Having a little peekaboo issue depending on the bra I wear.This dress is super cute, lightweight, and soft. I love that it comes with a little belt. I wore this recently in 100+ degree heat and high humidity and remained relatively comfortable. I am 5'3" and this hit above the knee for me. It is very thin, but not sheer. However, if it is even slightly windy, this dress will blow around. Very affordable and something I would wear often.This dress was definitely worth the money. For me it works for both work (office business casual) and free time. It's very comfortable and soft and I like that the belt is separate so you can style it however you want or even use the belt for other outfits. It's a great versatile dress to add to your wardrobe and it definitely gets a lot of compliments.The cat print is adorable and the material is soft and light. The belt is a nice color to complement the navy blue. Some gaping between buttons in the top (even with a small bust), but nothing some fabric tape won’t hold in place. Unfortunately, after one wash the dress shrank slightly and some of the hem started to come undone. After a second wash, more threads started to unravel.I was fully expecting to have to return this due to it being too small, but I love the style of these button up shirt dresses, and with it being Prime, I figured I would take the chance on it.I am 5'10" and a 38C, my waist is about 36 inches. I ordered this in an XL and thought that it would probably be too short on me and too small in the waist and across the chest, but the cut and elasticized waist in this dress is surprisingly forgiving. It fits just right on me. The chest and arms fit well, there is no pulling or gapping in the buttons and there isn't any exposure of bra straps or the side of a bra in the arm hole area. The length is nice on me as well, it came down to about an inch above my knees.The only cons about this is the fabric, it is pretty thin and a tiny bit on the sheer side. But as long as you aren't wearing contrasting underclothes it shouldn't be an issue, or stick a slip under it and it will be just fine. The print is a bit iffy, but it was not misrepresented by the picture, it does look just like the close up photo that shows the details, so that was my overlook by not checking the other pictures available. The belt that comes with it is your usual run of the mill, cheapy belt. But if you don't have many belts and want to visually pull in your waist, then it is a nice addition.Overall I think the price could come down a few bucks. It was $20 when I purchased it and I'm OK with paying that since I am really happy with the fit of it. I don't think I would buy more though unless I catch one of the other colors on sale. If it was around $10-$15, I would pick up another color or two.UPDATE: 6/7/17 Part of me wants to knock a star off after I washed it, but I feel like that may be a mess up on my end. Especially for letting someone else do the laundry when there was a new item in it, not sure if it got washed on cold or warm. But it shrank. I technically can still wear it, it fits. But it really is too short for me to comfortably wear it out. It went from about an inch above my knee to like 3 inches, so it is a significant difference. Especially on me since I'm so tall. On someone more of an average height, this might not be a problem. Part of me wants to re-purchase in another color and make sure to handwash it or something since I do like the dress. But I don't want to drop more money on it if there is a chance of it shrinking again. Too bad I can't size up to account for shrinkage. So it's still a nice dress, but keep the shrinkage in mind and make absolutely sure to follow the care instructions.Loved the fabric. Bought one and after having it, ordered another. Great fit.I love this sort of silhouette, so was excited to order this dress. Fit was fine, but material doesn't feel great, it falls weird, and has a slight sheen that makes it look cheap. It isn't sheer which I guess is a plus, but I've attached images to show what is advertised vs. what the material is when received. Not sure if this is the case for all patterns since the closeups look like they show different fabric types so could explain some of the inconsistent reviews.SO I always read reviews to figure out sizing since I am a breasty, curvy woman. This is now the second time that I should not have. I'm not sure if maybe they fixed the sizing on the dress, but I went up a size since everyone was complaining how small it ran and it is WAY TOO BIG. I wear a size 12 pants, can be either a medium or large shirt, 36 DDD, XL was ridiculously large on me.I didn't feel like trying to return for the right size since I wanted to wear this the next day, so I washed it in hot water and put it on high heat in the dryer and I did get it to shirt a bit.Other than the sizing, which was no fault of the company, I love the dress. It's cute. The belt is super long. I will most likely buy a different print in the correct size.I bought the XS Size and I always wear Size 8...I had to double check my measurements to match the Sizing chart. The dress fitted a I had expected, a little tight on the waist due to the elasticated waist, but I expected this. The shoulders sits well and length is just above knee, so again as expected. The quality of the belt was okay, not great, but I prefer the dress without the belt anyhow as that is my preference.If you are a Size 6 then this would fit with no problem also.Overall the cut and dress is very pretty, well made and what I've been looking for.2 stars solely for good customer service.. Dress is beautiful BUT1. the sizes are running large, I'm size M, ordered M and was swimming in it, had to return and re-order a size smaller2. size S fits but unfortunately after the first wash (hand wash in lukewarm water) the white flowers became bluish/grayish... basically looks old and dirty, like I've been wearing it every day for the past yearComplete waste of money and time (yes, it took a lot of time all in all, as seller is not UK based).Sadly would not recommend... too bad a new dress had to end up in a bin...Always slightly wary about sizing and got this a size larger, to be honest I could have gone with my normal size but really happy with it. The larger size gives a more relaxed fit. Pattern and fabric really nice, excellent length (not too short!) Don't normally wear belts with dresses but this is really nice on it- tip, wear it like the model in the picture. There are no belt holes as it's a plaited woven belt so you can have as tight or loose as you want. For reference I'm 5ft 6in, 11.5 stone and currently wearing a UK 12/14. This in the large fits me like a 14 to 16 I reckon. Will def get some more of these I think!Fits better than expected! I was worried about it being too short/too long but it’s perfect!The pattern is continuous throughout and as far as I can see it not blurred or stretched in places.The only downside is that it does not have loops for the belt.Very nice dress. Fit as expected, material falls nicely. The skirt is lined so you keep your modesty but the material is nice and light for a hot day. You can dress it up with a cardi or down with a denim jacket and espadrille wedges/cute little boots. Very happy with this. Only wish it came in more colours and a few more bright ones. Good quality and fast delivery.
