  • A: Hello Guerita_Rdgz Tiktok - Thank you for your interest in this Women's Short Sleeve Button-Front Mini A-Line Dress from Universal Thread. A 55% Linen and 45% Rayon material blend will have a slight amount of stretch, primarily from the rayon component.

Haley K - 2 days ago, Verified purchaser
This dress is super cute and fits well, however, if you aren't wearing anything under the dress, you may be in danger when you sit down! The buttons gape open and people can see your undergarments. Truly wish this dress used the buttons as accessories instead of a way of securing the dress in place or else I would've kept it!

This is the worst dress I've bought from Target. The material is HORRIBLE. It is stiff and scratchy. Cheap isn't a strong enough word to describe it. I'm really wondering how this made it into Target stores.

T1SuperFan - 7 days ago, Verified purchaser
I really wanted this dress. It just fits so poorly. The XXL was too big and hangs poorly. The XL makes you look like you’re busting out. I ended up stitching it up at home and it looks much better. But I wouldn’t buy it again.

Hard pass. If you have narrow shoulders and are either pear shaped or an hourglass, this might look cute on you but it did NOT on me (broader shoulders with skinny legs). It visually flattened my chest (that may be a good thing for you but I need all of my 36B) AND widened my waist, so I looked like I had gained about 30 pounds when I put it on. It’s actually well made but just poorly designed and the fabric is thick and uncomfortable. If the sleeves were a few inches longer and it wasn’t such a scratchy thick material, it could be cute, but as is, this is going back.

I tried the red print dress and it was all wrong! Material felt cheap and too heavy for summer. Buttons gapped. Overall, it was very unflattering on my curvy figure in medium.

Tallmama - 11 days ago, Verified purchaser
It’s so cute but way too short for me. I am 5’11” and about 240lbs and ordered an XL which is what I typically wear. It fit perfect on top, there was some gaping issues at the waist and it was comfortable but again, too short.

Robyn - 16 days ago
The fit was fabulous. It does run big. I’m 5’1” 114 lbs and grabbed an XS. The only reason I didn’t buy it was the fabric. It isn’t summer weight and it’s kinda scratchy.

This dress is so cute!! It’s honestly well made and a beautiful linen fabric. I’m 5’3” and it’s the perfect length. It’s great for summer. I’ve gotten so many compliments for it! Only downside is the white is pretty see-through, so you’ll have to have something underneath it most likely.

Cute and flattering, but way too low cut for me so I had to return it. Also, not really fan of the material. It is kind of thick for the summer, but I would have made it work had it not been so low cut. I'm 5'5 and about 135lb for reference

Absoltuely love this dress! I am 5'2", 128 lbs. and the x-small falls right above my knees. It is not as short as it shows on the model. The linen is not scratchy - it is very soft. Perfect casual summer dress!
