Classy with some frills
August 31, 2021I have this dress in the navy and it's beautiful - classic midi with the right amount of frills! I agree with the majority of reviewers - you will need to size up. For reference, I am close to 5'7" and about 138 pounds, small chested and the size 8 was perfect for me, especially on top - it wasn't too snug for me. There is a zip at the side of the dress where the chest/rib cage is and I can see it being an issue if you are larger chested. I am typically a 6 or 8 in liberty tops depending on cut. You will need to steam iron this dress as it is cotton and will wrinkle.

For my little people
July 31, 2021Thought I should write a review as a size 0 since that's all the sizes left. I am only a 30C chest (size chart says 33 for 0) so I have a bit of room in the chest area, but I'm glad I matched for my correct waist instead, because I can always wear a more padded bra, but can't change my rib cage. It also looks fine if I just keep my shoulders back and stand properly! I'm also 5'4 so the dress is a bit long on me, it goes much lower than the mid-calf, almost to my ankles in fact. But that just makes it feel even more like an old-fashioned dress! When I put on the beautiful orange dress, I instantly knew I was from some previous era, and now I want to wear dresses like this all the time! Worth the purchase and the risk.

Lovely dress for summer
June 22, 2021I do agree that the chest fits little tight but the overall fitting is good. Good length and sleeves with collar.

New Take on the Shirt Dress
May 21, 2021I love this versatile dress. Great for the office or farmers market. Top of the dress is fitted so if you have a large bustline size up. Ruffles make dress less conservative and add interest.

Awkward
April 14, 2021The dress is a pretty style and the warm caramel color is nice. However, as others have noted, the bodice of the dress is very tight. The zipper sticks as well. And, I found it difficult to take it off after I tried it on. If you don't like to iron, this dress isn't for you--the cotton poplin fabric has a nice weight, but wrinkles very easily.

Beautiful dress; didn’t run small for me.
April 10, 2021It’s a great dress. Love the colors, fabric, and pockets. Based on other reviews, I ordered a 2 and a 4 rather than my usual 0. The 2 was just too big enough to look sloppy and to pooch out at the waist. There’s a lot going on in front with the ruffles so it’s not a style that works if it’s too big. I’m 107-110 lbs, 5’ 3”.
