Pink Picnic perfection

This dress is stunning and perfect for an outdoor event. The fabric is lightweight taffeta, and you can see through it in the right light. I wore this to a dinner event in Florence at a winery, and it was perfect. The print and the fabric brought out my inner childhood girly girl.

I wish this wasn’t so expensive because I would have bought this I was so obsessed and so many compliments can be dressed up with heels or down with flats. Perfect material too very cool.!

Lovely—halter, gingham!

Love the beautiful taffeta and gingham. I wish it were a more casual length and material but otherwise very beautiful dress. Not too revealing on top and no bra needed. It’s really more appropriate for a younger girl and I just honestly didn’t have anywhere to wear it, but wish I had! I’m 28 inches in natural waste just FYI, and it fit perfectly.

It wasn't as vibrant of a pink color as I was looking for. Not as flattering for bigger chest sizes IMO!

Little Bo Peep

My sister said I looked like a little girl in this dress but I still liked it. The fabric is dressier than expected which made it difficult to wear out since the pattern is more of a daytime look. I wore it to an early dinner at a fancy restaurant.

Perfect for a spring daytime event

The quality of this dress is incredible! Does not wrinkle, as comfortable as athletic wear. Wore with kitten heels for a spring tea event and changed to sneakers to dress down for a masters party - so many compliments at both! Postpartum and was loose in the right places for me but definitely ran big

Size down!

BEAUTIFUL dress…way dressier than I thought but I was going to wear it anyway. Sadly it was too big in the waist (by several inches). I tried to make it work but it was gaping open at my back. Fabric is almost like an old school taffeta so not as casual as I’d imagined. Still beautiful!

Not for daily wear

The dress is very pretty, but the fabric is a bit dressy for daytime wear. There’s a lot of material which is lightweight but the skirt could be overwhelming to shorter or short-waisted women.

Too big could not wear

Go down a size or two. I love this designer and was very excited but I was not able to wear it.
