Perfection

The perfect throw on and look put together dress. Slightly tight in the bust but not too noticeable. Love a good linen blend. Would totally buy more colors if they ever came out with them.

Love so much I bought 2 colors!

Got this dress last year in a lovely lilac color and it was my go-to dress. Easy, oversized (in a cute way), so perfect for summer. Feels like the perfect weight and length for anything. So happy to see it back in more colors!

Great summer dress

I’m 5’2” around 118lbs. I bought dress in my typical xs and the fit is right on. The dress has a full skirt but I love it. Color is pretty and feels like summer! I got on sale so it was a great buy

Beautiful dress

Love the soft lilac color, it’s a beautiful summer color. Love the fabric, great quality. I did size down (to XS) as suggested in other reviews, but I think my regular (Small size) would have been the best fit. Nonetheless it fits nicely, just a bit shorter than preferred. Love this dress so much and bought another similar to it almost right away.

Such a cute summer dress

I love this dress. The linen is thick enough to give the dress a good structure and shape, and the buttons at the front keep it from being so loose it looks like a half length mumu. Size down, I'm 5'4", 36C bust, and pretty consistently a medium but the small fits me perfectly. I'm afraid a medium would have felt overwhelming and shapeless.

Absolutely perfect

I've been looking for an easy breezy summer dress for a few weeks now and this absolutely fits the bill. Roomy without being a sack, fabric is thick without getting hot, and the length is very flattering. If you're between sizes I'd suggest sizing down, especially if you're not too large on top. I go between M and L (size 8-12) depending on the cut and this dress in M fits perfectly. I want all the colors!

Flattering loose fit & pockets?! Yes, please.

Love this dress, feels feminine and relaxed. There’s a bit of weight to the fabric so it doesn’t go flying about if there’s a light breeze. Summer staple.

True to size

Based on the reviews here, I sized down to XS and boy was that a mistake – I had to return it and get my regular size (S – I'm 5'2", 116lbs, 34C) This dress wins the summer trifecta of cool, comfortable, and flattering. I have it in black, but I'm thinking of getting a second one in lilac!

Perfect, Light, Comfy Piece

This is just what is advertised. It is very comfortable, cute and quality piece. It fits well, could be a little tight around the arms though - I am pretty petite and found the sleeves could be a little larger - other than that it's something I plan to live in this summer!

So comfy

This is THE perfect summer dress. It’s light and airy, but not see through at all; if you need a little more room you can unbutton it, and, it has pockets, perfection.
