Cotton voile tiered maxi dress in fairy floral

I found this dress to be perfect-a beautiful print, flowy, and well made (it has french seams!). I wore it out several times on our trip to Florida, for dinner and walking along the beach. What I loved is that I got the dress wet at the bottom and it dried up before we got back to our car. You can wear it with a belt for a more cinched in look or flowy for a more casual look. For reference, I am 5'1" and 112 lbs. and took my usual XS. If they had this in different colors I would definitely buy again!

I absolutely love this dress and can’t understand the low ratings. The print is beautiful and colorful. The fabric is light and airy. I’ve worn this out to brunch and shopping - received numerous compliments each time. After reading the reviews, I did size down. Still a little loose, but the belt helps cinch in the waist. I didn’t find it to be sheer, so no need for a slip. At 5’, I was worried that it might be too long, but it’s a perfect maxi length for me, even with flats on. I didn’t like the sleeves pulled down towards the elbow, like how the model wears it, so I pulled them up a little and they hang over for cute little balloon sleeves (did not look too puffy). This dress flows so beautifully while walking…I unbuttoned it upwards, like in the first photo, to show off a little leg. I found this on sale with an extra 50 percent off promo…what a steal! I couldn’t be more happy with this purchase! I just ordered the matching headband too.

J Crew has this listed as a “dress” but when I received it and tried it on I found it to be more of a cover up. It is an EXTREMELY thin material. COMPLETELY see-through. I took the cotton slip out of another dress I got at the same time and tried that, but it didn’t work. Yes, this is very pretty but...c’mon j crew! This is a beach cover up. Even the label states it’s from the beach collection. So disappointed! It’s also very big. I’ve gained quite a lot in the last several months and the medium was really large on me. Additionally, the short sleeves have elastic in them. They ride up on the arm. This is not particularly flattering if you have more muscular arms, or larger arms.
