Promising review: "This dress is gorgeous! I have received tons of compliments from random strangers, and I've only worn it about three times. It's ridiculously comfortable and the pockets are excellent. I mean, pockets in a dress are one of the greatest things ever, but I feel like most of the time I can't actually use them. It creates an unsightly bulge. That is not the case with this dress. Because it's so open and flowy, I can stash a ChapStick or a pen in the pockets without it showing at all. The color is also true to the Amazon photo, though of course, depending on lighting, sometimes it looks more golden yellow and other times more orange. Either way, it's going to be perfect for fall." —Jessica

Promising review: "There are a lot of misses when it comes to Amazon clothes, but this was high quality, soft, not at all sheer, and looks great. I got a large so it didn't look like cling film. Even with extra fabric, though, it's very form fitting, so you better be fine with whatever bumps and lumps you may or may not have. Next paycheck, I'll swing back and get a few more in different colors." —Margaery Tyrell
