Amazing Dress!
I LOVE this dress, it has been my go to travel dress all summer. It is so easy to wear with sneakers but also throw on some flats to dress it up. Its very comfortable and packs great. I get so many compliments on it!

This is such a weird dress
I don't know how it could be so off, the style is one that typically fits me well. The fabric was heavier than I expected. The skirt was heavy and the top felt like I was wearing a double layer of spanx - tight, thick and heavy, and pushed my breasts so they kind of spilled out toward my armpits. I don't know how to explain it, but it was so odd. It seemed to be true to size, just weird.

so comfy and easy to wear
I love this dress. The built in bra so no bra lines. The beautifully weighted fabric. It’s so polished but effortless. Seriously effortless. I get so many compliments wearing this dress. Highly recommend!

Where has this dress been all my life?!
I nabbed this on sale but honestly I love it so much that I’d gladly pay full price for more colors. I am 5’5” 160 lbs, 36B, and I got a large. It fits perfectly and I love the pockets and the cut out detail in the back. I am planning on wearing it on a trip with hot, humid weather and I think this suits the conditions perfectly. Can be dressed up for a nicer dinner but also cute during the day paired with sneakers and a baseball hat. Please please make more of these!!!! Would love a rust/brick color.

So chic!
Love this! It fits TTS and hugs just enough for some shape. The skirt flows perfectly without being too long. I’m 5’ 1.5”, 100 lbs. I can dress up (gold jewelry) or casual with ballerina flats/ nice thong sandals. Effortless and no worries about eating a big meal. Please bring back with more colors for fall!

Versatile dress
Love this. I got it in Grey Moonbeam, which is like a light beige. The built-in bra and pockets made this such an easy dress to not only wear anywhere, but also great for travel. I like the longer length too, giving it a classy feel. The racerback top gives it a sporty edge. I already know it'l be a great piece to layer with a sweater, sweatshirt or jacket on colder days ahead.
