Beautiful comfortable dress with pockets for a wedding shower

I loved wearing this dress for a spring wedding shower. The drawstring waistband gave it shape. And pockets!! As others have said, the sleeve openings fall at an odd spot for my body type (right above the elbow) and were a little tight, but this dress still gets 5 stars.

Go from the pool to the office and collect compliments

So I’m a sucker for a shirtdress and this could be one of my favorites. Casually chic and cool this dress is nothing but comfortable. There are beautiful details like the tuxedo pleats down the front. The gentle tie-waist compliments a figure. The light-puff sleeves have a button detail at the cuff. The material is both whisper-soft and slightly crisp and completely breathable which makes it perfect for summer. Even the print is beautiful, featuring hibiscus, parrots and butterflies - the dress looks and feels like summer. I wore to the office, to the pool, to run errands and even a barbecue. It was a hit everywhere and I was comfortable. The pockets are deep and well placed. This dress will work on a variety of complexions and body types. Fit it true to size. You could order-up for a slightly oversized look you tame by pulling in on the waist.

Great summer dress!

The only complaint about this dress is that you have to leave the sleeves unbuttoned or they are way too tight. It works fine to leave them unbuttoned and the dress is very comfortable and super cute. I got lots of compliments.

Easy, breezy dress with the prettiest print

I love almost everything this designer does! The color combination - pinks, soft reds and pinky-reds - was pretty and I don’t see those colors together very often. The print is tropical but still sophisticated. It is a style (shirt dress with a drawstring) that should work for a lot of people. Although it has long sleeves, the fabric is so lightweight it was comfortable on a warm and humid late summer evening. It is also lined and not see-through. I’m 5’2”, and I tend to prefer my dresses right about knee length, and this worked really well for me. I wore my usual size in this brand (S); the cut is forgiving enough I probably could have worn a size smaller if the small wasn’t available but I was happy with S.

Casual work dress

Wrote this to a team offsite. Good casual pattern and color. Good length. Lightweight summery fabric. Good chest coverage. Only complaint is that the front fabric puffed out a bit, making you look like you had a stomach. Good to cover up a bump you might not want to show though.

Very light & sheer - but it has pockets!

Super lightweight & perfect for a hot day (though be warned, even though it’s lined, it’s still very sheer). The size recommended for me was either a L or XL but only XL was available. It was definitely too big, so I would suggest getting your normal size. The tie at the waist was super high on me (I have a long torso) so it felt a bit awkward because it was nowhere near my natural waist - it would probably work well for maternity though! The sleeves don’t have any elastic - they were not tight at all (thankfully!) but they fall right at the elbow so there’s a constant reminder there’s something around your arm with zero give. It has pockets! And would be cute for a pool or beach party or just staying cool without being too exposed to the sun.

Gorgeous color!

I didn’t love this dress when it arrived but I got so many compliments on the colors and pattern. Very light weight with a drawstring waist which was great since the medium was too big on me and needed to be cinched in. Don’t size up on this dress and grab it is you won’t a comfortable dress to wear throughout the day.

Wouldn't wear for anything more serious than a casual pool day or beach lunch. For this specific dress, couldn't get the waist tie undone so it was a little uncomfy on and off but still cute to wear
