Grew on me

It wasn’t love at first try but it easily grew on me. It is a looser fit and has an abundance of material but I think that was the designer’s intention based on the model photos. You can certainly size down for a tighter fit. Perfect summer vibrance. Immediate compliments.

Comfortable, cute, and so many compliments!

This is a-line without a belt, but a belt makes it a cute and flirty shape. You can wear it with any color belt. I likes it with little black booties and a green belt. Cute with a little jacket, too. I wore it to work, to lunch and out in New Orleans with girlfriends. It can be dressed up or dressed down!

Just an excellent summer sundress. Lightweight but not see-thru. Breezy and cute. Loved wearing this easy, casual dress.

Nice summer dress

Can dress up or down. Runs a bit large and as others noted it’s a bit tight around the neck but still enjoyed wearing.

Cute but size down

I am somewhere between a small and medium depending on the brand. I could have easily gone extra small here. Super cute dress - nice detail and really easy to wear.

Size down!

Darling dress. I’m a S/M and ordered the XS and it was still loose! I used a belt to give it more shape on my hourglass frame. Has pockets, beautiful black detailing, elegant. Fun sleeve frill.

Effortless Style: A Chic & Comfortable Weekend Dress

This dress is very comfortable and stylish, perfect for a weekend outing or semi-formal events. If you plan to take it on a trip, keep in mind that it wrinkles a bit, so you may need to iron it before wearing. Nonetheless, it’s a great choice for a relaxed yet elegant look!

Cute dress with pockets!

Loved this dress. Wore with sandals and sneakers. I don’t like stuff touching my neck so that was a little annoying. It’s a little see through.

Runs big

I’m typically a 12 and got the XL, which was too big. It wasn’t unwearable though. This dress is very nicely made, with a thick cotton. The skirt has a slip layer and the fabric is thick enough that it is not terribly see through.

Nice quality with a soft lining in the skirt. Zip up back. Lots of volume to the skirt. Hands in pockets helped to trim the profile.

Easy dress for vacation

Thought this ran large in the waist and hips giving a bit of a tent look. I would consider sizing down if you’re not worried about the chest area. Was cute and comfortable otherwise! Bottom is lined so don’t have to worry about it being see through

Luxe detailing, A-line and a bit tent-like without a belt

Pros: came new with tags :), the detailing is absolutely lovely, crisp, and eye catching. Extremely comfortable. Cons: this type of high-neck A-line dress turns real tentlike fast on me, especially since I have a large bust. I felt it looked better once I added a belt to give it a bit of shape. Also: Pockets!

Gigantic!

Size down as far as you can. This was an XS and still plenty of room. It was a breezy dress for a summer weekend. The fabric is structured but still flowy. Built in slip. Zipper back. Black flower detail is very pretty. Dress is well made.

Cute Day Dress

Very pretty and classy. You can see the quality in the dress in the details - like the shoulder ruffles that are cut to have the most texture possible. It's a little transparent so I recommend nude undergarments.

Sea really does nail it.

For sure size down as other reviewers mentioned. The bottom is lined but not the top. Flows and fun. The black appliqué is reminiscent of butterfly wings. It has pockets. Fell above the knee on me.

Sea New York Hit a Home Run!

I love, love, love the Laila embroidered dress from Sea New York. I wore this piece to brunch over Labor Day weekend. Its length is perfect for girls of average height (I'm 5'6", and it hit slightly above my knee). The dress' cut is boxy, so you can size down if you want a slimmer fit. The only criticism I would give Sea New York is that the fabric is not forgiving in the summer--walking home with groceries after brunch led to some unflattering markings on the dress (the fabric is not sweat-friendly). Other than that, no complaints. I would rent again! Maybe not in August, though.

Love it!

Classic and easy to wear. With pockets! It’s not a pure white, a bit more of an ivory with black lace.
