Fits amazing and feels expensive. I’m 5’3 and 125ish pounds and the medium fits perfect. The fit probably wouldn’t be great if you have a very large chest.

This dress surprised me in the best way I love the top corset style detail and it just fits so well I love it! It is not lined but the linen material and stripe pattern feel light and breezy but covered. I got my true size medium I am 5ft4 140 lbs and it fits so well!

Beautiful dress but runs big. Unfortunately even the XS is too big for me, so I'll be returning it. But it's very soft and the pockets are a nice touch.

Stripes do not match

3 out of 5 stars
Sarah Lynn - 4 days ago, Verified purchaser
The stripes do not match at all so it’s too distracting for someone neurotic like myself. The fabric also looks a little cheap too. Will be returning. I might try the white and see if it works.

I'm 5'2 and weigh 143 lbs. The Large is way roo big. I'm smaller chested and it fits great in that area, I don't have to worry about a bra. I plan to return it for either a small or Medium. It's very flowy after the chest area.

stephT - 6 days ago, Verified purchaser
I purchased the white dress and while I loved the fit, I returned it because the skirt part is see through. Since it’s linen, I didn’t want to have to layer something underneath.

This dress is so flattering and gives and enhances women with hourglass figures. I have a large bust and it was a bit tighter there. But overall the dress is flowy and will be perfect for spring and summer!

WEIRD boob sizing for striped one

roshambo - 8 days ago, Verified purchaser
I only found the XXL in my store but the dress was so cute. I have DD chest but it was a bit loose in the boobs and very loose in the waist area so I wanted to size down. I found the L and XL in another store and they were drastically different in size to the XXL. The chest area "cups" were miniscule. It appeared to jump from XXL to Small. So... I either choose a size that is 2 sizes too big or too small? Sizing is way off. Bummer. It's so cute. (the L fit fine but the cut was so off....)

Not sure was going on with the sizes in the clothing I have to returned them for a larger size, I always wear small or sometimes M, this time I have to exchage the clothes for Large, this dress when it fit properly give you a nicely busted fitting without feeling squeezed. If you have large chest just size up.

Comfortable Dress

CLTmom - 12 days ago, Verified purchaser
I love this dress. Purchased in the stripped pattern. I’m 164 lbs. and 5’3 with chest 40C. The XL was a better fit without drowning me, still giving me curves. Although the buttons don’t lay flat, it’s not too noticeable. The slightly raised middle buttons don’t show cleavage, so it doesn’t bother me but may bother others. It’s a comfortable fit because of the elasticity across the back, to avoid the feeling of constriction across my chest. The XXL fits better across the bodice but was too baggy in the skirt, felt like I wearing a bag. I just hope it didn’t shrink as one reviewer mentioned because it’s nearly perfect off the rack. Just washed it after wearing once. I hope it didn’t shrink as one reviewer mentioned.

Melis - 18 days ago, Verified purchaser
Sized too small. All this year’s (2025) summer dresses are sized way too small. I am 135lb, 5’7” 34B, 34”chest, 28”waist, 38” hips. According to the size chart I am a size small and I have fit a size small in this brand for years. Usually the summer cotton/linen dresses are sized up to accommodate the inevitable shrinkage. Even washed on cold and hung dry these dresses shrink. This year, they are NOT sized to accommodate shrinking. So if you plan on washing your clothes, size UP. This dress was tight in the chest out of the bag, zero room to shrink, and I have a small chest. I bought 6 summer dresses online during the spring sale and will be returning every one for being too small. Apparently I am now a size medium, even though my size has not changed and neither has the size chart they provide.

Cute but hard to get on/off

4 out of 5 stars
Thumbs up graphic, would recommend
Jo - 22 days ago, Verified purchaser
This dress is SO cute once it's on, but it is tricky to get and off because the buttons don't actually do anything and the front has zero stretch; there's just the stretchy panel on the back. I'm keeping it because it's cute enough to be worth the struggle but I'm not sure this would work for everyone. If the button panel were functional, the problem would be solved. Take note, clothing designers!
