Tall girl's review: Tricky if you're in-between sizes

3 out of 5 stars
aramirez - 3 days ago, Verified purchaser
I'm tall and slim: 5'10", 138 lbs., I normally wear sizes 4/6 but I feel like I'm solidly between sizes small and medium and have to go up or down depending on the brand. I sooooo wanted to love this dress. I ordered both a size small and medium. The small was too small (the elastic waist band hit too high on my rib cage/bust line) and the size medium was too big and loose. Bummer! I liked the length of the size small on me, it hit at a more flattering place than the medium. I don't have the time or energy to find a seamstress to make one of these sizes fit me perfectly, so unfortunately I'll have to return both. I might see if I can find it in store and cross my fingers that the sizing is inconsistent and another one will fit better.

I really wanted to love this but the neck just cut too high, which cause the darts in the bust to be weirdly low. So disappointed bc it really is cute.

Very pretty and lightweight. The only thing I wish was different is the design on the back because the front looks more elevated than the back

I purchased this dress in green stripe, it was very cute and i wanted to love it so much. I'm quite top heavy (36DD) and it made my chest/breast area look very wide. It would be better on a B cup.

AJB2213 - 8 days ago, Verified purchaser
Ordered online. I like the stripes and the color of the dress. I found the material to be very weird. Felt like a canvas material and thinner than I expected. Sizing was good, I ordered XXL as a plus size woman 5’3” and 250lbs. I just didn’t love the cut of the dress and the material. Will return.

I purchased the vertical green striped version of this dress. I love the higher neck in front and the smocked back on this dress. I can wear a regular bra, and the fabric is soft. Plus, it has pockets!

Kenabeana - 11 days ago, Verified purchaser
Beautiful dress but if you have a heavier chest or broad / muscular shoulders, the top part of the dress doesn’t do anything to flatter your shape. I wanted to keep it because it looks so good on everyone else I’ve seen it on, but it just didn’t look as good on me. Must try everything on!

Absolutely love this dress! I was shocked by how much I liked it. It’s very flattering and comfortable. Love the exposed back just for something different. Very cute with a denim jacket.

This dress is light and comfortable. I like the neckline in the front but it is more open in the back, very attractive design. The stretch in the top is comfortable.

This dress is so cute, chic and flattering. I was originally going to return it and size down as it was a bit large and dragged about 2 inches on the floor (I am 5'). But then I rinsed it in warm water and hung it to dry and it shrank about a half size and up an inch or so I think... now it doesnt drag so I dont have to go to the tailor. Yay! So maybe try washing if it is too large on you. I would not try the dryer!

courtc - 12 days ago, Verified purchaser
This is a great spring and summer dress! I’d recommend sizing down. I’m 5’4”, 195 lbs, usually wear a size 12. I ordered the green stripe in a medium and a large and found the sizing to be generous and kept the medium and it’s not tight or constricting at all. Very cute on, comfortable and casual and not too long. The fabric is heavy enough to not show lines/colors of undergarments (though I didn’t try black, it may show through) but light enough for warm temps.

I love the fit and comfort! Can easily be dressed up or worn casual. Perfect for Easter and to wear to church. It’s long. I’m 5’8 1/2 and it’s goes to almost my ankle in length. I weigh 148lbs and 36C. Bust area is snug but not too snug.

Very cute! Good spring/summer dress that will look good with sandals or sneakers. I’m a size 4 with big nursing boobs and the XS fit perfect with the smocking. Prob needs to be worn with strapless bra because of the wide set straps. I’m 5’3 and it goes all the way to my feet, but doesn’t look too overpowering with the vertical stripe.
