Reviews

Absolutely perfect!

"This is such a cute dress! The print is adorable! The quality and fit is also perfect. It's such a happy dress and I received so many compliments! :)"

— Courtney K. (5/5)

Cozy and cute

"I love the heavy cotton material and the comfy fit of the dress. I look forward to wearing this during the winter holiday season. I tried on the XL, 1X and 2X. . . . this dress runs large so I am keeping the XL (and the 2X because I missed the super quick return window for that one) The belt is mostly useless as it does not stay tight. . . . the belt for the 2X is a foot too long, the belts for the XL and 1X are too short. Good golly."

Love love it’s cute and

Purrfectly Pretty

"It was a lovely dress and the quality was really good. One button did pop off the first time I was putting it on but other than that it fit well I loved that it had a lining for the skirt- which made it feel luxurious. I ordered a medium and it was a little big but I was not sure a small would have fit me. The print is whimsical but the cut and design are classic and the belt also elevates the look. I could wear it to work without looking foolish but maintaining my sense of whimsy."

Bread, Cats & Vintage = Win

"I love this dress so much. The design/print is so adorable and the fit is great. High quality fabric as always! With that, similar to another review, the belt was horrible. It has no structure or "bones" to it so it doesn't tighten at all and doesnt say put. I had to get my own belt to be able to tighten it properly and give it that cinched effect. I will say this doesn't run a bit on the larger size around the waist/bust area. I typically am a 2X and affording to the size chart am, but that size had sold out and it went on sale and I have been losing weight so I figured it'll take a chance with the 1X and worse case donate it. However, turns out the 1X fit perfect with more than enough space in the bust/waist area, so the 2X would of ironically been too big. So I would suggest potentially sizing down one."

Super fun novelty print dress with classic cut

"Comfortable and cute fit and flare dress with matching belt. Received compliments the day I wore it. The Christmas themed cat print was a winner. I found the 1X to run a bit bigger in the bust rhan I expected. I ordered 1X because I found older styles in XL to be a little tights. Seems the cut may have changed"

— Jaclyn E. (5/5)

Absolutely Stunning

"The quality of ModCloth dresses is just unmatched. Thick material, great shape, beautiful pattern. I have missed shopping here and am so glad you send more items to the UK again."

— Sarah M. (5/5)

Purrfectly cute

"The dress is really nice (I have purrfectly baked). It’s a heavy feeling dress but it’s not too much. The only thing I didn’t like was that the belt does not stay snug at all. I had to put a safety pin in it as there is just no tension. Not sure if it’s just mine, or an issue with the design."

— Krysten (5/5)

Thick flannel fabric that feels lux

"I love this dress and get compliments every time I wear it! It runs a bit big. The fabric is not thin, and there is lots of it. Stunning."

— Chels (5/5)

Pajama Material Dress but Nice Silhouette

"I decided to keep the dress since I like the silhouette but the fabric is similar to flannel pajamas."

— Kathleen (3/5)
