Wish I had bought it

I loved this one. The details were so cute in the skirt and the smocked top was very supportive. Great for large busts.

Iconic

Rent it. It’s amazing. OMG. Be prepared to steam or iron. And tie the bows in the back. Spin it around when it’s on to tie them and then spin it back around and pull the ties back on.

Loved it!

Loved this dress for a nice dinner on vacation. You will need some help with the bow ties on the straps but it was extremely comfortable. The little peek a boo section in the legs give a cute detail.

Cute picnic dress

Very comfortable. The skirt part of the dress does bell out a bit as some have pointed out. Stiffer material but I liked that it was a bit more structured. And the see through part was so cute.

Cute comfy dress

This dress was great for a dinner on vacation! As others mentioned, the straps are a bit weird / need to be tied cutely and the dress is a bit heavy. But I think the material of the skirt makes it feel more luxurious, it didn’t make me hot or anything. I really love the cut outs at the bottom of the skirt. It is long but not too long in my opinion!

Cute but annoying straps

Anybody else hate a strap you have to tie yourself and then you’re just pissed the bows aren’t identical?! Aside from that, a super cute and comfortable summer dress. The perfect *bumb* accessory!

Great vacation dress

Pros: I really liked this dress. It worked perfectly for vacation—minimal wrinkling even after packing and repacking it a few times. It was breathable and I didn’t have to wear a bra. Cons: The straps fell down a few times during the day. I would probably size up to S in the future because the chest was a bit tight.

Fun and flattering

Loved this dress. I’m usually a small but went with XS and it fit really well. Didn’t need a bra because the bodice was very supportive. The straps need to be knotted or tied in a bow and that was a bit tricky—I couldn’t ever get the right look on top of my shoulders. But I really liked the dress on the whole and the eyelet details in the skirt are very pretty and flattering.

This dress grew on me. It was a bit stiff at first and tricky to get the straps just right, but once I did, it was a show stopper. I received lots of compliments!

Cute, but it has issues

As others have noted, the straps are a pain - they’re just too long and should be ironed if you want them to look good. I was prepared to deal with the straps and I liked how you could adjust the dress with how tight or loose you tied the straps, but the deal-breaker for me was the top. Others said that the top was supportive for large busted women, but I felt like it made my bust into a tubular shape which was not flattering. Otherwise it is a nice dress.

Comfortable, flattering, and perfect for many occasions

I wore this dress so many times through the summer - to work events, lunch and dinner dates, family affairs... it can be dressed up or down and is so very comfortable. The open stitching at the bottom is a wonderful accent and the stretchy top and tie-yourself straps make it easy to wear. Considered purchasing to keep but returned as the weather is getting colder.

Impact sundress

I really liked this sundress. The white piping on top of the black and the cut outs on the skirt gave this something special. I mostly wore this out to lunch/dinner but it would be a good summer outdoor cocktail party dress as well. I got a lot of compliments.

Super cute and flattering!

This is true to size. Straps are adjustable, but the bodice is fitted (stretchy, not zip), so you technically don't even need it. Could be worn strapless or as a halter if you wanted. The skirt is full, and super fun to wear. Perfect for a hot summer evening dinner.
