I love the fabric on this dress. The crinkled strips and bright colors scream summer to me. The dress overall ran large. I'm 5'5" and 120lbs, with a small chest (34 a/b) and I'm normally a size 2, but the 0 fit without being tight. The problem for me was the length and all the fabric in the skirt. With the long ruffle at the bottom and all the extra fabric around my hips, I looked like a mermaid. I really wish J Crew would hold back from putting so many ruffles on so many garments. Sometimes less is really more.

This dress looks SO LOVELY on the website. In reality, the colors are circus clown BRIGHT, and something I would NEVER choose! Then, when I put it on, the fit was the worst I've ever seen! I weigh 110 lbs at 5'4", yet this makes me look and feel nine months pregnant! Not a good look! Trust me! It's cut very unflattering, and is humongous! I should have listened to the reviews, but I took a chance. Now, I'm left with a dress I will NEVER wear. AND, it's unreturnable! How bad is that?!? I learned a valuable lesson. Don't buy a dress on J.Crew website unseen, that is final sale, as you can't return it, if it doesn't match the website photos. Live and learn. This was a really bad purchase!!! Never again!

I do like the color and material of this dress. It's not thick or thin. Great for beach and outing.
