I ordered a size medium. I am 5'9" tall, around a size 8. I absolutely love this dress, I find it to be very flattering, the fabric is a stiffer fabric. But honestly, it reminds me of some of the vintage fabrics I have. So it totally doesn't bother me, especially with the style of the dress. I find ...that it is well-made, definitely does not feel flimsy. Really love it. Cannot wait to wear it to a special. I buy clothes that are in this style in retro type shops fairly frequently. That are still new items of clothing. And they charge easily $150 for a dress like this, so I am stoked with this dress!
This dress is super cute. It fits great. IT HAS POCKETS. But it feels – and worse – SOUNDS exactly like a windbreaker. I normally try to avoid polyester, but was willing to make an exception since this was cute and I needed something to wear to an upcoming event. I don't think I've ever come acros...s polyester processed this way. It's very thick (to be fair this dress is probably extremely durable) but I just felt like I was wrapped in a high-quality plastic table cloth. Everything else about it is so great, but I just can't deal with the loud swishing every time I move or smooth my skirt to sit down. If it were a nice, thick cotton it would be 100% perfect. Sadly, it is being returned.

I wore the black floral version of this to a wedding this weekend and got so many compliments! It's a heavy taffeta so it has that rustly sound but also enough stiffness that the skirt stands out well without a crinoline. The fabric is smooth and comfortable. It has HUGE pockets, smocked sides, a zippered back, and adjustable straps. The fit-and-flare design and sweetheart neckline is sooo flattering. My only real complaint was that the straps were very narrow, and slipped a lot. But otherwise? Gorgeous. The floral pattern is also divine. I hope they do more dressy/formal style floral patterns!

I went on an overhaul of my closet. I picked this up when in was on sale. I loved the print. I was nervous because I had bought last seasons skirt and crop top and returned because I did not like the fit. I understand what they are saying about the material, however, for the price you can not beat it! It can be dressed up or down. The fit, true to size! I am 54 122 lbs with small chest. I got the small and it is perfect. I like things fitted! I ddi not return this dress!

I don't understand why everyone is complaining about the fabric. I guess they don't know what taffeta is, it is a little slick and has a bit of structure, which I love. The dress fits beautifully and is true to size. Great for so many different occasions.

There have been different patterns and lengths of this dress and I love them all. The material is not hot. Its flattering. I always get compliments when I wear them. I want this length im more colors. Its true to size. If you are in between sizes, I think both would fit. The smaller size would be more fitted at the top and the larger size would give more coverage on top like my picture.

oldnavy.gapcanada.caJust for the sole purpose that I don't understand the negative comments. I absolutely LOVE this dress. The material is amazing and it's absolute perfection for a summer wedding. I found it maybe fit a bit bigger than I was expecting and I wish they had a petite in the floral pattern as it may be a tad bit long but I'm absolutely keeping this and can't wait to wear it!
