Cute but careful if you have large breasts

Malyshka - 1 day ago
If you have bigger breasts definitely do not size down. I am 5’10”, 125 pounds (b-c cup) and a medium fits me just right in the top, loosely in the waist. A small fit me fine everywhere expect on top, where the buttons on top gape wide open. Still bought it because it is comfortable but wish they had made the top looser and the bottom/waist tighter.

I got the white one. It’s very cute in theory, however it’s so transparent they you can see the pockets completely through it. They are large and it looked really odd. You can also see the extra fabric under the seams through it. It’s not something a slip can help.

I purchased a medium. I love the pockets and it’s comfortable & flattering on. I am 5’2, 145lbs & big chested. The length hits just above my knee. I will have to add a safety pin above the 2nd button to keep it closed securely. I tried a large, but it was way too big. Overall - I highly recommend this dress.

Usually I wear a large. I got both a large and extra large in this dress to try on, and both were gapping at the bust. It's unfortunate because I loved the dress. Had to return.

Weird fit, buttons pull and too loose around waist. Wish it was a softer material that had better flow.

WhaleBaby - 2 days ago, Verified purchaser
Love this style. I'm 5'7" and around 125 athletic build, usually a 4 and the XS fits great! Tried a small but it was too loose. Solid blue is so pretty - material is linen like. Also buttons are functional and has pockets. Wasn't sure how this style would look on but it's so cute.

This dress is very beautiful. I love how it cinches at the waste. I purchased an XL and typically wear a Xl-1x on top and a 2X on the bottom. I’m pretty tall and it was not toooooo short but maybe wearing shorts underneath would help.

I wanted to love this so bad. I am 5’9” and 128 lbs and got the xs and it was STILL too big. I have a smaller chest but the top part was gaping and the waist was way too big. I’m normally a small. Unfortunately I will have to return it.

Super Cute Red Dress

Anonymous - 3 days ago
I was pleasantly surprised how nice and thick the fabric was. I was expecting something super thin but it appears to be good quality. This fit me perfectly and bought my usual size. I'm 5 feet and thought the length was at a good spot. Not too long not too short. It sits a couple inches above my knee.

This dress is exactly what I was looking for. I love that it has sleeves & is a cute short fit but still modest. You can move around without having to worry. I am wearing an XS and it definitely has some wiggle room left. I'd say it does run a tad bit large. The fit and style makes it work though. I am 5'3 and 122 pounds for reference.

I ordered a small and it seems to run very large or I received one with a mismarked size? Measures 22 inches across the bust. Had to return.

Pretty Red Dress

Hilda - 18 days ago
I bought this dress and tried 5 dresses. This is the only style that fits me well. I got the red one and it looks pretty. I tried the light blue but it doesn't look good on me and it does not fit me well although I both tried the size XL but in different colors. The length is good too, not too short like the other dress i tried which is the bell sleeve dress which is way too short.

weird cut

roshambo - 18 days ago, Verified purchaser
I was hoping these dresses would have the same fit as the "godet" sleeveless dresses from a month ago but sadly they are a bit different. The cut is cute too but it doesn't fit my short-waisted hourglass. The flares don't lay flat and are in the wrong place. I think it would look better on someone with a more '"straight" figure if that makes sense. The red pattern is cute, perfect for 4th of July and the light blue color is very pretty.
