[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this women's denim dress online. This mini black denim dress was not the best fitting. It ran very large and the material was heavy and thick. I purchased a size small, which is my usual size. I typically wear between a 2-4 in tops and dresses. This dress was HUGE! I had to cinch the drawstring as tight as it would go, but it still felt really big in the bust, the waist, and just all over. The material is heavy, even for a denim dress. This would not be comfortable on a hot summer day. I like the way the dress looks and the style, but the fit and the material were way off. For the price, I would have expected better. I received an incentive to write this review.

Drop Waist Denim Short Sleeve Dress

soziecnizzy1 - 10 days ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am 5’ tall and 120lbs~ and wear a size small and or medium for more of a loose fit. I had such high hopes for this denim dress but it fell short. It was absolutely shapeless, the dress was heavy, and the drop waist looked bad on me because I have a short torso. I ordered a size small and could have ordered an XS so definitely size down. Although the idea was great the design just fell short for me personally, maybe if you’re taller this would be better but it didn’t work out for this short girl here. Also the model photos look nothing like the real thing and I was a bit disappointed with it. Really wanted to love this one.. I received an incentive to write this review.

I love the material that is why I gave it a 3 star and it is very pretty however I am 5’3 and it went below my knees. I am usually a Medium and I may have gotten away with a small.

soziemsheji - 16 days ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wear a size medium dress. I have a 32 inch waist and a 36 inch hips. I have a 36C bust. This size medium dress was a little big on me so I would recommend going one size down. I absolutely loved this dress for the summer season. It was extremely soft and comfortable. I also loved that there was a tie around the waist so it made for a better fit. The dark charcoal color was very pretty. This outfit could be dressed up or dressed down and it was perfect for a casual workday. I received an incentive to write this review.

soziejodilynnb1 - 19 days ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This size XS drop waist drawstring minidress fits my 5’3 smaller frame a little too big. My measurements at the time of this review are C31 W27 H34 and weight around 120lbs. The drop waist seem to be about a half inch too long, doesn’t look in the correct place for me. I don’t like the low V neck, dips too low into my bra area for my comfort level. I like the pockets, and that the drawstring is able to tighten. I received an incentive to write this review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Height 5'5.5". Weight 173lbs. Waist 35". I purchased a large. Gosh, I thought this was so stinken cute on the model, but it's NOT on me. Yikes! This is a heavier denim, like a jacket or pants. No stretch. This is not ideal for my summers. I like the pockets in the front and back. The drawstrings help a little; however, if the waist had some elasticity, it would fit slightly better on me. I received an incentive to write this review.

I absolutely love this dress! I’m 238 lb and about 5’4, so I ordered an XXL. It fit perfectly and compliments my curves. I also have a longer torso and a larger bust, so this dress looks great on me. It also falls just above my knees so I can wear this outfit out in the spring and summer. I bought the blue denim one and the color is very cute and looks very light. The drawstring also gives you some shape to an otherwise boxy dress. I recommend you buy it and try it. I wasn’t sure pulling it out the packing, but it looks great on me! My only complaint is that it’s a bit awkward to take off. There’s no stretch, so you have to get it back over your head to get out of it. I imagine that could be problematic for some folks of different ages/abilities.

It’s perfect! I’m 5’3” and it is proportioned very well on me. Dropped waist is very on-trend. The fabric is also great: heavy enough so there is no see through but not stiff.

This black denim dress is great. It does run big. Bought a medium but returned it for a small. It is low cut but I wore a black sports bra/tank. Love the fabric. It’s not too thick and not too thin. I wore it with cute tennis shoes and received several compliments. I’m 5.3 and 145.
