This is seriously such a perfect dress. The fabric was super flowy without being heavy, and very flattering. I got so many compliments for it. I was worried it would be too warm for an outdoor wedding, but it was comfortable in the 80s with humidity. This dress does run large, especially up top. I sized down and still needed a pin to keep everything safely in place.

This dress was very pretty and the material was soft and flowy. I really wanted to love it, but there were a few important things that made it hard to like. First, in case you're like me and don't read details, this dress buttons down all the way down the back. It was hard to manage by myself, but more importantly, the buttons did not stay buttoned throughout the day! The first time I noticed (someone was kind enough to point it out!), I thought it was a fluke, or that maybe I had missed a few buttons when I put it on, but I noticed a few more come undone pretty quickly after that. Thankfully I had thrown my garment tape in my bag, and I ended up putting a piece between each button. I didn't have any issues with it after that. I might have understood the issue if the dress were too tight or if I was being super active, but neither was the case- the issue buttons were on the flowy skirt part and all we did all day was stroll. The other issue was the overall fit. I ordered a medium with a large for back-up (I normally wear size 10/12). The medium fit in the bust well, but two buttons would have been tighter than I was comfortable with where the waist hit. If it had been a zipper, I would have gone with the medium, but I didn't want to strain buttons. I had a little extra room in the waist with the large, but not enough to be an issue. The bust on the large however, was enormous. I don't usually have issues filling out the top of a dress so this came a surprise. I tried to use garment tape to take the back in a little bit, but there was a lot of extra fabric to work with. I did end up wearing a jean jacket over the top because of the weather, so it wasn't a huge issue, but I would have been uncomfortable wearing it without it. Overall, the dress was cute and if it had fit well, I really would have loved it!
