Not ideal for hips
These fit — barely. Gals with hips, you might want to skip these. The fabric doesn't have quite enough give to be comfortable. Great print though.

Not great for the long torso-ed
Loved the print and cut, but I have a long torso and the part clearly meant to hit at my hips hit just above them, creating a weird bubble unless I stood perfectly still. Such a shame because it was otherwise a great item. Maybe shorter gals will have better luck!

Not bad but not ideal for us Talls
FOR NON-TALLS: it's super cute, well-made of breathable linen, and a great spring/summer go-to! FOR MY FELLOW TALLS (I am 6'0): this one is a close call but worth it if you can make it work. When I put the adjustable straps at their loosest possible settings, it juuuuuuuuust fit. No camel toe, no boobs flapping out! However, the very loose straps kept falling off and I had to keep pulling them back up, which got annoying. TALL TLDR; if you're 5'9-5'11, or you have a short torso, you can probably make this work with no issues. If you're 6' or up, or your height is in your torso, I'd skip it unless you're cool with constant strap adjustment. I wish it was just a tad longer, because I would have worn it everyday if so!

Casual show-stopper!
LOVED IT! It's not super stretchy, but for my hourglass shape it hugged in all the right places and the snappy buttons were super sexy. Fun print, too. I rented it for a friend's book launch party, but I was able to dress it down with a jean jacket for a casual event too.

Bright and sexy!
Loved the stretchy fabric, and the print is so fun! As someone with long legs, I was a little worried it would be too short, but it had plenty of coverage (hits about mid-thigh for me). I also didn't need to wear a bra with it, though a bigger-chested person might need to find a strapless bra.

Great everyday option
It's made out of linen, which makes it nice and breathable for the summer. Beautiful print. Only reason I dropped a star is that I don't have the curves to fully fill it out -- someone with a bigger bust/hips would be a total knockout in it!

Runs VERY small!
I'm normally an 8/M and I could not get this over my head. Disappointing as it's a beautiful dress.

Lovely color and fit, but straps annoying
The stretchier fabric made for a very comfortable fit. However, the off-shoulder straps were more than a little annoying. Keeping them up, especially while dancing, was a challenge even with a great strapless bra. Recommend on fit, but don't recommend for events where you'll be moving around a lot...

So many compliments! (also: POCKETS)
Loved loved loved this dress! As a tall woman (6'0) I always worry about length when the Long sizes are not available, but the 10R hit about mid-calf for me. The pockets were a huge plus. I read the reviews on sizing up because of the chest fit and they're spot-on. The 10 was still a little big snug on my chest (I normally wear an 8), but the upshot was that I didn't have to adjust it much throughout the night.

Perfect for tall ladies!
Loved the cut and the colors. Wore this to an engagement party and I got so many compliments! The fabric is expensive-looking but stretchy, so it works on curves. And I loved that it was an appropriate length for a tall woman. Will definitely wear Clover Canyon again.

Lovely flow
The long sizes actually fit tall women! Hooray! I wore the 10 out of an abundance of length-caution, but in retrospect wish I had gone with the 8 because the 10 was pretty roomy in the bust. Still I got compliments all night and LOVED how it flowed as I walked!

Not for tall women with hips
I rented this for a wedding and was unable to wear it. I followed recommendations and ordered a size up (I'm usually an 8, plus I'm quite tall), and it barely fit over my hips and was too short. If you are shorter and don't have curves I'm sure it's lovely, but the fabric has zero give.
