Customers praised this maxi dress as 'absolutely beautiful' with vibrant colors and excellent fabric quality. Many loved the adjustable zipper slit and pockets. However, sizing runs small, especially in the bust/back area—customers recommend sizing up. Some reported faulty zippers that separate at the waist. The dress fits true to size in length but may be long for shorter wearers.

  • This dress is absolutely beautiful and the quality of the fabric exceeded my expectations!!
  • I received so many compliments. Love the zipper that allows me to decide how much leg to show.
  • I absolutely love the look and feel of this dress with POCKETS!

I love this dress

I love this dress, however, I can't wear it. It is way too long. I wish it was mid-calf length or maybe just below the knee. I bought it for an occasion and I was so disappointed that I could not wear it. I am going to have it altered so I can wear it. It is so pretty!

I really wanted to like this dress

I really wanted to like this dress, but unfortunately, the fit was disappointing\. At 5’2”, I found it much too long, and it didn’t suit my height or proportions\. It seems better suited for someone taller\. If you’re petite, be prepared to have it altered\. I wish a petite option were available because the dress itself is nice, but the fit simply didn’t work for me\.

My sister loved how this blue and white outfit made her feel — fresh, confident, and ready for anything. The pattern gives it just the right amount of flair.

Beautiful, But NO Washing instructions!???

Love the dress, but how is it to be washed? I can’t find any tag to suggest laundry instructions! Is it dry clean only?

Lovely Dress but the top was too tight. Can't wear it.

I bought this dress for a friend. She loves everything about the style and color. But the fit was awkward, too tight on top but fine in the skirt. She loved the look of the dress but couldn't wear it. Can D'Ianyu help?

Wonderful

Wore this to a brunch and it was perfect. I’m a 24/26 in pants and 48C. The bottom was perfect but top was a little tight. I couldn’t wear my bra with the dress but it looked good without it! I’d buy from here again.

THE DRESS FITS WELL. I LIKE THE QUALITY AND MATERIAL OF IT. IT IS VERY BEAUTIFUL AND EYE- CATCHING.

I could have sized down to a large and it’s longer than I had hoped it would be but I live the material so I will most likely have it cut shorter

Love the Dress

I wore it for a seventies themed sneaker gala. I had a problem with the zipper . It opened up as I put on the dress for the first time I put the dress on. I had to wear the dress with broken zipper.

Another win!

This is the second print I have in this dress style. I really enjoyed the flow of the dress and the zipper to be able to adjust the height of the split. It’s so lovely addition to my wardrobe.

I felt like a queen

I received so many compliments. Love the zipper that allows me to decide how much leg to show. My dress was a little long but I made it work because I felt so beautiful in it. Great quality.

Beautiful dress

The dress fits like a glove, it’s beautiful and got many compliments. It is true to size. I’m 5’4, 185lb and got the XL.

The only reason I didn’t give it a 5 is because the zipper is faulty and separates at the waist level and it takes a few tries to zip correctly. This is the only complain though and it might be just a threading issue, but the dress is so beautiful and fits so nice. I will be reaching out to let them know and hopefully the next piece will be just fine.

Purchase was smooth and quick shipping.
