Lightweight and Comfortable

I bought this dress, and it has been the perfect lightweight summer dress. It is thin, so I wore flesh colored Spanx under it, and it wasn't noticeable. The top part isn't tight enough for me to be comfortable enough not to wear a bra. The color is pretty and it has pockets.

gorg

i wore this once to a rehearsal dinner and then my friend borrowed it the next weekend for a wedding. we both loved it! was super comfortable. keep in mind the bottom part of the dress is one thin layer and in some lighting is slightly sheer. was fine with nude underwear.

Strangely needed a slip underneath. Great color. Cinched top. Summer fun. Water does show up on material.

Cute but sheer!

Such a cute dress, wore it for a bridal shower. As you can see in the photo, it's pretty transparent but I wore nude underwear and you couldn't see it.

This dress was beautiful. It's simple but has a sheen to it making it a little more dressy.

I loved this dress so much that I bought it. It’s forgiving, flattering, and pretty. Even though my tummy is huge (30cm), the XS still fits well.

Perfect summer dress

Light, flowy and easy to wear. This dress can take you anywhere - beach to cocktails, shopping to date night. Dress up with heels or down with flip flops. This is a super versatile dress that is perfect for hot weather.

Absolutely love

Light weight for the look of satin. The skirt is thin so wear skin color underwear but it’s perfect for outdoor nicer weddings.

Beautiful color, ok dress

I love the baby blue fabric of this dress, everything is else was just ok for me. The fabric itself wrinkles very quickly and the light color means it shows. I was neutral on the design of the dress, but I think the combo of the design + color reads pretty young/Disney princess, which I’m ambivalent about.

Early 2000s vibe, in a bad way. This just did nothing for me and flashed me back to regretful style and fit. TTS.
