Runs large! I'm a 16, and usually wear an XXL or XL. This was huge on me. I would need to size down to a large.

I normally wear an XL but saw the other reviews and got a L. It’s still a bit big but comfortable. It’s giving toga, if that’s your vibe. The length is perfect. The only real issue for me is the v-neckline dips way too low. Paired with it not being very fitted, it’s a recipe for disaster. If you have bigger boobs, it might be okay. I’m a B cup and would flash everyone if I bent at all 😂

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this dress SO MUCH. As someone who has been pear shaped all her life and now has a menopause belly this dress is a DREAM. Yes, it does run huge. I normally wear a 2x (1x in A-Line Styles) but I went with the XL and XXL based on reviews. Oddly the XXL seems to fit smaller than the XL but this dress is so forgiving both work for me and I’m back to buy a 3rd because I NEVER want to be without this dress!!!!

5’8”, 170 lb, ordered a M and I think it was the right size. Pro: Pretty coral color. Con: Fabric was so lightweight and stiff that it pooched out in all the places it shouldn’t. Made me look hunchbacked, pregnant, and like my hip circumference just grew by 5 inches.

I should have read other reviews before purchasing. I am typically a 16 and ordered an XL. I could do a large, maybe a medium. I love the cut and coverage of the dress however it is oversized.

This reminded me of what Ariel wore on the beach after she got her legs. Way too big and tied with a rope. This dress is like 2 sizes too big and definitely see through. The v neck hits about 4 inches lower than the pictures. Not appropriate for work.

If you are purchasing online, be warn...the size chart is absolutely no help. I am about 190lbs with a rather large chest. I usually wear a XXL(17) or an XL (14/16) due to my big breasts. I started with an XL and it was huge. Then exchanged it for a L which was also too big. I've finally ordered a M which fits great. It seems that Target's clothes are becoming increasingly "generously" sized. Hey, but now I can say that I'm a size Medium (first time in my life). LOL

Dress is massive. Ordered the smallest size and it dwarfed me. Size way down if you order it and want something with some semblance of a shape.

Wanted to love this dress - in fact, Universal Threads is the only women clothing brand that is still tasteful and of a decent quality in Target, but - way too bulky, runs at least a size too large. Sadly, returning!

soziequeenarthur - 2 months ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the fit of this dress. I typically wear a size large and this fit true to size. There was some extra fabric around the front but the tie waist helps improve the shape. The fabric is lightweight and perfect for summertime. This dress has nice, deep pockets. The gauze material and style give an ancient Grecian vibe. The cotton blend is a rare find and feels like nice quality. I received an incentive to write this review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking to add a little color into my life this summer. I grabbed this in a size medium, which if I would’ve had the belt with it it probably would’ve fit much nicer. I think I could’ve sized down as it does run a little bit big. I am 5 foot four and about 165 pounds . The fabric is very comfortable and there are a variety of different colors available to choose from. I received an incentive to write this review.

It's tight around the arm holes and big everywhere else. The fabric is light and not see through. I'll be keeping it but glad I didn't go with a larger size.

No Thanks - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
It's not bad if a plain blue dress is what you're looking for- the color is beautiful and I like the casual dressiness that the shape and the fabric combine to embue. But the fabric is see-through, I could see through both layers of the front and back when holding it up to the light. You will absolutely need to wear a slip with this, which negates the nice cool fabric. The belt loops are incredibly cheap, just thick thread, and the rope belt does not slide smoothly. The dress needs the belt, it's shapeless without it

Solson - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
I loved the flow of the fabric but the armholes are too tight and the v-neck was deeper than it appeared. I managed to fix one of the dresses by cutting the arm hole and redoing the seam to fit better but I’m returning the other one because I don’t want to do it again.
