Almost Perfect

MECarte - today, Verified purchaser
This dress is almost perfect. Very flattering and a nice fabric. Based on other reviews stating that it runs large, I tried both the small and the medium. I’m 5’4” and 135lbs. If not for my having a large bust (41”) the small would have fit perfectly. The medium fit better. It’s a great length, not too short. It skims nicely over the bust and still disguises my tummy. It has pockets. Overall very flattering. The only thing that doesn’t work for me is that the pockets flare out, adding too much width at the hip. If not for this, I would have loved this dress. I wanted to write this review to encourage others to try this dress, as it’s very cute and might work for someone else.

I like the style of the dress and that it's not polyester, so it wont be too hot. Its just a tad too short, and I'm 5'3". I need to wear shorts under it.

Love this dress! I ordered the blue. I’m 5’1 and ordered a small because I was worried the chest area would be too small in an xs and it fits me well. It’s a bit loose but I prefer it that way otherwise the buttons would pop open when you sit down. I get lots of compliments on it. It hits about mid thigh on me. Material is soft!

Alby - 1 day ago, Verified purchaser
Super cute dress and I loved the weight! Very modest cut, but the white is so see through! You can see all the lines behind the pleats and the pockets, and you would have to wear nude underwear. I thought it would be better since it was thick but it was still see through. Returning and trying the blue next, hope that one isn’t see through too.

gigi005 - 1 day ago, Verified purchaser
Cute dress but just not flattering for bigger hip girls. For reference - size 12 jeans, wear large tops, big hips, smaller waist. Tried a large and was far too loose, tried a medium and fit well but not flattering.

Cute dress but the white is NOT lined. You can see right through it. Why??!! So much potential but fell flat for me.

I really like this dress and it’s fit. The white color was see through so I opted for blue. The length and fit are perfect. I feel it is true to size, maybe a bit large? I typically wear a Large in most clothing items and that is what I purchased. I did not want the dress to be a tight fit and feel the size Large gives me plenty of room for it to be a loose fit.

jne4 - 2 days ago, Verified purchaser
Unlike some of the other reviews, I found this dress runs small. I’m usually an XS or S in other Target dresses, but both were too small in the waist for me. Also, I didn’t realize the paisley print was made up tiny stars - unfortunately decided not to keep this dress.

Not quite sure on this one. Considering sizing down and see if that changes my mind? I like that its not super tight… but looks a little off. Super flowy and fun, though! The shaping comes up high on the boobs and feel like that adds to the confusion of the look.

R Johnson - 6 days ago, Verified purchaser
The dress is super cute. I really like the way it showed off my curves. I have smaller hips, so I like dresses that add volume there to balance with my top half. The top button gaped a little, but that’s pretty common for me. I fixed it with fashion tape. Has pockets. Super light and perfect for warm days

Nice material and quality, but not flattering…not for busty girls and the waistline is weird and loose. I ordered a size S, but could have downsized, but then my boobs would really not fit. No definition, not sexy.

Immediately yes. Loves it so much I bought 2 other colors. So feminine and classy. Also the material is so high quality. Not cheap at all. The only reason I’m docking off a star is because of the sizing. I feel a medium would be a better fit except for the chest area. I had to purchase a large which makes everything larger. It’s a huge size difference from a medium to a large.

Small was too small and the medium through the entire fit off. It's got great quality clothing and great style if you're the body shape for the particular dress.

It’s stars, I wouldn’t consider it paisley at all. Cut is slightly funny and adds volume in the lower half that isn’t flattering.

Super cute and light weight dress! It runs kind of large, I ordered an XS (5’2” and 115lb) and i still have a lot of room. Going to try shrinking it but overall i really like the fit.
