Promising review: "A perfect dress for spring and summer cocktail parties. I followed other reviewers’ advice and bought a size smaller than usual. Glad I did as the top runs a little big. It hits just below my knee. Beautiful, polished cotton with pockets. So glad I bought it!" —Annabelle

Promising review: "Really could not love this dress more! It is beautiful, elegant, creative, and unique. I love that it is asymmetrical on both the top and the bottom. Love the floral applique. The satiny lining just adds a secret element of elevation. Delightful. I got size 4, but my friend, who is the same size but with a larger chest, went with size 8. So it's really all about fitting the bust here!" —SarajoyVB

Promising review: "I was pleasantly surprised by this dress. I ordered 2X from the plus-size line, and it hugged me perfectly, especially in the waist! Not too short for my taste, hit about mid thigh. The fabric is lightweight, breathable, and stretchy. The red is a beautiful shade that leans orange." —MadelineC

Promising review: "I don't usually write reviews, but I will for this dress. I purchased this dress in fuchsia, and it is gorgeous! The material is so soft, and the lining is equally comfortable. It fits perfectly. It's timeless and will stand out in any crowd!" —ShahanaShasha

Promising review: "I LOVE this dress. The colors are vibrant in person, the fabric is soft, and the fit is perfect. I have a slightly different version of this dress (sleeveless) and ordered a size M this time, and it fits like I got it altered for my body shape and length. I cannot wait to wear all spring!" —Carla99

Promising review: "This dress is far and away more than a 'cover up,' but rather more like the most amazing little dress ever. I unfolded it from the package and instantly knew it was perfect. I put it on and smiled. I'll wear this dress 10 million miles. Like it, too? Don't hesitate on the price. Just get it. You'll be so happy you did." —Carolannee
