Southampton Embroidered Maxi Shirtdress

This dress has a cotton shell with polyester lining and embroidery. The website description indicates 100% cotton. Returning it because I don't want to wear plastic.

I should have paid attention to the previous review. It is indeed lined in polyester and therefore not the breezy cotton spring/summer dress I was hoping for. Returned. Otherwise, it seemed nice quality.

It says 100% cotton but lining is 100% polyester. Why would anyone want to wear plastic ?

This dress looks really elegant but there are 2 major flaws in it. First thing, it is lined with this really cheap synthetic material that make it sound like you are wearing a plastic bag. It rustles each time you move and makes this really weird sound like someone is crushing a plastic bag. I wish they had used a different material for the lining. The other flaw is that the sizing is off. I got it in medium which is my actual size and it was really really snug. So I exchanged for a bigger size and then it looks weird around the underarm because although now it fits the belly area, it is looser in the upper body area. I so wanted to keep this dress because it looks amazing but I don't want to sound like a walking plastic bag.

Let's start with the good; this dress is extremely flattering and beautiful in person. Now, for the bad, the reviews highlighting the noise that results from the polyester lining were spot on. I cannot emphasize this enough, every little movement you make will be accompanied by a swooshing sound, think of the old school windbreaker jacket noises.

I absolutely love this dress, it really is beautiful! I ordered both small and medium, both fit. I chose the small as it was more of a precise perfect fit, the medium had bit extra give in waist area. I am 5’8, 150lbs and naturally large busted34G, so sometimes button up items tend to fit tighter in the bust area. Both sizes fit bust area perfectly, no pulling on the buttons. The length for me comes down to mid/lower calf’s. The material is light, airy/flows, the embroidery detail is so pretty! I purchased the white w blue and the blue is fairly close to what’s pictured, more like a deep navy blue. Overall I love the dress, it’s flattering, comfortable and I definitely recommend, you will not be disappointed.

This dress is classy and beautifully made!

Fits well, well made and comfortable.

I am a solid medium and couldn’t get in this at all.

Elegant piece of clothing. A keepsake style

Could not even get this dress up my hips when stepping in. Extremely small for sizing. Ordered an XL and am usually a size 14. Didn’t work. The XL is likely for a size 10. Maybe.
