Great dress, many compliments!
The sheer sleeves/neckline on this keep it from feeling dowdy. The ruffles, cuffs, zipper, and liner were all in good shape. The only thing I didn't like about this dress was that due to the seams along the ruffle at your triceps, you can't really raise/reach your arms fully without worrying about busting a seam. So it probably wouldn't be a great choice if you wanted to do a lot of dancing. You'll also need a strapless bra with it since the shoulders are sheer but there's no boning or structure that would make it easy to go bra-less.

Easy to dress up or down, be careful in the wind!
The adjustable straps mean you can fit the bodice to your preference, but if you have a bigger chest snapping the tiny snap to hold it together might be tricky! It does have two layers, but it is a wrap dress so you do need to pay attention so it's not blowing open in the wind/falling open when you sit down. The dress I got didn't have hanger-straps which made keeping it on the hanger a real challenge - not a deal breaker, just a little annoying since the backup size I ordered DID have hanger straps.

Many compliments on this light wrap dress for an event in the heat!
It runs a little small, I'm typically a M/8 and the small was definitely the better fit. I taped the under-layer at about the knee since otherwise there's a chance for it all to blow apart in the wind and expose way too much! I also used some fashion tape at the neckline a bit since it was too low-cut for me to comfortably chase after/pick up my toddler. Otherwise it was very comfortable, flattering, and didn't get too warm on a 90+ degree day!

Cute, comfortable dress!
I probably could have worn a size Small, but I always size up for my backup size. I had to pin the neck so it wasn't hanging down too much, and the armholes were still pretty large. The bottom portion of the dress doesn't have any shape, so I pinned it back a little as well. The fabric is incredibly light and didn't wrinkle at all, even in an outdoor setting on an 80 degree day after being worn in the car for a couple of hours on the way.

A little complicated...
It took me a few minutes to figure out how to get into this/tie it so it was at the appropriate level. I couldn't get it to look as nice as it does on the model, it didn't match up super well to my size/shape. A fun pattern though, and it's very light fabric. It did seem to be a little on the short side.

Bigger than they look!
These are very cute - but very large! They weren't too heavy, but I only wore them for a couple of hours. I didn't have any issues with the loop sliding to the wrong end.

Cute jumpsuit for June bridal shower
It was a hot day so the lightweight fabric was nice, but the fabric doesn't have a lot of give. It is definitely long, I had to wear 3" wedges for it to not drag on the ground, and I'm pretty tall! The adjustable straps helped it hit at just the right point.

Lots of compliments on the beautiful fabric and unique neckline.
This dress is beautiful in person, photographs don't capture it well. It is long, I'm 5'8" and needed to have heels on so it wasn't dragging on the floor. It's lined nicely so there are no issues with it being see-through -- but it can get a little static-clingy so have some lotion ready!
