Q: Is the material of this dress stretchy?

submitted by Guerita_Rdgz Tiktok - 21 days ago
  • 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. Linen is known for its stiffness, while rayon offers a bit more flexibility and stretch, especially when wet. I hope this information is helpful. Happy Shopping! - Cynthia

Sizing off and too short

4 out of 5 stars
MizLuv - 2 days ago, Verified purchaser
Super cute dress and made from a really lovely, high quality fabric. I got the red because it seemed so summery. Unfortunately, I had to return because the sizing is off. Medium is my size about 98% of the time for dresses. Too big. It will probably shrink a bit, but I think it would still be too large. Got a small, which was close but not ideal. Shrinkage would’ve rendered it way too tight. ALSO. Dress is a lot shorter than I expected — the medium length was borderline at best. I’m 5’4” and it showed way more of my granny legs than was suitable. The small was even shorter, so even if it had fit well in the bodice, it still would have been returned. If you’re petite, not 60+ and if the bodice fits you right, then you will love this adorable dress!

Gorgeous summer dress. For those complaining about the dress not being “paisley,” the stars are shaped into a paisley pattern. Therefore, the description is accurate. Overall, the dress is gorgeous and tts.

Beware of big chested or get smaller size th buttons gap and open making it not good. I fit in large good but buttons were gaping so I ordered XL and it fit the exact same as Large. I miss the Knox rose brand I haven’t liked anything from target since they stopped making that brand

I initially tried on this dress in the store but they didn't have my size, so I ordered it online. I love this dress. It's a nice, soft material, is very pretty, and is feminine and flattering. However, it came literally stuffed into a plastic bag that was then taped shut with a single piece of tape (see photos.) It honestly looked like someone had previously returned it and they didn't even bother to repack it. Whatever the case, it was just really odd and unprofessional, and now my dress is SO wrinkly.

Bad Button

Loha23 - 8 days ago, Verified purchaser
I want to love this dress - the style is so cute on me and the color is perfect for the spring to summer transition. However - I wore it on a recent weekend trip to Savannah, GA and a button in the middle kept coming undone. The dress is not at all too tight and it didn't seem like the button was being pulled. It's almost as if the button was too small for the hole it's supposed to go through. I had people (kindly) coming up to me and telling me my button was undone all day 🤦🏼‍♀️

Great dress, love the red for Patriotic holidays. I am 5’4”, and approximately 126 lbs and purchased the M. It’s a bit low cut so I wore it with a white tank underneath. Got a lot of compliments!

Lauren - 8 days ago, Verified purchaser
This dress is darling! The red with white stars is perfect for summer gatherings. I would say it runs a little large, but I added a canvas belt and it worked out great. The material washes well and does not wrinkle too much. Length is flattering and not too short. Overall, I'd recommed.

Bought this dress in the red paisley print which has small stars all over - so cute! Perfect for the patriotic holidays starting with Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day and any day in between. The a-line cut is figure flattering and the v-neck is just right - not too low. Overall this dress fits true to size. Love!

I got the light blue and plan to get more colors as this particular style is very flattering on me! I am a literal box and it gave me some curve! It was a good length on me as well. I am 5’5” and 135lbs. Washes and dries well also.

Ahoul11 - 12 days ago
Tried this on in store and wanted to love it so bad . The red is so cute!! The buttons gaped you could see my skin through every button. Usually a problem when too tight but this was loose on me . Tried the next size down and somewhat helped but a 2 of the buttons still gaped . Poorly constructed. Could’ve easily been fixed with a piece of fabric sewn behind to buttons.I don’t have a large chest . Was surprised to see reviews saying it’s good for large busts with the button gaping issue . Sigh
