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.

Weird fit and cut

Bottom half was too large. Shelf bra is not super supportive. Middle seam at the torso is at a weird spot with weird rippling. Makes your midsection very unattractive.

Great dress!

I initially purchased the black and went back and got the moonbeam color. Super comfortable and airy and I feel slightly dressed up but oh so comfortable. Can pair with gym shoes or sandals. I’m 5’3 and was worried it would be too long but it fits just right.

Awesome dress

This dress is a winner! Effortless with a built in bra as a bonus. I will have it altered for length ❤️❤️ Need more colors

Maybe for tall ladies

I love the idea of a sporty yet polished dress but unfortunately this one did not work. It’s made for someone with a long torso and long legs. I’m 5’5” and the waist came down too low causing the skirt to bunch up around hips. It’s also quite long - the XS was between mid- calf and ankle. Overall weird fit and just too much fabric for a summer dress.

the most comfortable dress

I love how light and comfortable this dress is, I’ve dressed it up with chunky heels and dressed it down with sneakers.
