How To Wear It

I actually love it!
I know that this has mostly negative reviews, but I actually love this dress. It’s supposed to be loose and flowy, like the rest of the Festi line. It’s amazing for those days that you feel bloated and blah. It has like a straight a line cut from the bust down. It’s a beautiful color and super frilly. For days that you want more definition, you can add a nice brown leather belt to pull it in. It looks fantastic with boots! I actually bought it twice, since it’s so cheap and I’ve lost weight. I have it in a 00. I’m 5’6”, 185 lbs. I normally wear a 00-0 in dresses, 00 in Harper’s, 10-12 in jeans. If you like a boho, flowy, feminine dress, try it! It’s less than the price of a footlong Subway sandwich right now!

So cute and flowy!
I love this dress! I got so many compliments while wearing it. I styled it with a leather belt and boots.

It Runs Big, order down!
I totally agree that this item runs extremely big. I regularly wear a Torrid 1, maybe depending on the type of shirt a 2(i have very large upper arms for my body size). So I heeded the advice and ought a 00.it fits amazingly and while a little longer than pictured on the model, it still hits right above my knee. For reference I wear a size 14/16 in pants. I am 5'7" and 200lbs.

Too big and no shape
The dress is very big and has no shape. I am 5'11, 255lbs. I could have ordered a size or 2 smaller. The length is good for me, which might be long on a shorter person.

Beautiful fabric,fit odd
I bought this about two months ago. I ended up returning it. I loved the fabric-design&color was beautiful! But the fit was definitely two sizes too big. I'm 220lbs 5'4" & usually wear size 1. So I ordered size 1. Def could've went w/a size 00 though. I tried it on&it fit very loosely, as Festi does. But I was NOT crazy about the neck/front of the dress. Felt awkward w/the super long strings&was very very low cut for me if left untied. Looked strange on me whether strings were tied or not tied. I was sad to decide on returning this dress. I know it would look great on someone-just not on me. I have a very short torso area, so I think that was partly the problem. The ruffles were a little overwhelming, fabric just flowing everywhere lol- but equally beautiful at the same time-probably just a great look on someone else, I'm sure..just not me.

Pass on this one
Well, the colors are beautiful.This dress was awful , returned it immediately. Doesn't look anything on like in the picture. I size down and it's still huge, it hangs so bizarre.I'm short and it still came past my knees.

I loved this dress in pics. One sleeve was loose and longer than the other. The material is like dry paper that you can hear when the wind blows. If it was made with better material, it would be perfect

Ruffled Potato Sack
I usually wear a size 2 (I wear a 20) so that's what I ordered with this dress. First thing I noticed was that it was considerably big (size down if you decide to order). It does not fit like it does on the model. I understand we all have different body types but this dress comes nowhere close to the advertised image. The only part that was OK was the sleeves. The rest of the dress was an oversized potato sack (zero shape) and it was considerably longer than it appears on the model (and I'm 5'10"). I think this dress could have potential if they made some adjustments (I.e. shortened it a bit, maybe take it in at the waste a little, or some darting to give it a little shape). As is, I looked like a ruffled sack of potatoes. My daughter joked that I liked like the grandma from Encanto lol

No Shape
Just got this in and I sized down. Looks like a sack on me. No shape to it at all and it just hung on me. Disappointed
