Women's Light Linen Simple Maxi Dress

First of all - this says “linen dress” - it’s not. It’s 100% rayonSecondly - I purchased this for $60. It came with the Nordstrom rack tag on which says $29.97Do yourself a favor and purchase elsewhere.

I tried this dress on last year and couldn't get it out of my mind, so I finally bought one for myself. Let me just say, I LIVE in this dress in the summer. Like, when I get home I put it on immediately. Like, every day. It's roomy, forgiving, comfortable, and actually long enough for my 5ft 10in body. The fabric has a natural gauzy texture which I adore, and it doesn't cling to me (does anyone else detest jersey dresses that show every bit of cellulite and underwear?!). I love this dress so much.But...There are two drawbacks that prevent me from wearing this outside in public. One: It's kinda see through in normal indoor lighting. People can see the exact underwear that I'm wearing. So that means that I definitely don't want to wear it out and about in sunlight or standing in front of something bright. Two: After 2 weeks the fabric at the seams down the dress have pulled about half an inch. The vertical threads have pulled away from the seam, so now all that's left is transparent horizontal threads. My guess is it's because I'm mostly lounging in it, so sitting causes a bit of stress on the back and side seams. Because I'm not able to wear this out in public I've given it 3 stars, which is really a shame because I'd have this dress in every single color, but I don't live anywhere near the beach and that's really the only place I'd wear something see through like this out in public, as a cover up.

I am 5'7, slavic built - 170ish lb on a good day, and D to DD in chest.. I fit in medium sizes on ocasion, but because of my chest size, I usually have to get L or XL... I was worried that M/L wouldn't fit, or will be too snug, but this dress is huge. I had to adjust shoulder strips to the max just to get it off the floor. I can fit about two fists on each side of my chest, and another half of me in the waist, so it is very loose. I wonder if I fit in the smaller size (gasp... S!), and how long that option is.. If you are smaller than me in any of the dimentions I mentioned and another dimention is not complementing the difference (ex: smaller boobs, but taller), you will most likely be stepping on/dragging M/L size without hills.I got it in "Olive." Have never seen olives of this color, but if olive and a blue pine ever had a baby, it would probably match..Fabric has a nice natural breathy feel to it, so it is a good summer dress.

It’s great for a around the house. This is officially my new eating dress. Only thing that sucks is you pay $50 on Amazon an can get these at Nordstrom rack for $25-29.

Even though the dress is described as "Linen", I knew from the the description that it was actually rayon and that was fine with me. What I didn't expect was it is a crinkle rayon fabric ... think those broomstick crinkle skirts. I don't know how someone would get any horizontal wrinkles out since the dress simple cannot be ironed - perhaps steaming. Also, the "Redwood" color is actually a rust color - very orangy-brown - not reddish at all. This dress is being returned.

I know I will wear this dress all summer. It’s perfect, and as expected. Not the best quality, but again-as expected per other reviews and the price. I don’t see that it comes in a x small, just small/medium. I am 5’8” 140#, and will have to have the dress altered. Way too big in the shoulders, arm pits and chest. Would be perfect w a lace bralette, but I want to go without. Very long, but I like that.

Love it and very comfy, but color is more Orange/henna than brick red— so 4 stars.

I want to love this so badly, but the pockets give the dress a really unflattering harem effect. I was able to pin them together under the dress which helped enough to make me decide to keep it. It also runs really large, so you may want to size down. I like oversized and flowy things, so it worked for me.
