Possibly mislabeled because it was huge

Zabby - today, Verified purchaser
The bright red color and the quality of the fabric was excellent for the price. But even before I tried it on, I could tell it was going to be enormous on me! Sure enough, my torso swam inside the bodice no matter how tightly I tied the straps around my neck. It was so big, I have to believe that the dress I received was mislabeled, because Universal Thread size M usually fits me to a T. But if this was indeed a true medium, I'd go two sizes down to an XS. Not sure it'll be worth the effort.

ordered a medium, im 5.11" and 165lbs, cup size 36B. Dress fits quite snugly around the waist, the cups are quite generous but if you pull the strings enough it fits great

Such a nice dress for the price point! I’ve been buying more cotton dresses & this one is sooo cute, fits so well, and had that nice cottony feel. I do have a larger chest(C/D) so either have to tie the tie tighter or lift up the dress in the back to keep it secure but at $35 for a fully cotton dress you can’t beat it. I got my true to size medium & im definitely happy with it, would not recommend sizing up due to the chest area

I bought this dress in red and the color is so bright and beautiful! The silhouette is stunning on any body type. I gave this 4 stars because I feel like there is just a little too much fabric on the back where the rouching is, so it rolls a bit instead of laying flat. But that doesn't bother me much, this is a dress I'll be wearing all summer!

It doesn't matter how tight you adjust the straps the breast area drops on the sides. Im a 38c and filled the cups correctly, not sure what happened there. The material is thick, i can see getting over heated during the texas summer. It will be returned.

Nicki - 7 days ago, Verified purchaser
Disappointed that the white paisley was not only see thin but also very see through! I also got a medium, my normal dress size since I wear an 8/10, and it was pretty loose. The boob part jutted out in a weird way. It’s a no-go for me. Returned!

Love the color and this dress. I ordered a small, but probably should have ordered an extra small due to the top being big. I wear a 34 C in bra. Great summer dress!

Yoly - 7 days ago, Verified purchaser
I love this red dress! It is flattering for big chested women. The only downside is that this runs big, and now that this dress is sold out, I am stuck with a large. I am 5’6, 180 lbs and 40DD bust and the dress fits at my ankles. A must buy if you size down!

White is super see through… and if you have a large chest this style will not work, no structure and there is not enough fabric in that area.

Twinmama - 10 days ago, Verified purchaser
I like the *idea* of this dress as a fun light summer dress but it is 100% see through… zero secrets. It defeats the point of a nice summer dress when I have to wear 10 layers underneath it make sure no one sees things they shouldn’t in public.

Runs Very Large

Justoneofamillion - 11 days ago, Verified purchaser
So much potential, beautiful color. But has loose threads and runs very large, this line does not tend to be inclusive for petite sizes. Had to return.
