Promising review: "I've worn this dress multiple times when I just need something to throw on. It is quite short so if you know you will be outside or doing a lot of sitting/standing etc wear some bike shorts under it. Overall super cute and super comfortable! I am size 16/18 US and pretty top-heavy and the 1X fits perfectly." —Bianca v

Promising review: "This dress is so pretty. The color is beautiful and the style is so flattering for all body types. I'm 5'4" and wearing a medium because I was a bit afraid a small might be too short and I'm glad I went with the medium." —fit Mommy In Heels

Promising review: "There's a lining that extends to approx. the upper thigh (I'm 5'6”) and a few hook and eyes for a better fit in the upper bodice, or breast area (it seems most manufacturers just don't go to the trouble of including these extra items). They give allowance for different breast sizes, which can make ALL the difference! The bodice also leaves an option for a cami to show through, or to adjust the amount of skin you're comfortable with showing. I ordered my normal size and it fit SO perfectly! Love the long flowing sleeves and the embroidery, it's done tastefully. I ordered it during the Utah winter thinking of wearing with jeans or leggings, possibly as a cape or layering item, but it's definitely more of a dress, sewn together all around. I've been wearing it during winter as a dress with tall boots, as long as I know I won't be out in the cold long. Can't wait to wear it this spring and summer!" —MyaChelle

Promising review: "I absolutely love this dress — it fits perfectly and it's so adorable. The first day I wore it I got so many compliments and it was so comfortable. It was nice to wear as a dress or even a long shirt with leggings. The color is really cute too. I definitely recommend it and will probably buy more in different colors!" —Jasmine Ball

Promising review: "I figured this would just be a cheaper quality dress since I only paid $4.99 for it, but it is surprisingly great quality and fits great! The color and style are exactly as pictured. The only negative is its a little loose in the lower back area but that's probably just my body type! I have a smaller waist and bigger hips. I normally wear a medium and got a small size. I love it! Not too short, I am 5'9." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I have been wanting this same dress from Free People but it was $118. I was leery about this considering it was much cheaper in cost but it is PERFECT! I'm 5'6", 116 lbs., and it fit absolutely perfect. Great length too. Keep in mind you can't wear a bra with it and if you are larger busted (I'm small, an A cup) then it may fit totally different. It's thin and lightweight but with skin-colored undies, I had no problem with lines or visibility. I'm considering buying it in another color 😍" —Bullitt02797

Promising review: "I am a sucker for dresses with pockets and when I saw this off-the-shoulder dress, I wanted it! I am 108 lbs. and 5'2". I bought this dress in a size small. If I wear it with flip-flops, it barely grazes the ground, but I'd rather that then too short or too long. There is a slit on each side of the dress. I like the soft cotton fabric, and it is a true navy blue. Super cute! I'm thinking of buying it in pink too!" —NSP

Promising review: "The perfect beach dress for the summer. This dress is fully lined and the material is soft and feels cottony. Very comfortable on the skin. It is a pull-on closure with an elastic waist and a fabric tie. The sizing is accurate to US sizes. For reference sake, I am 5'4" tall and I weigh approximately 106 pounds and I bought this in size small." —Geetha

Promising review: "This dress is exactly like pictured. Thin, flowy material. It's really pretty. Comes to right above my knee. I had to sew the back shoulder part tighter (I have no boobs) so it would be tighter on my chest. It's perfect I have not a single complaint. My husband bought it for me for my birthday. He is taking me on a nice date night and I wanted to look fancy but sexy and this does that. Really happy with my purchase! It's very flattering!! I would definitely recommend it." —Ayla

Promising review: "I was afraid this dress wouldn’t fit but I wanted to give it a try anyway. I’m a size 16, typically an XL shirt, and my bust is a 38DD. I want this dress in every color! The bust ties are VERY stretchy. I hope to get it in every dark color." —Kim

Reviewers have pointed out that this dress seems to run a tad big — customers suggest ordering a size down!
Promising review: "I bought this for my company Christmas party. It was a runaway hit — so much so that people who didn't attend the party were asking about the dress because so many people said how pretty it was. I was called 'Marilyn' since I wore this with red patent heels and classic red lipstick. The fabric had enough give to make it comfortable to wear the whole night without feeling constricted. The fabric itself is smooth, of a good weight, and irons to a crisp finish. BTW, I am a size 14/16 dress, D cup, and ordered an XL. Perfect fit. I am 5'4" and the skirt hits several inches below the knee. I bought a petticoat to wear with it, and while you may not need it, it does add to the drama." —Christine Garcia

Promising review: "This dress is so nice for the price, it's kind of a steal. Fits so well. Soft, nice material. Beautiful and classy. As one reviewer mentioned it can look a little broad in the shoulders but it's also part of the vintage flutter-sleeve style so I don't mind it. I'm 5'2", 140 lbs., 38-33-40. Usually fit size 6–8, medium. The dress was true to size." —Kaela

Promising review: "I am very pleased with the fit, look, and feel of this dress. I am 5'6", 130 lbs., and I ordered a small. It fits great — maybe even a little extra room. The material is flowy and light. It could be worn in winter with a cute pair of boots, or in the summer with a pair of flip-flops. I will definitely be buying another (or two or three or four) in another color." —kryss Dwyer

