Highly recommend the green!
The green is gorgeous! To what other reviewers have said, this dress is so light and breezy and comfy for spring and summer but that also makes me think white might not be a good idea without a slip. The embroidery is so pretty. You do have to watch for loose threads after watching and drying but it still looks great, just be careful and don’t leave it in the dryer too long and maybe use a lower setting and turn it inside out. I agree with the reviews that this may not be good for bustier women- I don’t see the small being comfortable on anything bigger than a B cup with how high the elastic is. The fabric is great, the arms aren’t too tight which I had wondered about. If you are 5’6 or taller it hits at the knee after being washed but will be more like a midi for the shorter gals. All in all a great purchase! Lots of compliments.

Beautiful dress with real embroidery. Excellent choice for Mexican themed party.
The stress is super cute on and comfortable. The quality is surprising based off of the price. The dress is really nice! It has real embroidery and is overall very flattering. Some people were commenting that it is see-through, but I didn't find that to be true at all, at least not with the black one that I ordered. The material isn't too thin at all. I would highly recommend! I am 5'6", 165lbs, 36D chest and medium fit me perfectly.

Order size with care
I rarely write reviews but I have a few observations to share that might help other buyers. For the price this is a wonderful dress. I ordered the green dress in size small. #1): beautiful dress FOR THE PRICE. The fabric is more substantial than I expected, but would show profile in sunlight. The machine embroidery is really lovely, but there are a few spots that will ultimately ravel & benefit from a little attention with a needle and thread. Re size: I am 5 ft tall, bust 39". Lower part of dress very forgiving for hips & waist. Length hit about mid-calf. Fit perfectly, but after I carefully hand washed in cold water & air dried the bodice (including sleeves) of the dress shrank a full size. I did NOT notice an appreciable amount of shrinkage in length. Amazingly, the vivid green color did not fade or transfer onto other fabrics (I included old towel in the wash to check on this characteristic). To remedy shrinkage I rinsed the dress in cold water and then patiently stretched the sleeves and bodice several times as it dried; was able to get it back to virtually original size. I am so pleased with the dress that I will order another in a light blue, but will size up to a medium. If you purchase inexpensive clothing on Amazon that is made in other countries, then extreme variations in fabric quality and characteristics should be part of your expectations. If the blue one arrives & fabric behaves in a totally different way I will not be surprised. I purchased this dress because I like to go outside first thing in the morning to take care of my garden; wanted something no-fuss to throw on & still look presentable in the warmer months but a notch above a "muumuu" or caftan. This dress is perfect for that, but is nice enough to wear to a casual gathering or even a special occasion with the right accessories {or natural good looks that lend themselves to a boho style:) }.

Cute dress
This a cute around the house dress. I bought it in medium but it seems to run a bit large. I kept it anyway, it's a bit loose but very comfortable. I always receive compliments when I wear it.

Pretty and so comfortable.
I bought two of these dresses and haveHad them for over 2 years. They have held up surprisingly well with the blue one having a small hole. I love that they’re cotton and look great for all body types. I have worn these for both maternity and non-maternity dresses. Will probably buy them again due me staining them.

Beautiful embroidery, unflattering fit for curvy
The embroidery is beautiful, the colors, the details. The fabric is medium thick, not sheer, comfortable.The fit… I am 184lbs and 5’6” with a little post preggo belly and curvy hips, curvy bottom. If the elastic around the waist had been flat, this probably would have fit much better. But because it was bunched, it was uncomfortable and moved around when I walked (it would bunch the fabric into a bubble so I had to keep pulling it down). So for my body the dress was too baggy. Perhaps if they had an XL it would’ve fit better, but the only option was an L.Another thing: the sleeves do not have elastic and the embroidered cuff is not stretchy. So if you have larger arms, it will be tight.I really wish this dress was a better fit - I was looking for something ethnic for Easter and this would have been beautiful.Please consider making a different style with a flat waist (or no waist at all) for us curvy girls!

Just buy it.
I freaking LOVE this dress! Found it on prime day and took a risk (there weren't many reviews). I'm 4'11", so it's a little long on me, but I don't even care. I just wear it with wedges usually and it's fine. The material is very light and soft, and the embroidery is a beautiful detail. The ruffles on the sleeves and hem are adorable. My only complaint, and it's a tiny one, is that the bust is a little large on me and gaps open a bit. So I just wear a camisole under it and everything is fine. Just be careful washing/drying it. Its probably better being hand washed because of the embroidery, but I threw mine in the washer and it was okay, just a few loose threads. However I would not suggest putting it in the dryer. It did shrink a tiny bit around my shoulders and arms. It still fits comfortably but it's a smidge tight. I bought the navy one, and now that I'm gushing about how much I love it, I may need to get one in another color. Buy the dress. You won't regret it.

Sent used dress
It is a very beautiful dress and fits perfect. However, it arrived already worn by someone. It had strong perfume odor and sweat odor from under the pits of a dress. Totally disgusting. At least before you send a reused dress wash it!! I’m washing it right now upon arrival, hoping that someone else’s body smell goes away.
