Great beach cover-up

Love this dress, it's the perfect beach cover-up. I find I can only wear it with a bathing suit under because it's hard to wear a bra with since the sides are low cut. I went down a size because it ran a little big.

Not a good look

This shape of this dress is really unflattering. The top is so tight that the stripes get distorted, but the skirt is so huge that it swallows me. It's also more of a maxi dress than a midi dress. Something about the material gives this dress a vague pioneer-like vibe; it made me look like a rustic prairie woman. The seam where the top meets the skirt is in a weird place, so it sticks out a lot and made me look pregnant. The sleeves also look pretty ridiculous.

Awkward fit

It has an awkward fit and is definitely made for women with a flat chest, otherwise there's a lot of side boobage happening.

Too much fabric

Looks small and slimming on model. I ordered XS. I swam in it. I’m 102 lbs athletic build.also didn’t like the ruffle on shoulder. Looks good here but weird in person. Returned.

See thru!!

I’m not super conservative but this dress does give some serious side-boob... and the ivory color is completely sheer. I bought this dress to be able to wear without a bra but it’s impossible to unless you’re interested in wearing something underneath, and the cut makes that difficult to do unless you want that piece to be visible. Not my favorite.

Ooooookay dress

It was OKAY. And it’s longer than a midi dress. More like a maxi dress. I’m 5’9 so if it’s long on me than I know shorter people will have an issue.
