"This is one of my favorite dresses"





This dress is amazing! I love the quality of the material and its pod keys are very deep. It does run large though so I would recommend the next size down.

"Such a lovely color! Reminds me of tropical sea."





I actually bought two of this style dress in different colors. Beautiful batik material. Loose and comfortably cool to wear in hot sticky weather. Well made and pockets too! I have a large bust and it is hard to find a good fit. This works for me and the coverage i.e. modest. Please consider other color in this style. A very nice shopping experience. Recommend it!

"Fits Perfectly, Colors wonderful"





The fabric is really soft and has beautiful colors. I ordered an XL because I like the flow in the heat of Florida. Underarms are cut perfectly and do not gap and to have pockets is an added bonus. Highly recommend. Seams, etc. are nicely sewn.
Best Uses
- Daytime and dinner

"Beautiful"





Bright & cheery, light with good airflow. Didnt give them a 5 star due to the ear straps being so large- required a bit of modification.
