Cute and flowy!

It’s a little extra with the sleeves but I think it’s fun and am gonna wear it for sure at least once! I like that I can wear a regular bra with it and it just feels fun

Got compliments!

Love the print, love the fabric (linen/cotton combo), loose fitting, and beautiful. My friend said she wanted it and complemented how high-end it looked. I like that the fabric wasn’t too flimsy, it was a great end-of-summer piece. I wore it on LDW in NYC.

Great Post Partum/Nursing Dress!

I’m 6 months post partum and not quite ready for tight fitting clothes, but still want to look cute! Great for nursing mothers too with the V cut

Dinner with the girls

I liked the oversized look of this Marie Oliver rental. All about the fun pattern and the relaxed style with this dress. I rented the small and might have even been able to do an XS. Waist is elastic and the dress is super roomy. The V is quite low, but has a hook and eye closure if you don’t want that look. I preferred it open but definitely needed to wear a lower cut bra. I love the thick linen/cotton material… as usual, the dress benefitted from a quick iron before wearing.

Cute swing dress

I felt very girly in this. It was bright and had tons of fabric swinging about.

Baggy, not much shape.

Very oversized fit. Could have probably sized down to the xs but then it probably would have been too short. Loved the colors. Slit at the neck is a little low so definitely had to keep it fastened.

Beautiful dress but runs big.

I loved the colors and it was comfortable. It's just not very flattering.

Fun and different

I wore this many times to different settings and received so many compliments! Material was high quality and the pattern is fun. I wore a belt to help add some shape since it was baggy at bottom but with a gold belt it was perfect and comfortable!

Love this dress! So cute on. Loose fitting but not sack looking.

I love this dress! I would buy it if the price was lower. Easy to throw on and go and appropriate for many different occasions. Perfect vacation dress!

So cute! Wish it had pockets

Very cute dress. Wore to work and on a date night. Light weight, which is great for Florida. Great length on me, but I could see anyone taller having an issue with the hemline being a little short.

I hated it at first because the arm holes were so loose you could see my entire bra. But then I belted it and it was amazing!

Great colors!

Great lightweight material and fun pattern. It is a bit on the shorter side, but fine for summer. It was also a bit baggy, could’ve sized down.

It's a cute dress, but the fabric is thick, and the cut on the side is too open, so your bra will show

Nonbreathable Fabric & Really Boxy

This dress was nothing like I expected. The pattern was a little out there for me, and the sizing was way off. As others mentioned, it was cut very low, would have had to wear something under it if wearing for an occasion, and the arm holes are strange because they clearly show your bra. On the other hand, the neck and sleeves were kind of tight with the elastic. It was a really boxy, shapeless dress and very short so have to be careful moving around in it. But the worst part was that the fabric was really heavy, itchy, not breathable at all. It wasn't even that hot and I was dying in it. Definitely not a summer dress. I wouldn't waste a spot on it.
