One of my favorite dresses to keep in my suitcase as a staple

This dress is casual while still being put together enough to throw on for a Sunday Funday at the movies or running errands. I debated between sizes and I'm glad I went with the smaller of the 2. The fit of this dress is loose even with the button down. I thought it might stretch across my belly but it's actually very flattering. The button placement has a slight ruching effect instead. I wore this on a very hot and humid summer day and I was really impressed by how cool it kept me. The fabric is breathable, soft and forgiving. I'm also pretty short and I love that this is a midi because the length is much more flattering than a maxi!

i got this for a bridal shower and it was perfect. so comfy, so casual, so flattering. there’s some gapping with the buttons up top, but that happens to me with most button ups so i just use a safety pin. i love this dress. i love that it has sleeves, i love that it’s long. it’s a good blend of modest and summery for me

Who decided to stop the buttons way too high?! I’m 5’9” and have to return this because it barely covers the important parts. Such a bummer because the dress is cute otherwise.

This dress is super flattering and comfy. The down side to it is that it runs large up top so there is some clevage. I’m a 36 C, 5’8 and 155ish. I bought a M. Maybe a small would fit better. Either way it’s a cute dress that I’d buy again.

First of all, I never write reviews. I bought this dress today and have been wearing it for 12 hours! It is cute and SO comfortable! I bought it in black and am going to buy the other two colors asap! This dress is also incredibly flattering and my boyfriend loves it!

I wanted to like this dress but it was too stretchy to the point where it felt like it was going to fall off the shoulders on me. Also, the one I got the neckline didn’t matchup and you could tell because it stuck up on the top. Unfortunately I’ll be returning

My favorite dress for the summer! Soft fabric, nice quality perfect for my shape. I’m 5.4 ft tall and about 175 lbs, bought size large, it gives me a nice flowing feminine look. I accidentally ruined the first one, like it so much that I’m buying another one.

Very feminine and flattering dress! IMO runs a little big since it’s stretchy. Would not recommend it for hot summer weather. It’s pretty thick cotton. Will be great for early Autumn.

This dress is so cute and flattering on. Just be prepared to wear a tank or cami underneath if you have large bust. I’m 36DD and while the small fit my body loosely, the buttons came open several times. Maybe the buttons are poorly constructed. I’m starting to feel like anything that buttons up just isn’t for me 😢

Love the material! The dress looks very high end in my opinion and classy. It skims your curves and the length is just right on me (5'3") to where it is a perfect midi length. Going to buy it in every color and wear it all year with different sweaters and cardigans. Easy to dress up or down!

Flattering fit! Nice and light fabric. My normal size felt a bit big so I went down a size it was perfect. The only thing I WISH it had was pockets. If it had pockets the dress would have been perfect!
