Meet Again Midi Dress

Beautiful colors and embroidery and I love it for the most part but beware the back is see through and the embroidery is sewn onto sheer fabric so it puckers and does not lie flat. There are air pockets of material around the flowers and seams. I wish they had XXS ~ I’m usually XS in free people but this ran big on me in the skirt part. The shape is wide at hip and then narrow at bottom. The back strap tie is easy enough to tie by yourself, and the back is not too low. Open back is well above waist on me. I’m narrow in the hip, wide shoulders - 105 pounds and five feet five. The dress is at my ankles with high heels. I feel it could have been perfect but the puckering bothers me and the loose hip material swivels on me so it’s not a perfect fit for my shape. I’ll keep it but need to buy a full slip and I wish it was shorter like on the model so may try to hem it.

This is my dream dress! I’ve been eyeing it for so long, and it finally dropped in price so I got one. Free People does run large, so I sized down to a medium. It is so flattering, but as soon as I tried it on I heard a few beads drop to the ground and a few sequins were on the floor. Nothing major, but you’d think a dress that retails for $300 would sew the details on better. I also noticed a few loose strings on some of the embroidery, so it definitely lost more beading at some point or there was no quality check. Beware that it’s definitely translucent and might not fair well in the sun. Overall, I’m still in love with how it looks on me that I’ll keep it. If it continues losing beads and sequins, I’ll just sew more on (but you shouldn’t have to for something that costs so much).

I love this dress. Unfortunately I couldn’t keep any of the 3 I ordered. Two arrived with oil stains on the front, one arrived missing significant beading, and all 3 had noticeable mismatching seams on the side lace, making it look cheap. These seem like seconds. Sadly giving up on this dress after 3 tries. The coloring, fit, and details are beautiful if you don’t mind the flaws.

I am 5’9” & typically a size Small or a 4. Because reviews said it ran slightly large, I went with the XS. The XS was slightly tight around the armholes, the rest fit my figure perfectly. I am keeping the XS as I think my usual size S would fit too large in the body.
