Perfect Summer Dress

I just loved this. I could have probably gotten a smaller size but it still looks great. I'm definitely buying this dress.

So cute for a hot Summer day

I almost bought this one, but I rented it towards end of Summer so I passed bc I wouldn’t get much more use out of it (this year at least). Loved it as an easy throw while looking somewhat put together on a hot day!

Perfect causal dress!

Loved this for a baseball game! So comfortable and cute. Ended up keeping for the whole month. I saw reviews about this being really low cut but I thought it was the perfect as someone with a large bust

Breathable Comfy Casual

I loved this dress and rented it multiple times. It is good for the heat because it doesn't stick to your body and is long enough that when you sit your legs don't touch the seat. I wore this to work a few times and around town whenever I needed something to throw on to run errands. Very versatile piece.

Casual, comfortable, a nicer-looking errand-running outfit

This looked a lot more casual on me than I had expected. I wound up pairing it with black bike shorts and flip flops and really liked the look for just bopping around and doing errands. It didn't feel fancy enough for me to wear to work, especially with the length being quite short on me. As others mentioned, the neckline was pretty low -- I had to fashion tape it closed by an addition 2-3" or so. It DID work well with a big bust, and was bra friendly once I used the fashion tape, which is a big plus for me. No stretch at the underbust seam, so I wouldn't attempt to size down, but true to size in my opinion. It was a lot shorter looking on me than the other reviewers -- it really felt more like a tunic than a dress to me. Does wrinkle fairly easily. All that being said, I really liked it! It made me feel chic and put together despite just running mundane errands. :)

Baggy but not bad

The narrow part of the dress hit well above the waist, so it runs the risk of looking tent-like. But I’d say the thicker fabric gave enough structure to save it. The fit was roomy on me, but that seems the design? And there’s no stretch so sizing down would be a risk. Deep enough V that I had to pin it to keep my bra from showing.

Great dress, but short

The fit is as expected, I like how roomy it is for the summer heat. I did have to wear shorts underneath just in case

Loved this for class and work! It’s cut kinda low so I used a safety pin but besides that very work appropriate.

Cute and flowy dress

Fit well, it's obviously very flowy and I do wish I sized down to an XS because it isn't fitted under the bust so has a bit of a tent effect. Still wore multiple times as it was cute to style and great for the beach and hot weather!

Perfect summer dress

I loved this dress and may end up buying it. I have larger breast so I was worried about the fit. It fit perfect. It was cool and airy. If there is a negative it would be that it easily wrinkles. But other than that great fit love the dress.

Don’t want to think about what to wear for the daytime errands and outings, this is it. This dress, sandals or white sneakers and out the door. Neck is low, but I liked that.

Might buy this

This could be my go-to warm weather day dress. Comfortable and cool. I'm only on the fence because I'm considering how to accessorize. Neckline falls a little strangely, but feels intentional and unique compared to run-of-the-mill dresses.

Size up if you have a bosom. The fabric is not forgiving. I was sadly unable to wear it because of this issue because it’s otherwise cute for warm weather!
