Oddly shaped dress
Size: Large, Color: Black
I retuned it because the shape of the dress was little off. I really wanted to like the dress but I didn’t .

Cute for warm weather, but consider sizing down!
Size: X-Small, Color: Golden Yellow Beige Multi Folk Floral
I liked this dress and probably would have kept it if it fit me. The material is not very thick, but I think thin cotton is ideal for a summer dress anyway. The slightly glossy/shiny feel of the sateen is a bit unusual, but didn't bother me. I LOVE that it has pockets. Just keep in mind that something heavy like a phone will weigh the skirt down and make it sit slightly differently. Can't speak to the long-term durability or how it washes, but the overall construction looked decent - no unraveling seams or glaring quality control issues. Sadly, it does not seem TTS to me. I am 5'2", 115lb. Bought my usual XS. It hit about mid-shin, so not too long, but it was quite large, especially in the chest and waist. It was less noticeable with the skirt since it is loose and pretty forgiving - if you are bottom-heavy and nervous about sizing down to fit your upper body, I wouldn't worry too much.

Great for the price. And POCKETS!
Size: X-Large, Color: Black, Size: X-Large, Color: Black
I don’t have a full body shot but the dress is lovely. I bought it for a party and it was comfortable the entire evening. Very light and not sheer. It fit very well and of course POCKETS! I will wear it again I’m sure. I don’t know if it will last for very long in the future, but for the price it is simply worth it to have a nice light dress for the summer.
