cute summer dress
Love the top part of the dress it’s really flattering and comfortable. The dress does have pockets which definitely make it poof out the sides more making it appear wider. I’m going to get the pockets removed and see if that helps. Overall, it’s a nice summer dress for a good price.

super comfy-kind of long
The dress is a little long but otherwise I absolutely love it. I’m actually able to go without a bra as well.

comfy and flattering
Got a large (my usual size). Super comfy and flattering. Also the top fabric is supportive enough where I don’t have to wear a bra. Wonderful when it’s hot in the summer.

Perfect for summer
I'm usually a small or medium in Madewell dresses but I needed this one in large for the bust and underarm. I am 5'1" so this is long on me (ankle-length) but not so long that I need to hem it. It is perfect for casual summer days with sneakers. You could also dress it up if you wanted to. Fabric is quite lightweight and doesn't feel particularly luxe, but that doesn't bother me.
