Love this dress! Bought it in 3 colors!
This dress is light enough for a hot summer. So comfortable and reasonably priced I bought 3 colors. Love them.

Not good
This dress fit weird. I ordered a medium (I will order Smalls or Mediums in dresses, depending on the fit). The straps on top were too big and falling off. The bottom in the tummy area was a little uncomfortable, as there was not much stretch in the dress. Not worth 50 dollars

dress is model that fits women who have a waist
My body type is 5.6 -184 lbs, I am curvy, but have slimmer waist. I
Read reviews after I made purchase. Suggested size was 10 -L for me, as it is my size usually in dressed. I love the material of this dress for summer and Navy color makes everyone slimmer. Waist part is more tight but it's meant to be lifter more
Up not bellow the torso.
It's strange they put dresses on slim
Models, so normal curvy women cannot compare them. I needed this dress to cover my stinger legs. This dress top part would not fit someone who don't have bigger boobs, top shoulder part is big lose and falling off . For me this is ok . again If You are taller and curvy this is best dress for You . If You are slimmer , or short and curvy this is not dres for You

Great for long torsos
I bought this thinking the material would make it great to wear in super hot weather. It is but the straps are insanely long if you’re evenly proportioned. Nordstrom quoted me $50 to have the straps shortened so this was returned. It’s a shame since it fit great everywhere else and would’ve been perfect for more humid days. Would not recommend unless you have a longer torso or will get the straps adjusted.

Waist is vert tight
The overall look is very cute, however the elastic of the waist is very tight. I tried both a M and a L, and the waist fit the same on both. The L also unfortunately had very long straps. The fit on these dresses is very poor.

runs small but incredibly comfy in hot weather
Like others, I also found this dress to run small. I usually wear a medium, had to buy a large, and then shorten the straps for a proper fit. It was worth it to me to do this since I live in hot, humid south Florida and this dress is incredibly cool and comfortable in the heat. It’s easy to wear and comfortable all day. I will probably buy another one in a different color.
