Lovely, had to buy
This dress reminded me of one I owned years ago and wore out. Comfortable, well made sundress, easy to slip on, can be dressed up or down. Was pleasantly surprised at how well made it is, and it's fully lined - always a plus.

Too cute, wish it didn't tie in the back
Dress fits beautifully, it's a lovely, cotton-esque, wrinkle-free fabric. Feel breezy yet secure, the skirt has good movement and there's pockets! Only downside is the tie at the back, it's a pain to do every time you put the dress on, and if not tied correctly, it created these weird folds just above the waist line. Also, as the knot lies right on your spine, can't really sit anywhere, unless it's on the edge of the seat. I bought it though, because it is so cute, because other than the tie it's perfect! I plan to ask a friend to sew the ties in place in a comfortable way and that will correct the issue.

I can wear yellow!
Lovely dress, wore it as a bridesmaid to a wedding with a 'garden party' dress code. So many compliments! And so comfortable. Major plus was the deep reds and pinks in the rose print allowed me to wear a bright yellow dress! I love yellow but generally can't wear it at all since it washes me out. One downside is wrinkles - it is a cotton blend - but the fabric is comfy and no bra required. This is a dress that could get away with pockets, so a bit of a letdown that there weren't any.

How the h*** is this a size 6??
I had such high hopes for this dress, which made the disappointment that much worse. I suppose I should feel fortunate as a woman that the other items ordered in my usual size (I'm a true size 6) all fit. Triple-checked it was labelled as a 6 cause the sizing is so off. As you can see in the photo, the waist fit fine, but there was no way it was going to zip past my rib-cage, where I have no extra flesh to speak of. The ties in front were no help, as I couldn't even get the zipper up that far. Ridiculous. Edit: talked to customer support and previous renter may have washed it - which would explain the weird sizing of fitting at the waist but not the rib cage, and it is definitely the kind of fabric that would shrink in the wash. Unconfirmed, but if so the particular dress sent to me has been flagged.

Obsessed! But size UP!!
So, suggested size according to the algorithms was a small, but after reading the reviews I decided to go with a large figuring I could always cinch it with the belt if they were too big. I shouldn't have worried, the waist on the large was just big enough, kinda tight tbh. They're just so fun I wanted to wear them everywhere, until I realized that in addition to the slightly too slightly too tight waist, there isn't quite enough length in the upper part of the shorts, so I felt like I had a constant wedgie. Knocked off one star for the poor fit and another star for the fact that they can't be worn by anyone bigger than a size 6. I mean, really? Come on!

Loved it!!
I want to wear this shirt everywhere, the print is crazy in a good way, the colors aren't what I was expecting and the shoulders are puffier than I was expecting. But ya know what? Don't care. Wasn't quite brave enough to rent the pants cause I knew I wouldn't weasr the set around town, but just the top looks dynamite with any solid color skirt, think I just found a new favorite look.

This dress will make you want to dance!
Negative first: there is absolutely no give in the waist. It fit everywhere else, so I think the 4 (I'm usually a 6) was the correct size, any larger and the straps would be hanging about my elbows and the chest would be way too large! Seems to be made for ladies exactly my size only with a smaller rib cage. Would be good on someone with an hourglass shape, I'm more straight. The skirt is fabulous! There's a nice panel in the back that gives the girls some extra breathing room, and you can definitely wear it without a bra. Planning to wear it out dancing, when you need good posture anyway. This isn't a dress for sitting or eating (so knocked off one star, cause Weird Al's right - girls want to have lunch).

Absolutely darling and so comfortable!
This dress could not be cuter~ I wasn't sure about the color (pastels are not my strong point), but it was a perfect fit and simply lovely. Well made, not prone to wrinkles, no need for a bra. There's nice movement to the skirt I wasn't expecting. Only drawback is the straps - they're elasticized on either side so they can be worn as cap sleeves, but it's an awkward position and they don't stay well - seem to want to ride like straps (in which case the elastic makes them poof up oddly) or fall down your shoulders. Highly recommend!
