Purchased both a small and medium of this. Both too large at the bottom. Fit great up top and around the waist. Loved the pattern. Unfortunately had to return both since they didn’t look right at the bottom.

This is a beautiful dress; I got the blue. Unfortunately, the top is just big. The arm holes are large, and the neck is large. I had to return, and now it's not available in the size down.

I usually wear a medium but sized up to a large to have extra room in the bust (34D) so it didnt pull. very cute on. the blue was sold out so i took the yellow. its cotton and will be great with sandles or tennis shoes.

I ordered this dress in yellow in my usual size Medium - I’m 5’7” and my measurements are 37/31/42. Firstly, the dress “fit” me but I think a Small would have been better. The dress felt very comfortable. The waist was not tight and there was plenty of room in the skirt and bust. If you’re pear shaped like me, go down a size. If you’re busty or prioritize comfort, I recommend getting your typical size. Despite the comfortable fit, I will definitely be returning this yellow dress because the color is terrible for me. It’s a kind of dingy brownish yellow/tan rather than lemony/pure yellow. Not a good color for me as I’m pale and cool toned. I also think the shoulder flaps are not flattering on me. Makes me look a little dowdy. Not sure if I would try the blue and white if it came back in stock. But it’s not a bad dress for just hanging out.

The blue and white fabric is absolutely gorgeous. However, the sleeves are totally strange. I wanted this to work so badly because the pattern is so pretty, but the fit is just weird.

Sunkissed - 15 days ago
This dress was so comfortable to wear. It’s lined plus it has pockets. This makes such a great spring or summer dress. It was rather low in the top but it held everything in nicely. I am only 5’1 so it did go all the way to my ankles without touching the floor. I sized down in this dress- I’m usually a medium and tried on a small.

I love the cut and colors of this dress. I often find that arm holes leave large gaps and this one was brilliant to have a piece of fabric to cover that

Perfect Spring Dress

Magpie198331 - 19 days ago, Verified purchaser
This might be the perfect spring dress!The yellow is a gorgeous shade with a very pretty subtle floral pattern. The shape is very flattering, and it’s extremely comfortable. The v neck isn’t too low or revealing on me, and it’s fitted while also being roomy enough to accommodate a larger bust. The smocking on the waist gives a great shape. I especially love that at the underarms there’s a little insert that lets the sleeves be fluttery and flowy without showing side boob or a bra peeking out.

Kim - 19 days ago, Verified purchaser
I loved this dress and I thought it was good quality for the price. It's fully lined and a really pretty pattern with a flattering waist. Unfortunately it was way too low cut on me. I tried it on with just my bra and again with a modesty bralette but the bralette didn't look right with it. I wish it fit me like it does on the model. Sadly will be returning.

Fit is incredible. 5’6”, 130 lbs, 36B, usually size 4 dress and I got an XS but S could also work. This is a beautiful dress with just the right cut. The blue is just stunning and I will wear with more expensive accessories. Considering also getting the yellow given how much I love the blue.
