oxiuly Women'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.

Ok so this dress looks ok. I searched under “cruise wear” hoping to find something affordable. This is what I found for $32. The way the dress hangs in the picture I was expecting a thicker better quality material - especially since it has a zipper down the side. The material is a very thin t-shirt material. Why it has a zipper I have no idea. It is very stretchy. I got the purple one. I usually go for black but thought purple was a dark color and still look ok. So as I was trying it on I looked through the material. I could see everything in my bathroom. You could definitely not use it for a blind fold. That being said, I put a stretchy pair of shorts on under it and you could not see them. Maybe in bright light. If you have ever purchased a dress from NY and company that are of a knit material and on sale for around $10-$15, they are of a better quality and material than this one. I will keep this dress because it looks ok on, fits pretty true to size, and it’s just too much hassle to return. Not worth the money in my opinion

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.

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

Comfortable dress with soft material with a little stretch. This is Army Green in medium, and I'm 5' 3", 135lb, 36B. (I'm also 5 months pregnant so my belly may be showing a little more than usual, lol. But that also makes the comfort factor even more important!) Does show bra lines a bit but I don't care much about that but figure I mention in case it's important to you. As others have noted, materials listed on the tag say "60% viscose & 35% polyester" even though the listing says the material should be part cotton. So one star off for an inaccurate description.
