Promising review: "This dress is a dream — fancy enough for a wedding or party, or easy to make more casual with a cardigan or sweater on top. It even looks great with a blazer for work. I'm on the petite side (5'3", 110 pounds, 34A), so I worried it would be too shapeless on me, but it skims my hips and behind in such a nice way, and I love the neckline, which isn't quite a crewneck." —Molly

It's lightweight and doesn't seem to wrinkle, truly the perfect summer dress for weddings/parties/church/anything." —Faith

Promising review: "This dress is really beautiful for the money!! It fits true to size, but it does have a lot of stretch to it, so if you're in between, I would buy the smaller size.
