I love everything about this dress! It’s definitely a new favorite for summer. The length, ruched sleeves, gorgeous color, and lightweight fabric add up to a beautiful dress. As far as sizing, I usually wear a size 10 and bought this in a Large. It fits perfectly across my shoulders and in the bodice and is just slightly big at the waist. I’m a fairly curvy hourglass so that’s par for the course for me. Since it has darts in the back it will be a quick fix to take the waist in just a bit. I’m going to be wearing this on repeat this summer!
Love love this dress on you! Thanks for the review!

This dress is so flattering! It soft and the waist hits in just the right place. The sleeves are also such a nice feminine touch. Love love love!!
I'm so happy you love it, Jessica! I was really particular about where the waist hits in the design, so I'm so glad it's paying off haha. Enjoy your dress!

If you are looking for a modest dress that makes you feel SO feminine, this dress is it! It has such a flattering fit, and the material is so light and breathable without feeling cheap. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because the fit was a little off for me, needing a size up in the waist but a size down in the shoulders, for it to be a perfect fit. I do have narrow shoulders, though, so it could have been me. But other than that, love this dress!
I ordered a small at first. At 5’1” and 125 pounds I’m usually a small or xs in clothing. The small was beautiful but just tight enough in the waist the I felt like I should sit up straight and eat lightly. Everywhere else fit beautifully. I exchanged for a medium but received another small. Back to the post office again, this time the shipping was paid for thank goodness. Exchanged for a medium again. This time received it first properly in the waist but the shoulders are wide the baggy chest makes it more obvious my breast are not large. It seems quite long although this could be my imagination. In a vain attempt I washed and dried it on hot hoping it would shrink a little bit. I was unsuccessful. I have honestly too many dresses but none make feel as disproportionate as this one. Unless you have an hourglass figure I would advise against this dress.
Susanna, I am sorry you had this experience! How disappointing. We do our best to make the fit as universal as possible, and feedback like this is very important in doing that. I will reevaluate this design to see what we can do going forward. Thank you for your review. -Kat
