hides the butt
Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2015
I love this dress! The material is good quality and breathes, the fit is perfect. I am short (5 ft) and the length is perfect. I love that the flair of the skirt starts higher up on the waist so it doesn't make my butt look huge (which it is but this hides it). I loved it so much that I bought another one the very next day!
Beautiful dress forgiving and flattering well made dresses!

I got Azalea in green and dark blue and Kevina in black, purple, turquoise and orchid. All but two are true to color in picture, the orchid is a very dark rich wine and the turquoise is a very deep dark saturated gorgeous color, love them all! I am 5'9" athletic build160lbs 38B, I wear size 10 to 12 and this fit perfect! I like that the waist hits at my most narrow point and it is very adjustable with the tie back and elastic back panel, looks great with a belt too. It is a very forgiving fit yet very flattering and sliming. I love the detail too, very nice quality for a great price on sale under 40.00! For refrerence, the L/XL measures about 19" pit to pit up un stretched, waist at the band about 17 across, length from shoulder to longest drop about 49", hope that helps! It has an elastic panel on the back for more give and ties. I washed 6 of these dress all together in a cold, hand wash cycle on a front load washer and hung to dry. Absolutely no color came out and no bleeding at all!I purchased style Azalea and Kevina, same dress only Azalea has a couple panels that are plaid while Kevina has a textured plain color in the same place. Same colors and Measured the same, each has a very slight variation because of elastic panel and lacing. All 6 feel exactly the same but 4 say 65/35 respectively cotton/rayon while the green and turquoise say 100% rayon, I see no difference in fabric look or feel. I would not put these in a top load style washer, hand wash if you don't have a front load washer. Love these!
I love this dress

I was hesitant to buy this dress when it said it fit such a wide range on sizes. I am petite and it is rare for me to find dresses that fit right out of the box and "one size fits all" never fit me. This one did. It is adjustable with the ribbon in the back and with the corset ties in front so that it will fit a variety of sizes. It fits like it's been tailored.It is also even more pretty in person than in the picture. The fabric is light and comfortable without being cheap or clinging. It was super wrinkled, when it arrived, but simply spraying it with water and laying it flat solved that.I ordered the dress for my brother's western-theme wedding but I can really wear it anywhere. I need another dress for another wedding this year. I will be going with Sakkas.
Beautiful dress and great quality!

This dress is beautiful to wear at the office, running errands or just lounging in at home. The workmanship is great, and I have purchased other Sakkas dresses and blouses after seeing the good quality. I have never been disappointed. I purchased this in the 1X-2X, and it fits me well. I'm 5'11" and 40D. I didn't have to adjust the laces much at all but you may want to consider going up a size if you're afraid of it shrinking. I washed this once so far in cold water, delicate cycle. I do not see any wear and tear from that process, and the color holds true without any bleeding.
Perfect summer dress!!

As this is a bit of a different style than my usual dresses, I carefully opened the package (in case I had to return it). What a pleasant surprise! It's a perfect summer dress!! I'm 5'1" and short-waisted so was very pleasantly surprised by the fit. The length looks nice with flat sandals as well as high heels. (If you're smaller than 8P, you might reconsider. It will probably be too large.)
Great Comfort and Boho Style

If you live in a warm climate, it's the kind of dress you can almost live in. It fits as expected and I love the way it drapes. Also I really like the way the bodice is tailored so that I can get away with wearing the dress without a bra and nobody knows but me--and that's with size C puppies. I like the freedom and never acclimated to the fashion of letting bra straps be seen which they might at times given the shoulder straps of this dress. The color is amazing and unique. I knocked off one whole star for not having pockets though, a wardrobe must nowadays since we slavishly carry our phones with us everywhere.
Love this dress! Photos are accurate.

I love this dress! It pretty much is exact to photos. Sizing and fit always worries me when ordering and I have had past issues with imported clothing being so small. I am 5'5", 120 lbs, small chested, ordered a S,M and it fits beautifully and comfortably with extra room. The tie helps with accentuating the waist....and if you tighten the string on the "corset" it will fit more snuggly. The arm holes are a bit big, but I could wear a bra without it showing and if I choose not to wear one I do not think the dress would "gap" to the degree of being embarrassing. I did notice when I sit though that the straps wanted to slide off my shoulders...so I might shorten. The hem reaches about 4 inches from ankles. Noticed a few thread ends and I am going to assume over time and washings there will be some unraveling as with other dresses I have had over the years similar to this. The dress is a wee bit heavier than I expected due to the extra embroidery on the skirt. This dress is lovely and made me feel feminine, but I like it being casual. I will probably buy another to have on hand............

absolutely amazing dress, I love it, it's very flattering. I'm a size 16. usually, and it fit perfectly. The colour is amazing, and I had lots of compliments the first time I wore it. Even my husband said it made me look slimmer, and he's rather direct! (exact words - you don't look fat in that).

Dress is beautiful. I went for turquoise and largest size I am a size 20. It fits bit quite tight if you are larger busted like me. Flattering wais and worth the purchase.
Cute dress but very poorly made. Very disappointing!

I bought this dress to replace a similar floaty green corset dress I had and wore regularly for 5 years. Although this dress is equally cute, its quality is far from expected. I wore this dress only three times during the course of a year. Now I find that the stitching on the crepe trim is almost completely undone. I thought to hand sew back the crepe trim, but the embroidery is also unraveling and there are loose threads everywhere. Even if I mend the crepe trim, the dress will far apart after one more wear!

Absolutely lovely dress, love it and can't wait to wear it. The length is shorter than the picture shows, which is better for me anyway. It looks far more expensive than it was, I guess careful washing will keep it good. I am a size 8-10 and bought size s/m the size range is very broad, so there's some gaping under the arms, but that's better than being pinched, and a few stitches will put it right. It arrived incredibly quickly.

This was the second dress I ordered as the first was a little too tight, this one was also returned as it was not like the one I originally ordered it had sleeves which I didn't like. However the dresses them selves were really lovely, well made, beautiful material, very easy to wear, I would definitely recommend this seller, very good value for the money.
