The things I really like about this dress are, first of all, it looks great, the print is beautiful, I love the style, this dress is very flattering, and I also love that it has pockets, huge bonus for me. I am 5ft 2in, 137 lbs. 36-D bra size. I ordered this dress in a medium, it does fit and it looks great, but it is a little tight at the waist. I does fit me a lot better when I wear shape wear underneath. It looks like it fits perfect. A large may have been better for my size though, but I worry a large would look too big, and not as fitted (I don’t know because I haven’t tried the large). The dress is mid-calf length on me, which I think is perfect. This dress does have two downfalls for me, both of which I might not have if I had gotten the large instead of medium, but I once again, I don’t know because I have not tried it on in a large. The first is that it was very tricky to zip up, I could not zip it up myself, I had to get my spouse to zip it for me. The other downfall for me is that I do have slightly limited range of motion in my shoulders and upper arms in this dress, it does not fit me quite right in the underarm area, which does limit my arm movements a little. For the most part this is not a problem because most of the time I am going someplace that I need to be dressed nice, I don’t need to move my arms that much, but it would make it hard to hold a baby or toddler, or dance, and it also makes it so it would be hard for me to wear to work. I would say the quality of this dress is medium, it is not a super high quality fabric, but it is not low quality either. The fabric is thin, but not see through, and I have no complaints about the quality of fabric or the stitching. Overall, I am very pleased with this dress, it is beautiful, very flattering, and very good deal for the price.

I was shopping for a new dress for Easter and this one was perfect! It is made well, has a nice full skirt great for dancing. It is super comfortable; both the fabric and fit. It is elegant enough for any occasion. Highly recommend it.

The dress is well made and pretty but material fairly heavy. Zipper up back from below waist that wants to hang up on the waistband.

I should have read through all the reviews and remembered the fitting issues others had before getting this dress. One reviewer mentioned that she had to keep pulling it down to fit at the waist and that is exactly what I had an issue with. The color and print was very pretty and flattering, not too garish and it looked nice for the occasion I wore it to. It could very easily be worn to a wedding, dinner out, party or special occasion and it could also work in an office. But because I have a short waist, it didn’t fit as comfortably as I would have liked, I will probably not wear this as often as I’d hoped. But it’s a nice enough dress to keep and not return. I would consider getting a size up for a bit more room but worried it would be too big and fall off the shoulders, so the size was close. The pockets are a nice touch and certainly not common in dresses. I would say overall it is a good dress for the price and a good value but it really does have a few minor things that prevent me from wanting more than one color. Length of the dress was below the knee and I did like that. At least the way the dress is made it didn’t show the issues with not fitting the waist as it should.

