What customers say:
Customers praise the lightweight, breathable fabric as ideal for hot weather and summer comfort, with many calling it soft and effortless to wear. However, fit divides reviewers significantly—many report the dress runs very large with excessively loose armholes and bodice, creating a baggy silhouette especially for petite or average frames, though some with curvier shapes find it flattering. Several note the fitted waist and flowy skirt work well when sizing aligns properly. Despite fabric quality earning consistent approval, fit inconsistencies and design concerns leave roughly a quarter of customers disappointed, while others remain devoted to the piece.

Poor sizing
I returned this lovely dress because it fit so poorly. It is the size I normally wear from LLBean but it was way too big (a petite extra small) so I couldn’t order a smaller size.

This is a lovely fabric and colors for hot summer days and dress had great potential but:
--arm holes ridiculously large
--and design of dress with fitted waste very unflattering

Beautiful and comfortable for hot summer days!
Cool and casual, easy maintenance, toss in washer, remove immediately. Perfect with a light short sleeve top, can be dressed up or be more casual with sandals. Always good for camp

Nightgown dress, Maybe
I should have listened to other reviewers comments. This dress armholes are “HUGE”. If you have to wear a tank underneath this dress it defeats the purpose of trying to stay cool i

This seemed fine at first but after trying it on a couple more times I realized the armholes were too big as if made for someone with a much larger bust. I also did not think the e
