Runs a little big. I’m a true 10-12 and the XL was too big on me. Large fit great! Loved the look. Can wear it to work or out for the day. I want all the colors!!

This dress is great quality and fits well, true to size. However, the bottom slit is too high for the length of the dress. It looks awkward.

I love this dress!! It's a thicker fabric so it doesn't feel cheap, and all of the buttons are functional which is such a really nice touch. There is a slit in the center front of the skirt, which I didn't love. I ended up just sewing the slit closed, so that the buttons end mid thigh and then it transitions into a normal seam down the front. In all it took me about 20 minutes. I sized down (I'm normally a small but bought an extra small) and it fits perfectly

So I'm normally a Large/XL but can confidently do a medium in this dress. I had to return mine to get the right size. But let me tell you, it's a beautiful piece! It doesn't feel cheap, and paired with accessories you can really do a lot with it. You can dress down or dress it up which I love. I bought the beige color and it's beautiful! It is slightly see through despite being thicker. Panty lines and bra straps are visible in the beige. All the same, once I got the right size I felt it was a great find. Im a brunette with hazel eyes and the dress is doing so many favors for my natural color tones. I'm in Florida so it's too hot for thicker dresses but as we phase out of summer my sundresses don't feel "fall" enough to wear. I am circling back to buy this in another color. I hope Target releases more shades or a fall floral print. I'm 5'9 and felt it was long enough. If the wind is a concern or you're sitting a lot, simple bike shorts may work. I would buy this again in a heartbeat, and thank you Target for easy return options.

Cute dress to wear as I’m 9months pregnant, went with XL which is my normal size and it’s still kinda big. I feel like once I deliver the dress will be a bit big. I hope it shrinks a lil in the dryer but other than that it’s super cute reminds me of the old school 90s dresses. I would size down :)

This is super comfy, stretchy, ribbed material. It’s perfect for everyday and the classroom. My only gripe is the neckline shows my tshirt bra. I will probably be adjusting it a lot. I also had to size down.

One of those dresses that is cute, but I have no clue where I’d wear it. It’s quite long (I’m 5’4) and there is a lot of material toward the bottom. It’s like a cuter mumu lol.

LauraJean - 13 days ago, Verified purchaser
This dress is perfect for me. Made well and really hugs your best assets! Even on petite frame, this dress compliments. The length is not too long and because the buttons are functional, I can open a button or two to show a bit more leg. I went and bought all three colors. More colors would be great; plum, navy, brown! Runs slightly large so I downsized.

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.
