oxiulyWomen's Casual Dresses Criss-Cross V-Neck Floral Flare Midi Summer Dress OX233

So first I wanted to say that I've been sewing 30 years and for this price I couldn't have purchased the fabric and zipper. It's a 65% cotton / 35 poly blend. It's a light weight knit with 40-50% stretch across the bodice and only a bit of give in the vertical direction. This makes for a very comfortable tee-shirt-like fitted bodice and flowie skirt.I'm uploading a picture of the inside seam to show its a 4 thread serged seam. It's good for knits that need seams to stretch with the fabric as the garment is worn, and at this price point it's not expected to be constructed with more reinforcement. You could run a safety stretch stitch along the sides or around the cap sleeve area if it's going to be worn often but be sure to use a ballpoint knit needle so as to keep from seeing puncture wounds (holes!) In the fine knit.I've seen some reviews complaining about the fabric; unless they received a different dress this cotton/poly blend is soft, comfortable and easy care. Hand wash in woolite or in a mesh laundry bag on the gentle cycle and it will wear nicely for a long time. I don't know what the expectations of the haters are, but seriously, for the price this is a sweet little dress that flatters and feminizes. I have a short torso and need petite sizing. This dress is not labled petite, but its fitting just as great. The armholes are not gaping, and the torso length fits just right from shoulders to waist. I've gained weight over the winter and it settled in my mid section and yet this dress gives me an hourglass silouette. It's a keeper.

I ordered this dress in an XL and got a black crop sweater for night time. It fits in all the right places. I love how it covers yet allows you to still feel sexy. I'm postpartum from having my daughter so I wanted something I could feel confident in. Just get the dress! Material is breathable with stretch. Length on point.

Cute but needs an undercover garment for sheer product since it is white

This is such a great piece for the price. Sizing was great pre-pregnancy, and even worked while I was pregnant. Perfect stretch for either. Washed well, wore well. Not see through, but light weight and breathable. Perfect to dress up or dress down.

I got the comment it looks like camo and I took it off. It was just screen printed and wasn't the greatest. The dress fit fine and would look nice if it was a different color.

So I absolutely love this dress. First, the fit is amazing. I was a little worried about the criss-cross top; for anyone with a larger chest, this can end up looking really strange if the "criss-cross" lies right across your bust. On this dress, it actually lies just above your bust, which is perfect: You don't end up with the line laying strangely, but also don't have to worry about gaping, or wearing a tank top underneath. Second, the midsection has a bit of ruching at the side, which is very flattering. There is also a side zip, which I wasn't expecting, that makes the dress super easy to zip up, and not likely to rip or stretch the way a similar "pull-over" dress would. The material is also super comfortable, the cap sleeves are really cute, and the length is perfect - I am about 5'5", and the dress hits me exactly at my knees. Overall, this is just a great dress to wear to the office, out for dinner, to a casual BBQ, to church... the list just goes on. Considering how hesitant I was to purchase this (but I just loved the pattern too much not to), I am ecstatic with this; in fact, I received compliments the very first time I wore it. For the price, I will be purchasing this same dress in several different patterns/colors!For reference: I usually wear a medium or a large, and opted for the large, as I wasn't sure about the stretch in the material. I probably could have gotten away with the medium, but the large is comfortable, not tight anywhere, and fits pretty perfectly. If you're on the fence about sizing, I would recommend sizing up.

This dress washes and dries well and doesn't need steaming. The fabric is soft and it is flattering overall. I wouldn't want to wear it without a jacket because the sleeves cut a bit high for my full figure arms. I wish it had pockets! I'm going to but it in more colors

Love this dress, great fabric lightweight summer dress. Love the colors so much! Nice fit and design.
