"Love the top half but fabric sat weird around my hips/bum so didn’t keep. Lovely material and colour though. Think it’s true to size but didn’t work for pear shape so well."
— Victoria H. (4/5)
"The fit is great, and the size is as expected. The quality is fine. I find the pattern quite weird, since it has some weird flaps on the sides which gives some volume on the calves (the model wears it with a cardigan so it doesn't really show."
— Anastasia N. (4/5)
"I love this dress. It's the perfect length for me even though I'm short (5'1"). The fabric is soft and feels great. Very flattering and fits perfectly."
— Rachel S. (5/5)
"Low cut, stretcy fabric, soft material. Okay quality not the best. True to size."
— Antea ฤ. (5/5)
"Perfect. Fit and sizing on point. Fabric feels nice, doesnt feel cheap. Actually flattering"
— Menja (5/5)
"I have short nails and my thumb went right through this fabric pulling it on. I can’t believe how easily it ripped. It looks nice but it tears super easily."
— Sara S. (1/5)
"The fit of this dress is so flattering, the fabric is medium weight and great quality, I love the distressed/washed look."
— Charlotte P. (5/5)
"True to size, super cute and slightly grungy. Stretchy so it’s pretty comfortable"
— Melanie W. (5/5)
"This was the one dress from a larger order that I haven’t completely fallen in love with yet — I think I was just expecting a bit more. I’m not deducting any stars, though, as there’s nothing actually wrong with it. It reminds me a lot of a previous favorite of mine, but that one was made of denim and fit me differently. This particular cut just doesn’t flatter me as much; it really emphasizes my tummy, haha. That said, a belt might help with that. The size is correct, and the fabric quality is good."
— Vivien T. (5/5)
"Perfect and original cut, perfect length, looks totally awesome, the pic don't do it justice. And the fabric is cotton, breathable and soft for summer. Easy to wash and wear. She's a must have actually."
— Astrid P. (5/5)
