Cute but too short
I'm petite and felt like I was bending down and everyone could see my butt. The bottom layer feels a little too flouncy and not secure. Otherwise cute dress no other complaints.

Pretty flower pattern
This dress is really cute. I like that. The ruching is on the stomach area still felt comfortable, even though I don't usually accentuate that area. A little bit long for a petite but figured it's just a maxi dress.

Good not great
This is a cute dress. I would say it's a little bit low cut in the front. I was wearing a nursing bra and it definitely showed right above the top button. You also really need to tie this tight for it not to look too baggy. Wore this to a holiday dinner and it worked out. Nothing to write home about.

Loved
Definitely agree with other reviews you must get size XS-M otherwise it would be huge. Totally worked well with the tie. I liked wearing this

Lots of compliments
Fun dress. Love the color. Wore this for work. Only thing I'd say it's a little hard to take on and off and is slightly small in that sense in the shoulders. But wearing it was totally fine and easy for work. Wish it was a little shorter, it got stuck in my desk wheels all day lol

Cute but ok fabric
Dress fits well but isn't as nice quality as a hill house dress with full ruching. You really have to tie the string tight for this one. I didn't even realize there was a size zipper that's the looseness of the dress. So it's good but not great.

Easy dress
Sharing the pic of the other color of this dress. Super easy for summer. I did find the fabric was starchy and got uncomfortable when it was hot but it is very breezy & lightweight.

The best!!
I loved wearing this. The long ruching is extremely flattering. No bra needed. Perfect for breastfeeding or pumping. One star lower since the fabric is meh. Really good for like 65-70 degree weather. More than that I was too hot, cooler than that I was too cold since it's pretty flimsy. Really considered buying but didn't bc of the fabric. Sad I have no photographic evidence of this dress!

Way too big
I read the reviews and saw comparable pics for a size 12. I was swimming in the dress. Had to return. Maybe a 10 would have fit but it wasn't available.

Weird fit
This is not meant for curvy girls. I got the 10 my true size and it was too big. Then I ordered an 8 and it was fine but squished my boobs and accentuated my stomach. Wouldn't recommend even with such a fun print

Good wedding dress
Wore this to an outdoor wedding in the redwoods where it was like 60 degrees outside. Fits really well. I'm more of a size 10, 39ish inch hips, and this size was perfect. The only flaw was that I was super bloated from eating and you can see that in the hug of the dress. I didn't even need to wear a bra. It's super flattering and relatively comfortable. Fabric isn't perfect / isn't that soft but does well for an event.

Not good for big boobs
This dress is so fun but such a bad fit. The straps are flimsy and don't feel supportive. The cutout shows my entire boob. Couldn't wear it which was a huge disappointment.

Didn't wear
The straps are so thin and flimsy for someone with big boobs. My chest was like floating under the dress bra-free. Def need a strapless bra or something. Didn't end up wearing

Baggy
I wanted to love this dress. It's basically a big bag with some shaping with the ties at the top. I don't even think I could've went smaller given how the top fit. Wore bra free which was fine with the ties. I would also say the fabric wasn't very soft and was thrilled to rip it off me when I got home at the end of the night. Didn't flatter me postpartum (def looked heavier) but was easy for breastfeeding.

Pretty dress
Dress is beautiful and has texture, details, etc. I wore this without a bra and I definitely felt some of the weight of the shoulders, which was not ideal. The bow also doesn't stay perfectly tied, had to double knot. I liked wearing it for a night but wouldn't write home about it

Fits great!
I'm 12 weeks postpartum and breastfeeding - this dress was perfect! I'm a size 12 and wearing XL wirefree bras (no clue actual boob size). This dress fit so nicely. I didn't wear a bra and it worked really well. Def a summer dress, it's lightweight. So cute, bright, and beautiful!