*Important note on material per print *
*Note on this author: shopping for clothes is not my favorite activity. I put way too much energy into finding the right things so it can be one and done. I provide an obscene level of detail to hopefully help others like myself. The more info the better. *
Second dress purchased and this one was a great surprise.
I thought I’d be creating a whole new review for this specific dress but it appears as though it’s lumped with the last. *see below*
The first dress, the navy blue with hot pink/red flowers, is entirely different material than the deep teal with mustard yellow larger botanical print. The navy is a heavier synthetic. Not my favorite material for many reasons BUT it worked well for this dress so I was going to go with it again on the new dress. But alas! This dress is cotton! Which is perfect for warmer seasons. Light and breezy. Same silhouette but some differences… I will get it perfected at the alterations business up the road.
The back of the neckline is wicked high. The first dress was too but this is even more so. The arms are low and a titch tight. If I hadn’t found a great alteration team I’d have to return this beautiful dress. Sounds fancy but it’s a game changer. To keep to a budget, ask yourself if the dress is worth twice what you paid to have a piece that fits perfectly. For me it is as I don’t have many clothes and want the few I do wear to be comfortable. Buying an inexpensive piece is 90% of the dress and the other 10% is fine tuned to my body and taste. Plus, if the alterations are minimal the price is as well. I only say double because I’ve gone that far with a dress they all but had to remake with the material- bridal party business.
The cotton isn’t as stretchy as the polyester (or rayon? Something plastic.). They lined the torso on this lightweight cotton dress but not the arms or skirt. I will ask the seamstress to add a little something to the skirt to prevent sunlight illuminating my legs through the dress. Not tested but presumably accurate with the weight. The pattern is busy and the colors are fairly dark so it wouldn’t be a necessity I suppose.
Older post below update now:
Hello again several months later. I’ve worn the dress countless times. Washes great. I always use the hottest water despite folks insisting it’s unnecessary and harmful to the clothes. I have no issues and the high heat makes the clothes proper clean. I do line dry 100% of the time however. The electric dryer very much impacts many clothing items in an undesirable way.
Below I stated the material is not a sensory nightmare. For me this is true. For you it could be miserable. It’s not a dream. The heavier synthetic material is acceptable for the results which are: thick enough to smooth out bumps and warm enough to wear in colder weather. Very stretchy and robust.
Would recommend.
Hello fellow shopper,
From my lived experience there’s rarely a clothing item that feels so bespoke “off the rack”. So rare, I cannot recall the last time I had such an experience. We’re getting awfully close with this one. AND it’s from Amazon at a low price? Stop.
Quick facts about author: Demographic- 40’s Body type- Apple (all bust and belly) Dimensions- Height 5’2 (157cm) Weight 200 (90kg)
Fabric: Not too bad. Not too bad at all. Now, I haven’t field tested this dress. Only a try on. No washing experience… Material and seams aren’t a sensory nightmare. The material is synthetic feeling but not bothersome (hot humid might be a problem- when isn’t it?). Stretchy material gives “freedom with structure” vibes. We shall see. You know how things can get floppy. I would be surprised if that was the case here but maybe. Weight is medium. Swingy not clingy. Twirl 8.5/10.
Silhouette: Fit and flare adds “shape” to the “shapeless”. The shoulder has personality that brings balance. The neckline is Goldilocks sweet- not too high or low, not too wide or tight. Waist is defined and the skirt flows out beautifully. For my body everything lines up right.
Reception: Mirror told me I was the fairest of them all. Husband said I looked like a Mennonite. I thought he’d go more mid-century retro housewife, but I get it. *Modest fashion approved!*
Last notes: • Pockets are indeed present and adequate. • I slipped it on over my head with no need to fuss about the zipper. • What would I get altered? The sleeve openings and possibly the length. I am debating. My forearms aren’t particularly robust compared to other bits. These sleeves are generous below the elbow. As mentioned in my “about me” section above, I’m 5’2. The dress lands about mid-calf. I could see taking it up to just below the knee.
Important disclosure: The color and pattern might have me hypnotized. Is dark navy with reddish-pink pattern the real star here? Would this dress in a solid light color be nearly as magical? I suspect it would not. If money and time were of no consideration I could try on other patterns and let you know with more certainty. Gut instinct tells me this particular pattern is “it”. Hence my selection. To each their own! For me, the color/print combo were the most put-together and flattering. Upon arrival I was not disappointed in the least. If anything, I instantly wanted to buy a whole wardrobe of this dress 🙂 Off to research other patterns and similar dresses by this brand.
Good luck on your shopping journey.
Ps- I do NOT like shopping and wish clothes just appeared as they do for my family 😉

Very nice! Very comfortable. Nice stretch to the fabric. Soft pastel colors. Love the pockets! Looking forward to wearing it to a late spring wedding. Nice fit. I’m 5’1”, 134 pounds, 36C, wearing a size medium. I’m 70 years old so appreciate the longer length and the 3/4 length sleeves! Also added a thin beige belt to add definition to my waist.

This dress is beautiful. I did have to return it and reorder in a smaller size. The smaller size fits perfect, so comfortable, made me feel pretty. The material is very nice and it is well made. I am only 4 ft.11 and needed a cocktail type dress so this dress was perfect, not to long and not to short. I plan to order more of this brand in different designs.
