For reference , I am petite but this could still be worn w flats for the beach/ pool. This could also be worn w nude colored undergarments for brunch. It will look amazing w a little tan! You can adjust for more coverage in back and there’s a snap in chest area. This is going in suitcase for EVERY warm weather trip...

this dress is awesome until it gets wet
I love this dress but the color bleeds. I took two photos (posted) when I first got it and put it on for first time use right out of the box it was shipped in. Washing instructions state hand wash separately in cold water, do not bleach, do not rub or wring, line dry, cool iron. Right as the fabric hit the cold water I could see the blue bleed into the white coloring. I rinsed it and lined dried it. I’m very disappointed. It is a ‘one time’ wear item. Also, the dress did not come with the tassels on the front and back strings. Only the back strings have a metal covering see attached photo.

honeymoon!!
5’10 & 150lbs. Loose in the top because I’m a 34B, but you can tie the top and adjust waist! So light and airy! Can’t wait to wear on my honeymoon

Fit didn't work for a larger chest either
Several other reviews said this was cute dress was cut large through the chest, which was a negative for them. As a 34DD, I have the opposite problem, so I ordered both the medium and small sizes, as finding something with decent coverage 'up top' is always a challenge. Unfortunately, this doesn't fit large breasted persons either, something is just off about the way the fabric falls, and the fit from the waist up was unflattering. I almost kept it to modify as a skirt -- it's that cute -- but ultimately sent it back. To help with sizing, the medium fit my curvy, 5'4" 146 lbs. shape and wasn't too long.

Light and airy
The dress is light and airy. Perfect for a tropical vacation which is what I bought it for. I normally take a Medium but it was sold out so I bought the small. It is very forgiving and fits fine.

Beautiful Cover Up
Love this cover up! Will be perfect for our trip to Mexico. I'm a size 14 and the L fit perfectly. If you didn't care about it being see through, you could wear a black bra/undies and it would look good also!
