Obsessed

Love this dress so much! Nice, thicker material keeps its shape but doesn't make you too hot. I did have to wear a strapless bra which is my only complaint. Did I mention it has pockets!?

Great summer day dress

I didn’t realize the early AM mirror selfie with eye patches would be my only pic in this dress so blocking my face, but this dress was perfect for an all day backyard bbq/pool party situation! Surprisingly this neckline and smocking was really flattering (not always the case for D cups!) After reading the previous review, I wore a less-tight strapless bra that I was able to line up with the lower cut under arms and it didn’t show. RTR recommended an L but I may might try the M next time because I might have preferred the dress hitting a little closer to my waist.

Comfy and flattering

Cute dress. Dressed down with white sneakers, but could also do sandals or heels. Showed a little more side boob than I liked, but paired well with a denim jacket. Fit true to size.

Pockets!

It's such a cute dress and easy wear, I almost bought it bc it's affordable Madewell. But these fit types are tough with the big boobs, this one nearly worked but I still felt it widened me a bit. For more narrow torsos be oh so good and i will likely seek it again still in spring.

Strange for under the arms

Didn’t wear this. The cut under the arms was so low, it felt like all of the emphasis was on my armpits. Not the summery vibe I was going for.

Great summer dress

Very flattering fit but the smocking pulled tight across the front and armpits run deep. This caused a side boob situation and I was pulling it up all day. Thick smocking though so I didn’t have to wear a bra, which I loved.

Cute summertime dress

I considered buying this dress. There’s a lot of side boob if you’re busty just because it’s cut low near the armpits, but otherwise an adorable, summer dress with pockets!

Narrow across the chest which is fine for me but could be a sideboob problem for others

Great comfortable casual travel dress

Packed well (no need to iron). very comfortable. Heavier material so not sheer, but also not too hot in 90 degree weather. Loved the pockets. Petite friendly.

The chest is stretchy and the straps are adjustable. I fit dresses 4-6 and it was very comfortable in a S and could expand for larger chests.

Super cute dress

Super cute linen dress. Wore it for a casual errand day on hot TX summer day (95 degrees). It looks like it would wrinkle easily but surprisingly, it does not. Hubby said it looked like a prairie dress but cute. Ha!! Would rent again!

Super cute and comfy!

I wore this dress with a sweater to work. I couldn't wear without a sweater because of the cut and my bra showing. It was very comfortable to wear all day. Really enjoyed this one.
