causally cute!

While it's not the most flattering fit, it is a comfortable, everyday, good for work dress. The color & print is pretty. I received soo many compliments on it. The tie at the waist will cinch the dress to give it some shape, but it just doesn't photograph that cute. I felt a lot cuter in it. Good for casual work/errands, huge pass for a date night or happy hour.

Love this dress!!

I have it for the unlimited and have a hard time returning. It did have a flaw in the stitching along the center tie- it undone and missing but still wearable. I may purchase - it's an easy fix but I do sew. This is a great dress to wear throughout spring/summer.

Lightweight + Pockets!

Very light for a hot summer day. Had to use two small safety pins for the gaping above the tie-waist but also could be remedied by wearing a tank underneath. The fabric is not quite see through but you should wear neutral undergarments anyway to be safe as it is quite light/thin. pockets are always a plus. Wore to work (as evidenced by my joyful breakroom pic) and it was totally appropriate. Only criticism is the gaping buttons and the armholes which are kind of snug but not uncomfy.

Runs Big

I got this as a back up for my Easter dress. I ended up wearing this to work the next day. I did not wear it on Easter because it was a little big in the chest and made me look grumpy. I'm only 5'3" so it was much longer on me than it was on the model and the photo. This dress was super comfy though and I did love the color. I'd like to try this o excavating but maybe in a size smaller.

I loved it so much I bought it!

Definitely runs big, but the waist can be cinched in. Amazing for hourglass figures, it's the perfect spring/summer dress for when you want to feel like the woman you aspire to be who only buys her groceries locally and has sunflower paintings all over her house.

Casual, unlined but cute

This is just one cotton layer, so be aware of that! It was perfect for sitting outside on a 100 degree day, and with a nude bra and underwear it didn't show through. The waist tie makes all the difference!

Color was gorgeous! But the dress was pretty shapeless and very thin. I needed a slip.

Great dress for work.

Gorgeous dress. The top was a little big but I was able to tie the waist a little tighter to help with that. I could've gotten away with ordering a smaller size for a better fit.

Fun and flowy!

I usually don't wear yellow (I'm extremely pale and it's not my color) but the little pink flowers throughout the dress made it work with my complexion. The dress itself is shapeless besides the belt but it's just what I wanted to wear to a family get together where I ate way too much! This runs a tad bit big on me and I'm a consistent medium (usually a size 8 or 29 for reference). I couldn't have sized down due to the sleeves. I don't think this bust would work for anyone over a C or D cup but it's perfect for my B cup.

This is a pretty cute dress but other Draper James dresses are definitely more flattering. It runs really big and long if you're short so definitely size down. Comfortable and easy for vacation.

Overall too big and too long. Looked frumpy on me.

Dress ended up coming down to my ankles, not mid-calf. Too big in the chest as well. Material quality was fine. Did not wear.

So cute but...

Loved everything about this dress but it's see through. You'd really have to wear skin colored shape wear to make it work. All underwear were seen. I'm very tan so maybe that doesn't help but I was bummed! Had to return.
