perfect for petites
When I first saw this dress online I wasn't completely in love . It looked too much like an overpriced apron to me. However, in person, this dress is swoon-worthy and has a definite Parisian/vintage flair. The pattern is adorable and not see-through (which is sometimes a problem for white clothing). The sweetheart neckline is very flattering and the straps are removable. I tried on size 0 and it runs TTS to slightly on the smaller side especially near the bust. I am 34A and usually sized out but this dress fit me perfectly and it actually made it look like I have curves. I would say if you are larger-busted (above B cup) to size up. Also, did I mention this dress has pockets? You can't really tell from the product photos but the pockets are more noticeable in real life (see 2nd pic).

Great fit, cute print
I finally found this in one of the local stores in my area. I was hesitant to order it online as there were not yet any reviews. This dress is great! First, the fabric is similar to the bike lane dress....sort of a vintage feel, and thick enough so that even though it is light in color, it is not see through at all. The halter strap buttons on and there are two button holes so you can make it tighter or looser depending on your needs. Personally, I think the halter makes this dress. I thought the skirt was less full than it appeared online. I am usually between a 2 and 4 in dresses and I took this in a 2. The back has a good amount of elastic and the fit is extremely figure flattering.

Totally adorable!
I was so happy to find this in store, and brought back my normal size 4 and 6 to try on. The size 4 was a better fit, although be warned that the top is a snug fit. Although I could have worn either size, the 6 left too much room around the mid-section where you really want a more fitted look. I really liked the slimmer cut of the skirt area, which is much more flattering for a shorter person. Also love the adorable pattern and plan to wear with a navy sweater or jacket for work. The length was just fine for my petite frame. Don't plan on doing any alterations on this. For ref, 36A-26-36, apx #117.

Loved everything but the pockets!
I absolutely loved the adorable postage stamp print, but it's not for everyone. I found it whimsical and preferred it to the bike lane dress print, but everyone will have her own preference. I have tried on multiple versions of this sillhouette from Girls from Savoy, but this one definitely fit best. The material is a bit different from the Bike Lane Dress--a bit sturdier/thicker/heavier. I actually preferred the material less, but on the positive side, this version of the dress fit me perfectly. With previous versions, I felt that I had to wear the halter strap or the dress would fall down. This one fit snugly, but not too tight (aided by the fact that it has elasticized sides). My only complaint is the visible pockets. If I recall, the Bike Lane Dress had hidden pockets which did not ruin the lines and aesthetic. I may still consider this dress because of its great fit--wonderful for small chested and slender women--but not crazy about the visible pockets.

Tres chic
I generally am drawn to quirkier, whimsical things, so I immediately wanted this dress. I'm short, really petite and have small legs, so dresses can be hit or miss. The fit was perfect, but I ended up getting the dress hemmed to be shorter, which actually, I think, made the dress even more flattering and proportional. I also have a small chest and wish I could go bra lass, but the fabric still is too see-through and doesn't really lend itself to that. It's a really cute, fun and flirty dress. I wish I could wear it every day.

bonjour!
This dress is great on so many levels.
I love the fit. It's very flattering to the waist and bust without being overly revealing. The zipper is very easy to use; I have another dress from this brand from last year with the same zipper and I have never had any problems with it catching.
The color/ pattern is so cute; bright and sunny for the warm weather season.
This is super comfortable to wear.

Gorgeous dress
The fit is amazing, I was worried because I am a 34 c cup and I have a small waist, also it is cotton and I was worried that it would shrink after washing so while I wear a size 6, I bought the 8 washed it and it is a perfect fit. Just beautiful...
Get this dress, it is classic and feminine and you will look beautiful!

Sincerely Flattering!
I originally purchased the dress in size 4, my normal anthro size. I am 5'9, 138 lbs, 34 C, somewhat long and lean. The size 4 was too snug in the bust and the halter strap was about 1/2 inch too short on both sides, i.e. it cut in to my neck. I exchanged the size 4 for the size 6 and its now perfect! Fits all the curves just right and no more choking at the neck. It has room in the booty and hips and is comfortable and totally appropriate for work with a cardigan and flats. Its not too low cut, hits about knee length and the stretch built in to the dress allows for comfort when sitting and eating. Its such a flattering dress and the print is just beautiful and so unique! I agree with others, if this style came in multiple patterns, I would purchase all of them! Bonus of course, pockets :) I highly recommend this dress! I am a frequent anthro shopper and many of the dresses are too short on me due to height, this was great and in California, could be worn through all seasons.
