Promising review: "I LOVE THIS DRESS! I am a HUGE fan of tie dye. Fits true to size and exactly like the model does in the picture (loose and not form fitting at all). I always get so many compliments on this and would wear it every day if I could. I wore it all summer and was sad to have to put it away for winter. It will be in heavy rotation next summer as well! Its a great quality for the price and you honestly can't go wrong with this purchase!" —Aew

Promising review: "I thought this was going to be one of those stiff cheap print fabrics because the price was low, but I thought the print was so cute I'd deal with the fabric not being the best. I was so pleasantly surprised to find that it was soft, adorable, and MUCH higher quality than I expected. I would have been happy with this dress if I had purchased it from ModCloth or similar at twice the price. It was true to size. Fully lined, just awesome. Love." —Allison Jackson

Promising review: "OHHHH MYYYYY GOSH!!!!! I will say that up front, I am AMAZON everything because I'm always so busy with work that I have no patience to shop for clothes in the 'outside world.' And I NEVER have time to write reviews, but THIS dress, out of the hundreds of clothing orders I've placed on Amazon, TRULY deserves the time to review! This dress is AMAZING!! It is not only beautiful, it makes you FEEL absolutely gorgeous in it!! No ironing, no fussing, just easy, breezy, and ready for fun! It's casual enough for the day and dressy enough to just switch out the boots for heels for a Saturday night date. It is so comfortable, playful and I got TONS of compliments on it!! Everything is perfect about the dress and I hate to say one bad thing about it, but the sizing is slightly off. I'd say go with a size down. You'll feel like a million bucks in this dress -- and everyone will tell you that YOU look like a million more! YESSSSSS!!" —DaisyLove

Promising review: "Was pleasantly surprised when I received this dress. I was really concerned that this dress wouldn't fit me right, but it actually fit perfectly. The dress wasn't too long and it went right to my ankles. I can't wait to wear this dress out. The great thing about this dress is that you can dress it up with jewelry and wedges or you can wear it with sandals for a more casual look. Definitely thinking about purchasing this dress in another color!" —Megan Klein

It's also not quite as short as it looks in the picture (at least it isn't on me — I am 5'6"), which is great because I am wearing it to a work event." —Alyssa Creed

Promising review: "As soon as I saw this print I knew I had to have it! I have quite the collection of kitty print dresses thanks to MoCcloth and this dress was a perfect addition. It's lightweight enough for summer and will layer well in the winter. Also, as someone who is between sizes, I love when dresses and skirts have an elastic panel in the back." —Zoe
