Tie Neck Tiered Cotton Maxi Dress

I was so surprised that everything about this dress says to size down. I size down and it did not fit! I’m a large so I bought a medium. It was so tight in the bust. It was also tight in the armpits. It fit like a medium. Not sure why they say to size down. Plus it’s cotton. I am returning and ordering a large and hope it fits.

I often flip between medium and large, depending on the bust as I’m a 34G. The medium fits perfectly. So soft, still has shape despite being a maxi dress. I will say it looked completely transparent when I took it out of the box so I’m not sure how it’s going to fare on a sunny day but keeping it regardless because it will be heavenly for hot and humid evening events. I might try a petite as I’m only 5’3”.

I really wanted to love this dress, but couldn't. The fabric wasn't soft like I expected and it didn't fall/lay like I expected.

Love this dress. My only criticism is that it has no pockets! But seriously, I was actually surprised to like it as much as I do. The fit of the bodice is superb, neckline doesn’t shift around like so many of the clothes I try on do. It flares out past the bust line but not too much like so many of this season’s maxi and midi dresses do. (They’re so voluminous you’re swimming in them!) The length I might’ve liked to be just a tad bit shorter but I’m not tripping on it. I will probably wear wedges with it anyway. I did try belting it with a cute Western style belt, blousing the top a little which looked really cute. I am surprised that the frilly trim works so well with the print/dress as I normally don’t do ruffles and other extraneous girly things.

Pretty dress and really nice to be 100% cotton, but unfortunately it runs big.

This is a sweet dress with a pretty print. The problem for me was the bust. It was a PL, but it was very tight.
