Bad supplies - 3 days ago
From first glance, I really did like the dress. I thought it looks so pretty and flowy. I wanted to get something for church and thought this would be perfect so I did the target pickup. HOWEVER it is so see-through you can see my jeans shorts underneath. It’s preferably like a swimsuit dress cover or at least make sure you have a dress slip underneath.

Um it’s actually supposed to be $35 it’s clear as day on the tag they try to cover. It is not worth the $45 or the $36 with the *sale* it’s extremely thin. I would have kept it if it was coming up the OG price with the 20% off

Digital - 5 days ago, Verified purchaser
I came across this dress in store. It was actually a black version and not navy. But it was completely see through. I liked the shape but I would not be able to wear it as you can literally see underwear through the dress. However, I looked at the plum color and I was not so sure about it at first. I tried it on and it is a gorgeous dress once on. The cut is super flattering especially if you are on the chubby side. I usually wear a 1x but the XXL fits perfectly and yes it is very thin but the plum color is not see through. I would say the bottom of the dress lets the light pass but nothing terrible. I love so much that dress and the plum color is so perfect for the fall. I paired it with a jean jacket and it looks great! However, I agree this is totally overpriced and I don’t like that Target put a new price tag sticker on the top of the old one raising the price from $35 to $45. This unacceptable. The cashier at my Target was nice enough to match price and let me pay $35. If you are tempted by the cut, you should try the plum color.

The photo of the navy dress shows a lined dress. The dress is not lined and is completely see through. You cannot wear it without a full slip layered underneath. Returning.

missmeliss - 8 days ago
Went in store to check out. I’m normally a 1x but felt I could at least try on the xxl in store. It was tight in the chest, yes see-thru and paper thin but would I buy it if on sale? Yes. Cotton dresses are typically 2-3x the price and with a slip or bike shorts this wouldn’t be bad if I sized up to my correct size. The chest area was a little wonky. But again, it could be a cute layering piece with a cardigan. I run hot so I don’t mind the thin material. The back is see thru but the front bra area is not.

IR - 8 days ago, Verified purchaser
I understand why everyone is saying the dress is not worth $45- it really is super thin. BUT! I actually love that it’s so lightweight. A slip will solve the transparency issue. It’s a beautiful plum color/pattern. It has pockets. Simply overpriced.

Nice try Target, but try harder. As others have mentioned, the dress is made of thin, see-through material. Also, the v-neck is very low and awkward. Skip this one.
