The quality of this dress
The quality of this dress is so good. The fabric feels nice and it's not itchy. It also fits great and the straps are adjustable. I love this dress so much and I plan on wearing it on every vacation.

It takes two
Trying to get this on and the straps tied in back to make it look takes four hands. I like the dress a lot and I spent about an hour trying to get this to look the way it does in the picture. I got it to look great in front but I just could not get the back adjusted to look right, and the mid back at the zipper would not look flat once I get the straps tied. I’ll try again when I have some help with the back closure tomorrow, but I think I might have to send it back. Beautiful material and style.

It is a great dress!
It is a great dress! So stunning and very soft, however if you are on the smaller size I would definitely recommend sizing down because normally I am a 0 and that's the size I got but it fit just slightly too big but hardly noticeable because like I said it's a stunning dress. If you are tall and skinny and you are looking for a long dress that will go all the way down this might not be it because I am 5'5 and with a size 0 it went to about the middle of my shins maybe a little lower.

Beautiful dress, but...
Beautiful, classic and well made, but not a great fit for me. The top was too big for me and was unable to tie straps in the back without assistance. Will be returning it.

Fabric was really nice as
Fabric was really nice as well as the sizing honestly true to size and loved the material. I also liked how it’s perfect length it’s not touching the floor a dragging it perfectly covers your ankles. I recommend buying this dress asap it’s nice for any occasion.

This is the perfect basic
This is the perfect basic dress for grad. It is ankle length (5’2), so it can come across as bridal; it’s still a nice dress. The back detail is also perfect for making a more snatched look without the pain of a corset. Also, as someone who typically wears a US 4, the sizing is pretty true to size! So order your usual size!
