Solid maxi a pockets

It was a tad tight on my shoulders but I’m a tall woman; loved that it had pockets and def a flair of elegance in what otherwise could be a frumpy mumu - still quite sexy

Loved this dress! A little big in the chest and stripes aren't adjustable but other than that a great choice.

Fav dress of the summer

I almost regret sending it back, I kept it for monthsss and wore this so many times. It's airy, the color is gorgeous, the back is ruched/elastic so it has give, and it's beautifully made. I am 5'2" and the dress skimmed the ground, so i always wore it with platform sandals. It came new w tags, also :)

Delightful

Distress was straightforward, comfortable and perfect for my vacation. I wish I had gotten a full length photo for this review, but this is what I was doing while wearing this dress if that’s helpful? Drinking iced coffee and reading while relaxing in a hammock chair. 😂

The Perfect Dress!

Easily dressed up or down, this dress was worn for all occasions. Definitely my favorite dress of summer. Has pockets, works as a maxi dress for short girlies, also pairs well either a kitten heel. The print is soft & neutral. Would work into the fall as well!
