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.

Soft and comfortable summer dress

4 out of 5 stars
soziedancemom13 - 13 days ago
[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.

smocked dress - 13 days ago, Verified purchaser
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.

I wanted to like this so much but it was a return x2. First bought in my normal size and was too small. Sized up and it fit better, but was too long at the waist and in the skirt length.

Very cute dress! The top part runs small. I usually wear an XS but got a small in this because the top part runs tight (and I'm very small chested). Love both the pink and olive color and the pockets!

I love this pink midi dress, i was at first a bit disappointed as whomever packed the box stuffed it on with household items and it was a knotted mess. I steamed it, and after trying it on I was really pleased and plan on getting the Olive dress as well. I did size up to a large so it would be less tight on my bust .

I am a size 10 and bigger on top. I would have needed a large but it made me look wide on the bottom part of my body. Cute idea and comfortable dress but not flattering.

Maybe best for longer torso people

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's a cute dress but definitely not flattering on me or my shape in the slightest. I wear a size Large and that is the size I bought, but I think the top part was so fitted that it was too tight. Although that's part of the style of the dress. I do like how the bottom of the dress was comfortable and has pockets. It's a nice casual dress but I think you need to with be skinny or have a longer torso for it to look right.

Smocked knit a-line maxi dress

1 out of 5 stars
sozieannebrader - 21 days ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This dress fit so awful, and was extremely unflattering to wear. It was restrictive up top, even though the material was soft the stretch was minimal, and the neckline was quite uncomfortable. I wore a size XS, but I had also tried on a few other sizes to see if there was any improvement and even the larger sizes fit awkwardly. It made my bust look way larger than it actually is (in a bad way) and definitely highlighted the stomach area unpleasantly. I received an incentive to write this review.

Womens Green Knit Maxi A-Line Dress

sozienataliesue - 24 days ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cute green dress is adorable for spring! The detail scrunch on the top is cute but not as stretchy or giving as I had hoped it would be. I am 5’4 and 125 ish pounds and I typically wear an extra small in this brand however I think I will probably need to size up to a small. The dress has pockets ladies!! Pockets are always a huge plus to any outfit! The length is great! Overall great product. I received an incentive to write this review.

Length is perfect but not friendly on bustier or curvy people up top. I purchased my usual XL and appeared to stretched out on the top and lost the crinkled appearance of the dress. Definitely cute but you need to try on in store for sure 💕
