Loved this cozy dress with pockets. Typically I size up on dresses, but sized down for this.  There is a tie in back that you can cinch the dress smaller.  Most photos show it tied in front, but I tied in back.  Loved this dress. 

Fun but comfortable. Wore it all day and night. Like everyone else says — size down at least one size. I went down two sizes. 

Pockets are nice!

Yes this dress runs large, but I didn't mind it! Even though the colors are darker, it still gave me cool summer vibes due to the fabric being light. I tucked the pockets behind me because they gave my hips a wide look. I love the neckline, sleeves and length! 

I am usually a size 6-8 and I originally rented the size 4, but it was still too big so I swapped it for the size 2.  The size 2 fits me perfectly and I love the style/pattern - it is very versatile (suitable for work but I would also wear it out to a party or dinner).  I really don't want to give it back, so I might even buy it :)

Nothing terribly special about the dress, but a comfortable work option. I tied the belt in front which to me looked better than tying in back. Lightweight and easy to fit.

I was immediately drawn to the colors and pattern of this dress. It was so fun! I'm a breastfeeding mom, so I try to keep the girls covered as best as possible, so this dress fit the bill. I ended up tying the tie to the back, which made this more form fitting in the front. I also pushed the pockets to the back, which prevented the extra hippiness that pockets can sometimes add. This dress hit me right below the knee. If I were to re-order, I would size down to a small. 

Pretty colors that can match with a lot. Very comfortable, loose fit. I'm usually a 8/10 and the 6 was roomy on me. So easy to wear all day.

it's a fun dress and out of my norm.  it's comfortable and breathes, but it's baggy 

Not my favorite thing I've ever worn. The location of the tie made me feel like my hips were more wide. It runs large though. I wore the 6 more for length. I'm usually 8 or 10. Overall, did the job but I didn't feel AMAZING. 

This dress has the potential to be fashionable but it's big and shapeless. The attached tie that helps define the waist doesn't do enough to create a flattering silhouette. The print of the fabric is unique and adds a nice pop of color that looks textured and feels silky smooth. On the plus side, it's a very comfortable dress that had enough length to make it office appropriate.

Tried 6 which was huge.  Size 4 still felt a little big and shapeless.

Belt doesn't do much to add shape.  

Otherwise very comfortable, pretty colors.  Surprisingly though, no compliments.

I did not find this dress flattering. I sized down and still felt like I was swimming in it. The pattern was a bit meh in person. 3 stars because, despite me not loving the dress I still got a few compliments. 

Just runs big. Has pockets which is nice. If ordered again would do smaller size.

Big, but comfortable 
Nice material
Belt helps to make it look fitted 
Pockets!

Flattering style, beautiful design. I've rented this one before. Lots of compliments

LOVED THIS DRESS! Wore it during the day at a conference.  Very light and flowy - can dress it up or dress it down. Not too short, not too long. 

I'm 5'7 and this dress hit right at my knee.  Fabric is light and cool, yet feels and looks high quality.  I give this dress a 10!

Roomy and cute. Doesnt make you hot. Hits well below the knee, this is just a relaxed look.

LOVED this print. Paired wheel with nude heels and black heels (ultimately went with black) and gold jewelry. 

Ran a bit large on me (probably could have worn a 10) but with the belt and some posing it was easy to maintain a waist in photos. 

I'm quite short (5'0) and it definitely hung to a semi-strange length. (Will add photo when I get them from photographer)

Work three times. Easy to wear. Comfortable. Could have sized down. 

I wore this to work and loved it! I received so many complements. 

The dress does indeed run quite large. I could have sized down but made it work. It is super comfortable and great for those new mamas adjusting to their postpartum bodies. Full transparency: this is the first dress I didn’t have to wear spanx under since having baby. 

A great dress for blending in at work.  Had a work conference with all men in a hot location, and needed something that would be cool but let me blend in and not worry about wardrobe malfunctions.  This did the trick.

Great pattern. I tied in the back super tight to make up for over sizing. Just size down. 

Great dress for work/everyday. I ended up wearing more than anticipated. 

Not form fitting and certainly nothing special but just fine for work.  Someone said “sack with a belt” and I agree. However the print is cool.

Good dress for work, comfortable, true to size, doesn't wrinkle easily. 

It was way too large. As stated in other reviews it is best to size down. But something I forgot to consider is the horizontal print and cut doesn't do anything to help flatter your figure. The quality of the dress is very good though. 

I wore the dress for social media for a big professional announcement, and it looked great on IG! Though I cinched it a bit to the back since I felt like it had a bit too much material to be totally flattering. But once I pulled it back it looked amazing!

Because of other reviews I ordered a 2 rather than a 4, the size I typically wear, and it was a perfect fit! 

Wore this for a work conference - very comfortable and I always appreciate pockets. But the size was very roomy, not something I'd wear regularly, or would need to size down.

Wore this work. Very comfortable. Loose fit. In the pics, it looked structures but it is not. Belt could be wider. 

A little too long to be short, but too short to be long. Not the most flattering length on me.
