Rated 5 out of 5 Great carefree dress for work or casual wear
I am 5'5'' and weigh 140lbs with a 34D chest. I purchased this dress in a small knowing that J.Jill sizes usually run a bit roomy. This dress fit perfectly. It has an A-line design that gives it shape and conquers that "sack of potatoes" look.The length was great as well-- not too long or short--just skimming my knees, which is perfect because I am in my early fifties, in pretty good shape, but don't like anything too short. I receive a lot of compliments, even from strangers, when I wear this dress. I love it so much I ordered three more in other colors. I have worn it with a light sweater, also a short jacket, and also a belt to give a more tailored appearance. But I also love wearing it just as it is. This dress is perfect for carefree summer dressing. It is the perfect lightweight summer dress that I have wanted and needed for a while now. Glad I finally found it!

Rated 4 out of 5 Really like this print.
Very comfortable. Usually wear medium, however small fit very well. Only complaint is that it wrinkles a lot, but I knew it would because on linen. Too bad J Jill couldn't have made this in a different fabric. I get lots of compliments!

Love linen, hate ironing. This is the first linen dress I ever had I can actually wear without pressing. The print caught my eye, but the cut of the armhole sold me on the dress. Sounds strange, but as a former seamstress, fit is very important to me.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Sweetdjsmom Beautiful Fabric, but runs LARGE!
I fell in love with this dress the minute I saw it on the cover of my catalog. I love linen and the print and colors were beautiful. The added plus is having hidden pockets! Unfortunately, it didn't fit me.
I am 5'4", 120 pounds. I ordered a Petite Small, which fit in the length, but overall it was just too large. I tried on the Misses' XS and the shoulders were too small and pulled. Unfortunately, I am somewhere between sizes! Sadly, this dress is going back. I am not small chested, but the dress just wasn't right for me.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Ejm525 Way too big
I had high hopes for this dress. It looked so good on line but had to return it because it was very large - even though I ordered a size smaller than my usual size,

Rated 5 out of 5 by Roann This dress is extremely comfortable
The dress, I found, is extremely well made, cool and comfortable to wear. It is exactly the thing for a warm evening out.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Josette54 comfortable fit.
I would recommend this to anyone considering buying a simple dress. Easy to slip on and with a pair of leggings can be worn just about anywhere.

Rated 3 out of 5 by jaybe The linen and print was wonderful
i sent this dress back because I ordered a small and it was clearly marked wrong . It was too large. I was disappointed because I needed this dress for a wedding.
