Love it! Comfy and Pretty
I’m 5’7”, 130 pounds, 34DD chest, and I want to buy it again in black and a small. I only bought a medium bc that’s all that was left. It fits nice but could be more fitted for a firmer fit. This color is nice and prettier in person than the picture. I want to wear this dress all the time! You can dress up and down and so comfortable. Almost feels like a Lulu comfort and style.

Not meant for bigger chest
I am a 32D and got my usual size S but the chest area is way too tight. I sized up to M and the chest fits better (still tight) but the rest of the dress fits way too loose and baggy…. Just can’t win with this dress. Sadly will be returning

Please bring it back in more colors!
I love this dress! Even as a DD I don’t have to wear a bra with this and it’s so comfy. I love traveling with it because it’s cooling and has pockets. I hope it comes back in additional colors! Super flattering dress!

great for moms!
I loved the dress so much that I bought three. Two black and one white. Wore these all summer especially to the parks with the kids. Has pockets which is a huge plus for me as a mom. They are comfortable and cute.

Sloppy fit and shelf bra not in the description
This dress features a shelf bra that isn't in the product description. I was hoping to throw this on over workout clothes after a pilates or dance class but the structured shelf bra makes it uncomfortable. Also, the fit is really loose and sloppy. I will say the fabric itself seems to resist wrinkles so you could totally throw this in a gym bag or pack it, but it just doesn't work for me.

Runs large and not for short torsos
This dress runs much larger than expected, an XS fits more like a small or even a medium (For reference I’m 5’3 and 100lbs). The length isn’t very flattering if you have a short torso, as it can look frumpy.

best travel dress
Love this dress! Bought it in black and also pink fawn. I love the built in shelf bra - super comfy, plenty of support, and I get to go “braless” - especially great on hot days. (34B). The skirt is super lightweight, and I love being able to stash things in the pockets. Great for flying, road trips, or just running errands super comfortably. Oh and if you swap out sneakers for sandals, you can easily wear it out to dinner, too!
