I loved wearing this dress for a spring wedding shower. The drawstring waistband gave it shape. And pockets!! As others have said, the sleeve openings fall at an odd spot for my body type (right above the elbow) and were a little tight, but this dress still gets 5 stars. 

This dress is bright and feels perfect for warm weather. The material is light and comfortable. Overall I believe it was flattering. Great for casual and a little dressy. I wore to work and going out. I’m 

So I’m a sucker for a shirtdress and this could be one of my favorites.

Casually chic and cool this dress is nothing but comfortable. There are beautiful details like the  tuxedo pleats down the front. The gentle tie-waist compliments a figure. The light-puff sleeves have a button detail at the cuff. The material is both whisper-soft and slightly crisp and completely breathable which makes it perfect for summer. Even the print is beautiful, featuring hibiscus, parrots and butterflies - the dress looks and feels like summer. 

I wore to the office, to the pool, to run errands and even a barbecue. It was a hit everywhere and I was comfortable. The pockets are deep and well placed.

This dress will work on a variety of complexions and body types. Fit it true to size. You could order-up for a slightly oversized look you tame by pulling in on the waist. 

So lovely and luxe to wear as a casual dress in a hot climate. Fabric is v breathable, lined which is great. Drawstring for definition. Really loved it!

I loved this dress so much I bought it.  The fabric is very light, thin cotton.  The drawstring is just under the ribs and allows you to tighten and shift the fabric to the side or back.  It’s one’s and has pockets. So comfortable.  The colors are great.  I received many compliments.  

Love this dress. Beautiful print and color. Perfect length. The dress is lined. I’m normally between a large and XL, so got the XL. It’s a little big but I have a larger chest and the tie around the waist cinches in which looks great. Also has pockets!!

Wore this to a party and a shower I got lots of compliments. Felt very comfortable on. It was a bit wrinkly. 

Wore this to a BBQ and also work! It is truly awesome and fun - light fabric but lines so not see through 

The only complaint about this dress is that you have to leave the sleeves unbuttoned or they are way too tight. It works fine to leave them unbuttoned and the dress is very comfortable and super cute. I got lots of compliments. 

Loved this! Easy and breezy with a fun pattern for a tropical location. 

Such a great dress! I wore it for work while in Hawaii and it was perfect weight for the temps. Great fit and after a little ironing it was like new! 

Comfortable and fun to wear. Lots of compliments.

Lovely dress, I have worn it a few times, such a comfortable fit and fun pattern.  Fits perfectly with the drawstring waist.  

Easy to wear. Light fabric. Decided to wear a slip underneath just in case. 

Lots of compliments. Flattered my figure. I ordered the Large next time would rent the Medium. 

Looks a bit like a swim coverup.  Great dress.  I wore it to a work event at a resort and got compliments on it. I’d wear it again. 

I love almost everything this designer does!  The color combination - pinks, soft reds and pinky-reds - was pretty and I don’t see those colors together very often.  The print is tropical but still sophisticated.  It is a style (shirt dress with a drawstring) that should work for a lot of people. Although it has long sleeves, the fabric is so lightweight it was comfortable on a warm and humid late summer evening.  It is also lined and not see-through.  I’m 5’2”, and I tend to prefer my dresses right about knee length, and this worked really well for me. I wore my usual size in this brand (S); the cut is forgiving enough I probably could have worn a size smaller if the small wasn’t available but I was happy with S.  

Wore it to work and transitioned into the evening. Pattern not normally my style but fun to rent!

Well made. Perfect for heatwave weather. Light but lined. Versatile. Cheerful. 

Arms button at awkward length/elbow but can be adjusted or left unbuttoned.  

Very comfortable. Wore for a meeting and then to an evening function. Dress is light weight but made well. 

Wrote this to a team offsite. Good casual pattern and color. Good length. Lightweight summery fabric. Good chest coverage. Only complaint is that the front fabric puffed out a bit, making you look like you had a stomach. Good to cover up a bump you might not want to show though. 

Super lightweight & perfect for a hot day (though be warned, even though it’s lined, it’s still very sheer). The size recommended for me was either a L or XL but only XL was available. It was definitely too big, so I would suggest getting your normal size. The tie at the waist was super high on me (I have a long torso) so it felt a bit awkward because it was nowhere near my natural waist - it would probably work well for maternity though! The sleeves don’t have any elastic - they were not tight at all (thankfully!) but they fall right at the elbow so there’s a constant reminder there’s something around your arm with zero give. It has pockets! And would be cute for a pool or beach party or just staying cool without being too exposed to the sun. 

This dress is perfect for hot weather. It's light and breezy. It has pockets, yay! 

So cute! A bit sheer but so comfortable and soft! 

I wore this several times.  On vacay and before. It felt like a vacation dress and was perfect for Puerto Rico. 

Light fabric, easy to wear. Works with heels and flip flops 

I didn’t love this dress when it arrived but I got so many compliments on the colors and pattern. Very light weight with a drawstring waist which was great since the medium was too big on me and needed to be cinched in. 

Don’t size up on this dress and grab it is you won’t a comfortable dress to wear throughout the day. 

Not terrible but my husband said it gave me no shape - sort of baggy.

Wrinkles and thin material
Could age easily
Good for WFH or a lunch date. 
Hugh waisted
Tie at waist makes it work. 

The fabric was lightweight and the print was beautiful but it was too overwhelming on my petite frame. Maybe if I went down a size it could have looked better

Wore as a dress with sandals for a whimsical, beach vibe and also wore as a cover up .

Rented this for the second time for my trip to Florida- I think we're in a committed relationship now- Ha! 

I've rented it in both medium and large. I prefer the large as it's a bit more comfortable, but I was also able to make the medium work, but it was tighter around the bust area. Note the medium is shorter and I like the length of the large better. For a beach cover up that can go to lunch- it's just perfect! 
That being said it has a light liner and can absolutely be worn as a dress out also. Versatile! The color is bright and happy. It's one of those pieces you reach for constantly on vacation because it's just so easy. I may have to buy it!

I've rented this twice as a coverup for a tropical resort. Lightweight, easy to throw on. Very short for tall girls but perfect for what I needed it for. 

Wouldn't wear for anything more serious than a casual pool day or beach lunch. For this specific dress, couldn't get the waist tie undone so it was a little uncomfy on and off but still cute to wear 

Super comfortable for a bike ride on a warm day. Very pretty and flattering.
