Cute!
"I feel like it runs small but it is super cute and love the pockets"
So light and airy, perfect
"So light and airy, perfect for the summer. I wasn't too bothered by the straps ( it's an easy adjustment). I found that the dress fit well and was true to my size. Overall, I'm satisfied with this dress and I wished it came in more colors"
This dress is huge, really
"This dress is huge, really disappointed. I will have to have it altered to fit."
Awkward cut to the top
"The bottom half of the stress is perfect. It's loose, has pockets and has a half slip. Now for the positive for the top, I like the ruffle. I like the concept that the straps are adjustable, with the two buttons or you could crisscross them, I haven't tried that yet. But it's not adjustable enough. The armpit spacing is basically halfway down my torso, below my bra. I think I'm going to try to alter it. I'm not sure exactly what I'll end up doing. I probably would have returned it despite its beautiful pattern if I hadn't bought it in a final sale. So far I've just worn it with a complimentary linen t-shirt underneath which works fine but wasn't what I was going for."
Have to Return/Exchange
"Dress is pretty and well made, but comically oversized. My waist is bust is 44", waist 40", and hips 49". I bought a size 18W knowing the bust might be a tad loose, but wanting to make sure it would fit my waist and hips. This dress is roughly 44" in the waist and 50" in the bust. Skirt and liner are both gathered, so I didn't take a measurement there. I can get it on and off without unbuttoning it or removing my bra and my boobs don't even have to squish to fit through the waist."
With Reviews, I Saw It Coming
"5'5", 125 lbs, cup size A, ordered size 6: Decent material, vibrant colors, length down a half inch past knees. It is not stretchy at the waist but fits comfortably loose. It has a slip semi-attached to the dress and stitching is great around the button portion (usually have unattached strands catching on the buttons). This is a great summer dress because if how thin it is. Be sure to wear light colored underwear. Will need to sew it to make it fit properly: it's perfect from the waist down, but the waist up is way too loose. I wish I could share photos just to show the space. I am a small breasted woman so the extra space fits two fists starting in my back. I even tried it with a push-up bra and it was still too big. I put it as true to size due to a personal fit below, but the top runs big; almost like it is supposed to fit a small waisted, big boobied woman."
Way too big.
"The sizing is too big and the straps are very long. It was a final sale, so I can't return. As the other reviews state, the top is also fitted off."
Runs very small
"I sized up on this dress to a 24W from My normal 22W and it’s not even close to fitting me. I’m Not sure what ModCloth has done to their sizing but it is now all over the place. The only reason I gave this two stars is because the fabric is adorable and it’s a cute style. Sadly I can not exchange for a larger size because they are sold out. Such a bummer."
Runs very small in the bust
"I normally order size 6/M for ModCloth and with the other reviewers suggestions, I sized up and ordered a size 8 and it fits well in the bust with only the slightest bit of room at the waist and a tiny bit of slack in the straps as well. But as a 34C, it is very small in the bust as I should have ample room given the chart measurements but didn’t have that much left over. That said, I do like the print and it’s just as pictured here."