Promising review: "I bought this dress on a whim and was a little skeptical about it. I have never received so many compliments on a dress before. I wore it on a trip to the Biltmore Estate with my husband and in-laws, and we honestly couldn't get through the day without someone stopping me every few minutes to ask where I got my dress or to tell me how gorgeous it was. It flowed beautifully on that windy day. I'm obsessed with it, I even bought two more in different colors. I highly recommend!!!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I absolutely love this dress! It fits perfectly and the color is just like the green in the picture. It is constructed like a wrap dress so the two sides flow independently and open up all the way to the waist — it's definitely risky. I used a tiny safety pin to tack the edge down to the fabric underneath it (about halfway between the waist and knee). It is worth the trouble to me because I love the dress." —Alicia Dujets

Promising review: "I'm 5'11, 140-ish lbs., 34C, and I purchased a small, which fit perfectly! Skirt hits my mid-calf. Slip underneath hits right above the knees. Not the richest material, but very soft, lightweight, and airy for those hot summer days! Nice soft feminine floral print. Exactly as shown in the pictures. A very nice dress for the price. Overall I would definitely recommend." —Dee

Promising review: "First, this dress fits me perfectly. Second, the material and the seam are perfect. Third, I’ve been washing it and the color hasn’t faded because it seems the material is like silk. So I purchased a 2XL since I’m pregnant and this is the comfiest dress I’ve had." —Christy

Promising review: "The dress is extremely comfortable and it fits perfectly! I love how it stretches but still gives that fitted look. It’s a perfect dress for church or a casual event! I wore a purple heel with mine and it added that pop of color to push the outfit over the edge." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I really needed some new dresses for work and I’m super happy with my purchase of this one. I usually wear a size large, so I ordered the size 10 and it fits me perfectly. The detail on this dress is so cute. I love the fabric. This dress is very flattering on and I am super happy with my purchase. I feel so pretty in this dress!" —MelB

Promising review: "Ohhhh my goodness, I have been RAVING about this dress ever since I got it. It’s so comfy and the top stays up so it never needs constant readjusting like other off-the-shoulder clothing. It looked great in photos! It closely matches the color in the pic. I also appreciated that I really didn’t need to steam it at all, which was surprising considering it came folded up tightly. Highly recommend for spring/summer weddings, vacation, etc.!" —Kindle Customer

FYI, some of the reviewers mention this running a tad small, so you might want to consider sizing up!
Promising review: "This dress is beautiful! It fits exactly as expected and I received it two days after I purchased it. The dress is made of a really nice/spandex material, thick, and not see-through at all. The embroidery on the chest and sleeves is done almost perfectly. It hits at a great length, not too short and not too long. There are so many different ways you can wear this dress, by dressing it up for a wedding with some heels or to a barbecue with some flats or sandals." —Kelsey

Promising review: "Based on the reviews, I ordered a size up for the chest area to not be too tight but I found it runs true to size. I love the polka dots, and the style of the dress is exactly what my grandma (who was born in 1918) used to wear when I was a kid in the '80s. The fabric is not see-through." —CK

Promising review: "I can't say enough good things about this adorable babydoll dress!!! I am 5'1" and ordered a size medium which fits perfectly. The eyelet detail and ruffles are too cute and the length works great for me. There is a liner, but I definitely suggest wearing another slip or nude undergarments. The quality of the fabric though is really great. Overall, I'm super happy with this little dress and can't wait to wear it out!" —The Savvy Maven

Promising review: "I love love love this dress. I wore it for Easter this year and got so many compliments. My ONLY complaint is the boob area. However, this was only a complaint on Easter when I would have liked to have been more modest. I had to pin the dress in the cleavage area to make sure the girls were covered. Since then I have bought another dress in a different color and am excited to wear them this summer! BUY THIS DRESS. If you’re second-guessing whether or not to buy it, BUY IT." —Rhianna Hill

Promising review: "I bought this dress for Coachella. The skirt is a little see-through but it’s cute, I wore a leopard bathing suit bottom under and it was sexy. The details are cute and it looks just like the Free People dress. Sizing: I wear size 6 pants, weigh 130 lbs., and am 5’2". Size small fit perfect." —Brooke Murray

Promising review: "It’s a quality dress for the price. It’s lightweight and the material doesn’t feel heavy when wearing it. I ordered a large based on reviews and I think I should have ordered a medium instead. I’ll still wear it though, it just fits a little loose. I’m 5’3", 155 pounds, and 36D for reference. It's a beautiful pattern." —Kyra

Promising review: "Great purchase for the price. Just what I was looking for! Comfy summer dress for any occasion. Being a momma, I'm always looking for things just like this. You can dress it up or down and it has pockets!! Can't get much better. Fit is perfect for me — I'm typically a S-M (120 lbs., 32C) and it's like it was made just for me! Armholes are a little longer than most dresses but I like that for the summer so sweat marks don't show! Not see-through so great for any pair of comfy undies. Cute with a belt and also cute with none." —B&E Worthington
