Flattering and easy for fall and spring
I love finding a comfortable dress because it's so easy to slip on w/ tennies or sandals and go. No worries about matching bottoms and tops. This dress does exactly that. It's a little longer than what Nordstrom calls mini (I'm 5'7" and it falls about where it does on the model in the photo, a few inches above the knee) The material is heavier, so the dress doesn't fly up with the wind. Imho, this dress works better for fall and spring than summer because it is a heavier, sweatshirt material. It runs large like all Tommy Bahama clothes, so I went down one size to an xs. The tapered fit makes it flattering. It is not a tent dress that requires a belt!

Very disappointed in size small!
I was disappointed in this. I have this dress in two other colors. They are size small. This pink one is much smaller than my navy & green one. Of course it was a final sale so I thought I was safe knowing I owned two other ones.

Cute Style
I loved the color of this dress (blue) and the style. However, I am surprised and disappointed that the fabric is so thick and heavy for a summer dress! I would have given it 5 stars if the fabric was lighter weight. When I say heavy.....I mean really heavy! I kept it but ended up not packing it for my vacation in Florida because I knew it would be too hot. For reference, I am 36D. Most people don't list their bust size and I find it helpful! I hope Tommy Bahama comes out with a lighter weight version of this dress.

Brand Sizing has changed
I have bought Tommy Bahama dresses for 10 years. My size hasn't changed, but the brand has changed its sizing. What used to fit me perfectly is now too big. It's disappointing, since I like the style and brand. I don't want to alter new apparel, so I doubt I will purchase Tommy Bahama in the future.

MATERIAL VERY THICK
Material is VERY thick. Which is a little odd considering it’s a short sleeve, short dress. You wouldn’t want to wear this in the summer. It would be too warm, unless you are very cold natured. If you look at the picture, you can see the band at the bottom it’s even thicker than the dress, and in my opinion stands out, in a bad way, like a wide sweatshirt band.

Not as appears in picture:(
This dress is not sleeveless it has cap sleeves. Heavy and thick material. The color is OK, and I know Tommy Bahama runs large so an extra small fit perfectly but this is not what it was in the picture. So disappointing and I think unusual for Nordstrom‘s. I tried to upload a photo but that was a No go
