View Product DetailsCustomer Reviews
What customers say:
Customers praise the dress for its soft, lightweight cotton gauze fabric that feels cool and breathable in hot weather, with many highlighting easy care and durability through multiple washes. Most find it ideal for summer, beach, and travel use. However, fit divides reviewers significantly—some love the relaxed silhouette while others find it baggy or unflattering. Many note the dress runs large and sizing down improves fit. A few mention the neckline rides up during movement or the fabric feels less soft after washing. Despite mixed opinions on shape, most customers appreciate the comfort and versatility for casual, warm-weather wear.

Not for me
Odd shape, not flattering. Thin material that let light through enough to show too much leg underneath for my comfort level. Returned it.

I originally thought to purchase in a medium as that is my normal size, but after reading the reviews opt to go a size down. The dress fit perfect as I am a bit narrow in the hip

Too baggy

I bought this a few weeks ago, in size medium. It looks like I'm wearing a potato sack. The side pockets swell the hips look. Don't like anything but the pretty green color.

I like the cotton gauze, but not the pockets.

The pockets on this dress are not sewn down, so they wrinkle up and add inches to my hips and thighs. I have another cotton gauze dress by a competitor that has the pockets sewn fl

Great dress for summer
Height: 5'4"
Size Purchased: Large
Bought this in a petite so it wouldn’t be too long on me (5’4”) and it fits perfectly. Adorable easy throw on dress for the summer heat. I got the navy, not see through at all.
