I wore this dress to church and got a lot of compliments. It is more comfortable that I thought it would be. The light blue is very flattering on me. But when I washed it (in cold water) the lace at the hem line shrunk about 25%. I will keep this and remove the lace because I am a petite and it will fit better then. I love your clothes, this is the first time I have been unhappy with anything I bought.

This dress is great, except the bodice is longer than my upper torso. I haven't decided if I should have it altered, or if I will return it. It was such a good buy that spending a bit to alter it would still make it a good purchase. If one has a longer torso, it would be perfect!

I read other reviews about the fit in the bodice but liked the dress enough to try it anyway. The dress is great, soft fabric, good color, but the neckline is a little wide, so I may have to figure a way to fasten it to my bra straps to keep it from slipping. Otherwise the dress is very easy to wear. And my husband said I looked pretty in it!

This is a great dress! It is exactly as described and fits great. My favorite part about it is the sleeves - they are long enough so that my upper arms don't look like two squished sausages! They are comfortable and flattering. I love the square-cut neckline; that is also quite flattering. The length is perfect, not too short to worry but not too long or overly voluminous to look like I don't care. I am going to use this as a cover-up on my upcoming cruise, and I think it is just perfect as a casual dress to throw over a bathing suit, or by itself with cute sandals for dinner.

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The smocking is a nice touch but I find that I had to have the shoulders taken in to prevent the off the shoulder look.

Has nice soft fabric, very versatile but, the top is extremely big. If you are small busted, the neckline will probably end up below your bust. If you're full chested, you'll be showing lots of clevage. The shoulders and neck are the only draw-backs to this dress.

The fabric is cotton knit like a T-shirt. I was expecting a woven fabric with more substance. I had hoped to be able to wear daily as a running around dress but feel its a little too revealing for that. It is comfortable to wear around the house. The neck is stretchy and large.
