The Boardwalk Daydream Midi Dress from our ModCloth namesake label brings pure sunshine energy to every outing. Crafted from breathable cotton with a smooth viscose lining, this sleeveless sundress features a structured square neckline, a fitted bodice, and a softly flared midi skirt that feels delightfully 1950s-inspired. Functional front buttons run the full length of the dress, while front patch pockets add an extra dose of charm. A smocked back panel offers comfortable stretch, making it easy to wear from farmer’s market mornings to ice cream dates that somehow become full-day adventures.

"I really like the colour and pattern (the pictures are correct on that front). Unfortunately, because of the buttons in the front, if you're curvy, this won't fit nicely like on the model. Perhaps getting a size bigger (if your height can manage) would rectify this, but not worth to do so for myself."
"This is a nicely made dress, and I like that the length is a little longer. It's fully lined (which might be a good thing or a bad thing depending on the temps!). But it definitely runs very big, so you should size down. I'm between a medium and large and used to need to go with larges in Modcloth brand, but the large was much bigger than I'm used to."
"This dress is very cute, but it seems to run a little big. I'm typically a size 2, but usually wear size small, extra small, or fall somewhere in between the two in most brands, but this dress in a small is definitely too big. Fits more like a 4-6 than a 2-4. Unfortunately the XS has been sold out for a while, so I may get this dress taken in by a seamstress. It's too loose in the bust and waist (which sits high like an empire waist). According to the size chart for this dress, my bust and hips are a size XS and my waist is a size small. Otherwise, I love that the dress is cotton. The colors are beautiful and the plaid is cute. If you're a size 2 like me though, you're going to need an XS instead of a small."
"Love this dress, very flattering and fits great. The straps have buttons so it is adjustable, which I appreciate. I also like that it is lined."
