I loved wearing this dress for a spring wedding shower. The drawstring waistband gave it shape. And pockets!! As others have said, the sleeve openings fall at an odd spot for my body type (right above the elbow) and were a little tight, but this dress still gets 5 stars. 

This dress is bright and feels perfect for warm weather. The material is light and comfortable. Overall I believe it was flattering. Great for casual and a little dressy. I wore to work and going out. I’m 

So I’m a sucker for a shirtdress and this could be one of my favorites.

Casually chic and cool this dress is nothing but comfortable. There are beautiful details like the  tuxedo pleats down the front. The gentle tie-waist compliments a figure. The light-puff sleeves have a button detail at the cuff. The material is both whisper-soft and slightly crisp and completely breathable which makes it perfect for summer. Even the print is beautiful, featuring hibiscus, parrots and butterflies - the dress looks and feels like summer. 

I wore to the office, to the pool, to run errands and even a barbecue. It was a hit everywhere and I was comfortable. The pockets are deep and well placed.

This dress will work on a variety of complexions and body types. Fit it true to size. You could order-up for a slightly oversized look you tame by pulling in on the waist. 

So cute! A bit sheer but so comfortable and soft! 

Loved this! Easy and breezy with a fun pattern for a tropical location. 

So lovely and luxe to wear as a casual dress in a hot climate. Fabric is v breathable, lined which is great. Drawstring for definition. Really loved it!

Such a great dress! I wore it for work while in Hawaii and it was perfect weight for the temps. Great fit and after a little ironing it was like new! 

Light fabric, easy to wear. Works with heels and flip flops 

Comfortable and fun to wear. Lots of compliments.

Lovely dress, I have worn it a few times, such a comfortable fit and fun pattern.  Fits perfectly with the drawstring waist.  

Wrinkles and thin material
Could age easily
Good for WFH or a lunch date. 
Hugh waisted
Tie at waist makes it work. 

Easy to wear. Light fabric. Decided to wear a slip underneath just in case. 

Lightweight fabric, fit perfectly! Could also wear over bathing suit but definitely pretty enough to wear to casual dinner. Will rent again!

The fabric was lightweight and the print was beautiful but it was too overwhelming on my petite frame. Maybe if I went down a size it could have looked better

I didn’t love this dress when it arrived but I got so many compliments on the colors and pattern. Very light weight with a drawstring waist which was great since the medium was too big on me and needed to be cinched in. 

Don’t size up on this dress and grab it is you won’t a comfortable dress to wear throughout the day. 

Lots of compliments. Flattered my figure. I ordered the Large next time would rent the Medium. 

Looks a bit like a swim coverup.  Great dress.  I wore it to a work event at a resort and got compliments on it. I’d wear it again. 

I love almost everything this designer does!  The color combination - pinks, soft reds and pinky-reds - was pretty and I don’t see those colors together very often.  The print is tropical but still sophisticated.  It is a style (shirt dress with a drawstring) that should work for a lot of people. Although it has long sleeves, the fabric is so lightweight it was comfortable on a warm and humid late summer evening.  It is also lined and not see-through.  I’m 5’2”, and I tend to prefer my dresses right about knee length, and this worked really well for me. I wore my usual size in this brand (S); the cut is forgiving enough I probably could have worn a size smaller if the small wasn’t available but I was happy with S.
