First, let me say this is a very cute dress, and I did *not* return it...though I'm not sure where I'll wear it other than the beach. It's a very ""poufy"" dress, and quite unlike any other SWAK dress I have. It's supposed to be crinkly and free flowing I guess, but when I put it on, I felt like it was a bit too casual -- it sort of feels like that gingham/crinoline shirt you had years ago that was great in the summer heat but slightly uncomfortable under any other circumstances. The fit was fine, but in terms of taking it on vacation, it's likely a local thing only -- the dress still stays poufy when folded.

I love this dress so dearly!! Just received it today and it's close to 90*F here in my part of NW Canada. It's so light and breezy and cool, I've felt so good in it all day!! I don't usually wear anything too bright but this is just perfect! Thank you!!

I bought this dress for myself and for a friend. We both love the Soleil dress! The colors are beautiful and the fit is great.

I got this dress in a 5X the purple color. I ordered according to the measurements and they were pretty accurate, I usually wear a 26/28. I love the material and the color and the embroidery. I DON'T love how small the bust area is. When worn normally I have ALL OF THE CLEAVAGE I end up pulling it up a bit and then it hangs kind of weird... I don't mind some cleavage but the bust area on this dress is very small. I'm not sure yet if I want to keep the dress but it's my own fault, others did say the bust is small and I decided to buy it anyway lol. So overall I'm in love but probably better suited for DD or smaller breasts.

I bought this in the turquiose, in a 5x based on size chart. The bottom part of the dress and the sleeves fit fine (thank you for not making the elastic too tight!). However, the bust of the dres is a slight issue for me. I am not particularly large-busted (C/D cup), but there was BARELY enough fabric to not be flashing the goodies at everyone. It's almost like when the pattern was sized up, it made the top section longer but didn't really add much fabric in the front....I like the style of the dress, and the colors are pretty. I just wish the top didn't make me self-conscious. (Also - I have had this problem in the past with the sabrina maxis and some of the other tank-style dresses....they're SO low-cut in person, but they don't look that way on the model.)

I absolutely LOVE this dress! I ordered the Magenta and love the vibrant colors. The fit is pretty true to size according to the size chart, BUT the elastic is a bit more loose than I thought it would be. I usually wear a 22/24 but ordered the 4X because of the chart measurements. I could have ordered a size down. Still, it looks great and fits well overall. If you have a smaller bust, you should definitely be good ordering a size down. I'm 5'9"" and it came to right below my knees. Also, the gauze lining seems thin, but I didn't need a slip underneath.

I thought the dress was cute online, but cute doesn't do it justice. It's an adorable dress for these warm Spring days. I can't wait to wear it
