Too big

Way too big. I ordered my normal size and wished I had not removed the tag. It is not as attractive as I hoped it would be.

Great fit and weekend perfect

Wore this to work for casual Friday. It was cute and comfortable. Wore a tank under because of the deep v. I initially sized up but it was too big.

Not a Bad Dress...

Never been a fan of drop-waist dresses, but I love denim; I sized down to a small from a medium, and found that the grey dress was a good fit, although the blue and white where a little snug. It wasn't until after purchasing the denim 'beach' shorts (I sized down in those as well), that I realized these dresses and those shorts had very similar material, and then decided a 'beach' top would be perfect with the shorts. My sewing skill is middle school home-ec. The jury is still out on whether I'll alter the grey dress.

Inconsistent Sizing!! Try before you buy.

So disappointed! I saw a friend wearing this and it was adorable! She is a curvier size, like myself, so I was excited to find something so cute that worked for more than stick thin women. I immediately ordered one for an upcoming girl's weekend. I ordered the blue to be different from my friend. It fit perfectly and was very flattering and comfortable. However, after I got it, I realized I already had a blue denim dress. So, I ordered the white one for pick up and went to the store and exchanged them right before my trip. In my rush, I made the mistake of just taking the tags off and packing the outfit. On the night we were going out I put it on and was horrified! It did not fit the same at all! The skirt was much, shorter, and I would not have been able to sit. The placket - opening of the top - was so long that it went was below my bra! The bottom half was tighter, and the top half was looser. What the heck?! It was almost like two sizes were sewn together. I was so mad. Luckily, I had an extra outfit built it isnt what I wanted to wear that night. I was so disappointed. To top it off I threw away the tags so I can't return it. I wish I had kept the blue one. :( Why can't sizing be consistent?

Nice denim, oversized, cute denim dress

Nice thick denim material, oversized fit. It could risk being a little un-proportional for some, but with the tie waist i was able to cinch it in and make the silhouette be more fitted. I’m 5’9 and when cinched it’s a bit short but overall cute good quality and would recommend!

Cute!

I love this dress! It's so cute and I brought all 3 colors. It does run big. I'm usually a size medium to small. I brought a small and they fit perfectly. Even my husband loves this dress. He could stop putting his hand in my back pocket😁. I highly recommend this dress!

Comfy and durable

This is tall girl friendly. You can size down at least TWO sizes. There’s no buttons or side zip. This is very heavy however I love it so I’ll return for a smaller size

Wanted to love

Wanted to love this dress so bad but it just didn't execute well. I sized down and it was too roomy up top but the bottom portion fit fit and length was fine, as long as I kept my arms down. If I were to raise my arms or move around too much the dress would life up entirely - not what I want to happen! The drop waist sat awkwardly which was unfortunate too. Cute idea, just didn't execute well. I'll be returning.

Nope.

Not the cutest. I was influenced by Insta and this did not look as cute on me. I sized up and definitely was not a good call.

Not worth the money unless you're tall

Unless you're tall and skinny, this dress isn't flattering at all. In theory the drop waist is cute and trendy but doesn't provide any shape.

Worth Every Penny!!!

Despite the iffy reviews, decided to give this dress a chance. So happy I did! I’m 5’4, 100 lbs., got the XS. Perfect. Nice weight on the denim - not heavy and stiff. Well done Target!!!
