Women's Floral Maxi Dress with V-Neck & Straps - Hawaiian Beach Casual Dress for Summer Vacation, Pool Party & Tropical Getaway

I was so afraid I’d be swimming in this dress because I had ordered a sz medium before reading the reviews. So many people make it sound as if it is huge. I am so glad I ordered a sz up. I am 5ft 1in and 144lbs. Pear shaped frame. And this dress is perfect. I wanted that loose flowy look as in the photos. If I had ordered the small (my usual dress sz)it would fit, but it would not be flowing like in the photos. If you don’t order larger it won’t look flowy. The best thing about this dress is there’s a string on the shoulders that can be adjusted as well as around the waist. Being short, I had to pull the top string a little tighter than the waist so that I won’t have to hem the dress and it’s the perfect length without dragging the ground. If you are thinner and taller and want the look like on the model you’ll be able to loosen the top string a lot and the waist tighter so the shoulder straps are longer and it slouches on top. Keep in mind, the more you loosen the top string the lower the underarms get. All in all... the dress is very comfortable and pretty for the price. Some people complained about the material... it’s fine. Just like most dresses are made of. It has a thin white lining as well, which is terrific. A great dress with a great price. Perfectly comfortable for everyday wear or around the house in summer. My only complaint is the colors aren’t quite as vivid as in the photos, especially the blue one. but still pretty. I bought two colors and plan to get more.
