Tie-back tiered cotton poplin dress

I love this style of dress I bought it in 4 colors. The black, white print, blue stripe, and the liberty print and I’m in heaven. When you find a perfect silhouette you just have to get it in as many colors as possible. Will wear these for many years to come and all in classic Jcrew prints that will never go out of style. Very very pleased.

My review is for a chambray. The reviews for the chambray are not allowed anymore, I wonder why. The "bodice" of a size Petite 10 measures 4 inches on the side and 5 inches on the front. It's sized for a child, not an adult unless you want to show all the goods. It does not look like the picture at all, in the picture the model has a normal bodice that goes around and covers the breasts, the one I got is a thin strip of the fabric. I can't return it so I will find a child to give it too. The older reviews said it ran big, but if you have breasts size up at least two sizes. I followed the size chart.

Waited diligently for this dress to go on sale, and when it did I purchased it immediately. Based on the reviews, I sized up from my usual 0 to a 2 in order for the chest to fit. I don't wear traditional bras anymore so I can't say my "bra size" but there's certainly enough to cup (i.e., I'm not flat chested but I'm also not a DD, probably a B or C?). I was disappointed to find the dress to be overall too big to be flattering. If I had *really* wanted to make it work, I could have pulled the tie portion as tight as possible in order for it to fit my chest as much as practical. However, the extra fabric around the chest due to me sizing up combined with the very eh way the skirt fell made the purchase all around not worth my while.

The material was different from what I expected, but in good way. This is light and airy and I felt so comfortable yet stylish at the same time. I wore it to a concert in the park and I got so many compliments. Like the other reviews, the bust area was a little snug.

I had such high hopes for this one based on the reviews, so when I was able to buy in the light blue -- in a size 8, which is slightly larger for me given I'm usually 4-6 -- I thought it would be great. The chest definitely runs small, as I'm a 36B and find the size 8 just perfect for a pre-wash 100% cotton top. That said, the design combination of the empire waist with the very wide ruffle skirt just does nothing for me. It's not flattering imo. I'm very average height/build, and perhaps the black looks different on people or other peoples' bodies fit differently; but this dress just didn't meet my expectations and unfortunately was final sale.

This dress is beautiful and the perfect material for summer. I am consistently a size 10 but did have to size up to a 14 as I’m busty. I’m not a fan of the side zip but the dress is so adorable that I purchased both colors. I do wish it had pockets but understand it would add unwanted weight. I received several compliments when I wore it out to dinner. Grab this while you can.
