Long Sleeve Belted Cotton Poplin Maxi Dress

I found this ran TTS (broad shoulders/DD). The fabric was nice & lightweight. The problem is the style was just too voluminous. I think this would work better for someone tall, straight up & down frame & thin. Back it goes

When I bought this dress I loved the fabric and the print. I paid a tailor to shorten it about a foot, with slits. I sewed the pockets closed because they looked bulky. I tried it on again and now that I paid attention to the top half more, I realized just how bulky and unflattering the shoulder-line was. I invested money in this piece, then realized it is wholly unflattering and unwearable. What a bummer.

I was disappointed in the fit of this dress. Just did not flatter my figure.

Had to return it’s way too large.

This is a great dress, absolutely love that it is breathable cotton and has pockets. The print is nice and I think it can be dressed up or down. This dress runs really big—it has a boxy shape and REQUIRES a belt to cinch. The photos make the waist look more defined. I don’t mind the (removable) belt that came with it, but the pictures make it look wider-thicker, I assume it’s doubled up on the model. The print of the dress doesn’t have a defined waist to break up the pattern, so lots of options on where to tie a belt based on body shape. Lastly, the dress is unlined but not see through, and the V neck is not shallow and sits higher up—I appreciate the “conservatism” because it’s very work appropriate.

I am usually a solid small and the sm/med was huge- looked like a sack. The next size down fit much better. Sleeves were shorter and tighter at the cuff but it’s a blouson sleeve, so it worked and I needed the dress in a hurry for an event. I switched out the fabric belt with a leather designer belt to dress it up a little. Love the fabric; breathes easy. Geo print is interesting and best feature of all…IT HAS POCKETS!

Very nice feel to the fabric of this dress. As I am on the smaller end of the size range I ordered I plan to have just a bit of the volume taken in from the sleeves and through the torso, but nothing major. I thought this dress was a good find for the price and will be good for work, vacation or spring events. Definitely recommend, I am also happy to see a natural fiber rather than polyester.

Love this dress because it’s so easy to wear and works for nearly every situation. Like the interesting print that keeps this from being just another black dress. Great fit and length. More like this please!

I bought the small/medium....I typically wear size Small in most clothes...but if it is not stretchy, I made need a medium. I am 5'9" fit - not thin- DD chest. The dress fit but was very large. The top part had enough room. I thought the belt helped with pulling in the extra material....maybe not so much because I tried it on for my best friend and she said it made me look older and bigger. Yikes! I returned it. I have long blond hair and the print did not look good on me. Love the way it looks in the photo....but did not work for me.

Very comfortable and easy to wear.
