Pretty summer dress

Easy, comfortable, great fabric. I didn’t even need to wear a bra and I have a large chest. Anytime I can free the girls…it’s a win!

Battled the sleeves all day

Maybe I just needed to ordered a 10, but I'm between a 12 and 14 right now. The shoulders would not stay up, and it was a lot of material at the hips. Fine for vacation, but I wouldn't reorder.

Easy Breezy summer dress

True to size and very stretchy. This would be perfect for maternity or if you are in between sizes. I wore this at night with a jean jacket and during the day with sandless at the beach. Very versatile.

Ordered my usual Madewell size and it fit great. You may want to consider wearing a strapless bra

Airy, comfortable, secret pockets, nice print - sleeves could sit better but overall great.

Picnic dress

Wore this to a family reunion where it was very hot. Kept me cool and looked expensive compared to the shorts the family was wearing .

Comfortable, true to size, and just overall stunning

Have a strapless bra ready— the sleeves fit a little off the shoulder. Absolutely perfect all around. Considering buying this piece lol

Sleeves kept falling down

I liked this dress so much, except that the sleeves kept falling off my shoulders. It would have been better with a strapless bra. The dress I got was brand new and loved the fabric!

Sleeves are Loose

Loved wearing this dress, until I sat down. The sleeves constantly fell off my shoulders. You also have to be very careful with the type of bra you are wearing as the square neck is pretty wide. It was very comfortable and flattering, as long as I was standing.
