Fits loose and lovely

I loved the feel of this dress. I wore it with boots and a jacket. So comfy. No need for a bra. Just a fun and free light piece. I bought it because I loved it

Breezy cute dress

Overall great little dress, comfy and I love the adjustable straps and slits. It is pretty shapeless but a belt or jacket helps

Loved this dress!!!

So cute & comfortable, you can dress it up or dress it down. It definitely does NOT give you much shape, but I liked how light & breezy it was. Big fan!

I bought this one!

It was so cute that I had to keep it for the price. I’ve worn it so much and it’s the perfect summer to fall transition piece!

Comfortable but flirty

Nice fit, fabric is on the heavier side, so it masks the very normal fluff I have on my hips. Slits are kind of high up on me, so for someone with long legs, there may be a bit of a show!

Loose fit, but still cute

I wore the size 12 and it was a loose relaxed fit like the photo. Could easily size down for more fitted look. It was super comfy and I didn't need a bra with the larger size so I wore it a bunch. It's a very casual look, can also throw a denim jacket over it if needed.

Perfect summer dress!

This was a great dress to throw on for any occasion! The fabric was not sheer but breathable so good for summer. The slits made it a little more fun and the adjustable straps ensured it was comfortable! May end up buying...

I LOVE this dress! It's sexy because of the slits on the side.

It fits loosely if you size up. Loved the fit!

great easy summer dress

Fit good. Was a little tight around my hips, but I'm all booty and legs. Shape wise, it really doesn't do much for any body type but it's a cute every day look and transitions easily from day to night with little effort. I wore it with white tennis shoes and a jean jacket and I also wore it with black booties, black leather jacket and a layered necklace.

Cute but straps are busted

This was such a cute every day slip dress for warm weather. I normally find them shapeless but this was not! My only complaint is the one I got had seen better days - the strap had been repaired at some point but basically made it no longer adjustable on one side and was too short

So Comfortable & Easy to Wear

Loved the side slits and and how flowy it was. Made me look a little boxy, wish it had a belt or something to synch my waste. But was a cute summer dress

A little shapeless, cute with denim jacket/accessories

Comfortable and cute but nothing to write home about. The slits are a good height. Overall a little shapeless but can be nice if styled well.

Was going to wear this dress to a dinner party

I didn't end up wearing this dress because it was catching on my hips and thighs which made the side slit hike up a little more than I was comfortable with. I think this would be really cute and causal on a very thin body but it didn't work with mine unfortunately.

Just okay

Runs a little big, not super impressed. Just a simple dress that doesn't give you any type of shape. Material is very comfortable though.

Dress has potential but the fit is really boxy. Not very flattering on but would be fine for a casual day

Fit is nice, but material is too clingy

This dress fit fine, but since the material is so clingy/thin it shows every imperfection on your body. I tried it with Spanx and it was better, but this isn't really the kind of dress you should need shape wear for.

Very Baggy

This dress ended up looking like a potato sack on me. Comfy, but probably better styled with a belt.

Not for the pear shaped

If you are pear shaped in anyway this is not the dress for you. Way too big in the chest, too small in the hips.
