Beautiful dress, not quite right for my body type

I have the Madewell Kaya dress in green and purchased this dress thinking it was the same style, however it is not (I think this one is called the Vayra dress). It is a beautiful, high quality dress however the fit didn’t work for me as well as the Kaya dress. The smocked waistband on this dress is quite wide, which doesn’t really work for my body type (hourglass, short torso) - where the smocking ends and the skirt begins hits at high hip for me which is an awkward fit. Would definitely be very flattering on someone with a longer torso!

not for hips

The waist is great however if you have hips the material makes your hips seem big. It was returned.

Sizing in larger sizes

The sizing between the XL and XXL is a huge difference. I was drowning in the XXL, so I returned it for an XL and it’s a little snug in the waist.

so flattering and comfortable

This dress is adorable. Lightweight and comfortable while being flattering and polished. The entire midsection is smocked which is hard to see from pics. Highly recommend

So flattering

I am tall with a bit of a belly and broad shoulders. Long torso. This dress makes me look 10 pounds light and totally amazing. I love it! Not too lightweight, and not too heavy. I wear a large in dresses and tops and the large was perfect.

Cute for summer and day to night

This dress is perfect for a casual summer day or to dress up for night. In the extreme heat (90+) it was comfortable and breezy. Oh and it looks adorable riding a bike!
