Women's Smocked Knit Maxi A-Line Dress - Universal Thread™

Top part is so tight. You have to be flat chested to wear this dress. I’m 5’4”, 110b, 32D. Purchased XS, my usual size through out brands. The smoked part flatted out when I wore it since it was too small but the bottom part was big. Like the color & fabric but it’s a pass.

Nice fabric, adorable style, size up as it runs small

Very cute. Sizing in the top seems tight. My normal size is so snug the rouching goes away over my bust completely- and I’m not large chested. Also i have some unflattering bulge up and out of the arm holes. I’m going to try a size up. (Wearing an XS which is too tight. 5’5, 115)

I originally grabbed a small in this dress but the top was SO extremely tight it was unflattering and uncomfortable. I ended up exchanging for a large (even though I’m usually a small at Target) and it’s perfect now with a growing baby bump! The sizing being wrong bugs me, but it wasn’t the end of the world for me.

Tried XS & as previous reviews indicate, could barely get over my head (thinking I mixed up arm hole with neck….). Fortunately, found the small fit, but still a struggle to get over my head. Medium would have been easier to get on, but would have been too long. The small did fit my 5’5” 120# frame & after the struggle, looked great!

NOT made for short people. The torso portion of the dress was down over my butt (I am short, 5’2”), but avoid if you’re petite.

Echoing what others have said, the top is so tight. I normally wear a XS or S in Universal Thread. I bought a S and could barely get it on (and I have a small chest). I’m going to see if a L will work better because I think the style.

The dress is a comfortable, casual dress in a nice neutral green. It’s important to note that although most of the dress fits true to size, the top is VERY tight, as in sports bra tight.

The top is extremely tight so it loses the texture around the largest part of the bust if you have a larger chest.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved how this dress looked on the hanger, but wasn’t a fan of it on my body type. I ordered a size large, which is my typical size. It’s fits true to size and was a good length and comfortable to get on and off. I didn’t find the. Form fitting topped to be very flattering. It didn’t provide any shape and just did not look great on my body type. The fabric was very comfortable, and the skirt was quite comfortable though. I received an incentive to write this review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This maxi dress is size S runs pretty small. The top bodice area was not stretchy enough and was a pretty tight fit. It had a drop waist style so the pleated A line started at almost the hop area. That opened up the top to show any curves and rolls present so it wasn’t super flattering on me with my small bust and tummy rolls. Pair with sneakers for a more casual look. For reference I’m 5’4” and measure at 32-28-38. re casual look. For reference I’m 5’4” and measure at 32-28-38. I received an incentive to write this review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this absolutely adorable olive green midi length dress in the size of extra large. It fit me perfectly! I typically wear the size extra large in dress and my measurements are 49–38–49. The quality is great and the price is fair I absolutely love this dress . I don’t like how it looks on the back of me, but I can wear something underneath to hide the excess bulge. I received an incentive to write this review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First, this really isn’t a maxi dress. I’d consider it midi length but I am also 5’10. I am wearing the medium and that is my typical size. It fit true to size. I didn’t really prefer the look on me. It is very lightweight and stretchy. I thought it elongated my torso. It is very comfortable, so maybe it will look better on other body types. It also has pockets which are great for summer dresses. I received an incentive to write this review.

Runs so small! The fabric is thin and doesn't hide anything

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This item runs true to size, I’m in my normal size large. However, I’ve had 3 C-sections, so I have a large stomach pouch, as well as wide hips and this dress doesn’t flatter these features. I love how modest and tight the top half of the dress is, which would be great for chasing kids, and the rouching on the torso is a flattering detail. The bottom half of the dress is flowy and airy. I love the olive green color! I received an incentive to write this review.

if your tall and slender and your size up this will work. I wear a size 8 and I sized up to a medium and could not get it on, it was so tight,

The dress is super soft and cute for spring. While the bust runs a smidge small, the cut of the dress is very flattering. I still purchased my normal size and it fit fine! I bought the pink.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the length and skirt of this dress, and I want to like the smocking on the top part, but it seemed to run fairly tight and wasn’t as stretchy and comfortable as I would expect. I am wearing a size medium which is my normal size, and it did fit me but the chest and waist area ran tight. This dress does have pockets which is a great feature, I do not like where the waistband hits though. I received an incentive to write this review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this dress by Universal Thread. The fabric is lightweight and soft, making it very comfortable. The skirt is loose and includes pockets. I am wearing my usual dress size small, and unfortunately found that the top of the dress was extremely tight. I almost had trouble pulling it over my head. The smocked section is not as stretchy as I expected. Once the dress was on, it was not too tight in the arms or neck so that was good. I would need to size up to a medium for a more comfortable fit. Overall a great dress once you get the sizing figured out. I received an incentive to write this review.

This dress I was thrilled to find a larger size that would fit me. I love that it has pockets and that I could purchase this in an XXL that would fit me. My only suggestion would be to make more colors. If I could have found other colors than the pink, I definately would have purchased more of these. Thank you Target. It took me a few purchases to get the sizing right for me, but I'm so happy I kept trying and found success.
