This dress is very cute. I’m quite petite so it’s not exactly a “mini” dress on me. It falls just above my knees which is exactly the way I like it. I love the way the rust color looks against my skin. The sleeves and the style are very 70s inspired. It looks like something my mom would have worn. Of course she loves it! I only have two real complaints about the dress which are fairly minor. One is, polyester doesn’t feel that great against my skin as cotton does and I’m not very fond of the ties in the back. I find myself fiddling and fidgeting with them a lot. If they weren’t there and the dress was allowed to fall naturally around my figure, I think it would be a lot more flattering on me. I’m wondering if there’s a way to remove them without ruining the dress. I’m considering taking it to a seamstress to have it done. I’ve tried adjusting the ties and they’re just unnecessary for me. I love the way the dress looks without the ties but it’s awkward to just let them dangle. I really wish the ties were an option instead of permanently sewn onto the dress. Please understand that this is just my opinion. Overall, I would recommend this dress.
