Button Up Best

This dress is where it’s at for a cute, put-together look with tennis shoes. It was great for a day in the office as well as a day in the city with my two young children. It has pockets, is great those with a larger chest and just falls right.

Cute and comfortable.

This was a great dress. I would recommend to size down. It is a little oversized. I was still able to make it work.

Sizing down is better but shorter

I sized down based on reviews and liked the fit but it was too short to wear to work so I put a skirt under it. Super cute though and got lots of compliments.

Runs a little short

Thought about buying but runs just a little short and can tell it's been rented and washed a lot. I'm 5'2 for reference and couldn't take full advantage of tightening it because of the length. Would've sizes down too but was worried it'd be too short.

Wore on a beach vacation as a cover up. Was a little baggy, but the center tie allows for adjustment. Very cute and would rent again for another trip!

Comfy and oversized!

Very cute dress, but I should have sized down to a small for this one. (You can adjust the waist with the drawstrings.) There just a lot of fabric and it wasn’t too flattering. That said, it was very comfy and perfect for walking around on spring break in Florida.

Mellow Yellow

This dress was a good length and very comfortable. I rolled the sleeves up for a more casual look, and tightened the drawstring as much as I could to accentuate my waist. Perfect for large chest.

Runs Large!

This dress runs large. I am in between the medium and large and got the large. There was a lot of extra fabric. I may have been able to even get away with a small. Overall, very cute dress for a casual day out. I wore it to an art museum exhibit with friends.

I thought it was cute ... then I saw the pictures

This dress was comfortable - runs way large. I thought I looked cute but then when I saw the photos I couldn't believe how large it made me look - it is so loose and boxy :-( I did get a lot of compliments but pictures don't lie!

Large & boxy

This dress is cute but way too big, even with the draw string cinched all the way. I ended up wearing it around the beach house but not in public.

This was great for warm weather but I’d recommend sizing down. It was quite large and I don’t think it flattered me.

The pic does not even begin to show how big this was. With out the waist strings tied as tight as possible this truly looks like a 2XL dress.

Great summer dress/cover-up

I really loved this shirt dress! It runs big overall, but the length of the medium worked for me. This would be a great beach cover-up or jus tan easy dress to throw on when running errands. Would consider buying if it wasn't quite so expensive.

want to keep!!

It is such an easy throw-on dress, I almost bought. But with summer coming to an end, this light weight piece went back. Every time I wore it I got so many compliments and felt so comfy!! The only reason i put this as "runs large" is because it is SO adjustable in the waist that you could probably size down if you wanted to use it as a shirt or shorter dress/cover up.

PERFECT summer or early fall dress

I wore this all the time! Loved wearing it to the office or just to run errands in even, it was that comfy! I could have sized down and gotten a small (I am usually a medium) but I like a relaxed fit. Got so many compliments!

Size down!!

It’s a shirt dress so it runs large! So easy and cute to wear. I wore it multiple times for everyday things/running errands and even as a coverup. Love the waist tie so you can choose how cinched you want it to be! Might end up buying because it’s so effortless and practical!
