I was very worried after reading some of the reviews that mentioned inconsistency in sizing (not true to size) and fabric. I bought about 8 of the dresses and the colors are rich...LOVE how the dress has a bit of thin elastic that goes under the breasts and fabric that folds over the chest. Appears to be higher quality jersey fabric (light/medium thickness). Just enough tailoring under the breast area to offset the skirt portion to give it that drapey/flowing look down to the feet. I love a maxi that is a bit long, and this dress does run long. I am 5 foot 6, 157 lbs and the Large fit just fine. I think with washing it may shrink just a little but I will hang the dress up after wash to prevent over shrinking (which I don't really think will happen) I tried on each dress and there was great consistency in fit and look. I would highly recommend this as a casual or pregnancy dress...may even work for dress up. I wouldn't, though, pay less for it. I think it's more worth the the money, I got it on during the winter sale. Good value for the money!

I would normally wear a medium but this dress is sized larger than normal. I will need to order a small for it to stay in place.

The new mint color is beautiful! The length was long I am 5'5 and I had to get 3 inches taken off the bottom! I just received the black color and the length was perfect as ordered. The dresses are very comfortable and flattering.

I'm 5'8, 130lb, and a 32E. I ordered the Eggplant in an XS, and the top fits perfectly. I would have preferred to have ordered the Small for a little longer length, but the dress is absolutely beautiful. It has truly converted me into a maxi dress fan. It's just a bit strange with the sizing.

Ugh, whoever said to get an XS if you have 36B bust or bigger is crazy! If you have 36B or bigger, an XS is extremely tight! I can barely breathe because it's constricting my chest so much. I'm definitely moving up to a S. I'm surprised at some of the reviews here recommending that, because I took the reviewers' advice before ordering. Will wear a strapless bra under it as well (too thin if you get cold) and will fold it up so it's not dragging on the floor. So a small is definitely in order, which is my regular size anyway.

These dresses are really trendy right now. Personally, I'm not a huge fan because I think they make even the smallest people look heavy but I still wanted one to wear this summer. The material is really SOFT and more durable (thicker/heavier) than I expected which is nice. It is really long so you'd have to get it hemmed if you're short like me. I found it a little loose up top so if you're not chesty you might want to consider ordering a size down.

I first ordered this dress in the coral, a beautiful color. But the material is very thin and I have a rather large derriere that you could see all my lumps and bumps. If you have the same problem as me and have a slip or some Spanx you should be fine. I ordered the jade color (also a beautiful color) instead hoping the darker color will hide my imperfections. Well the jade color was a lot shorter than advertised. The coral color went down to the floor, I'm 5'11", but the jade color was an awkward length that fell to the top of my feet. I measured it and the length was 48" long. I thought it was just that dress since sometimes they are made a bit differently. I returned that one for a different jade dress with the same problem. It looks like not all the dresses are made the same. Buyer beware if you are tall like me, luckily Zappos is amazing. I haven't decided yet what I am going to do.

I wore this dress to a destination wedding in Bermuda and I really liked this dress a lot. I am 5'6" and 140 pounds and would describe myself as having a pear-shaped, athletic body. Although this dress was comfortable, I ordered a medium and wish I had ordered a small because it was slightly too long to wear flat sandals with and was so flowy it didn't give me much of a shape. The material is soft and I know I will definitely keep this dress as a casual, go-to summer dress, but I wish it had given me more of a shape.

I purchased this as a dress but cut it down for a maxi because my breasts are too large. It is a summer smash!

Love this dress! I am taller and this is still long enough to wear with heels. I have actually bought this dress in a few colors and always get so many compliments. The only thing I would say about the green is it's a bit see through. I would recommend a slip or wear something underneath. Other than that, I love it!

Very comfortable dress. I do agree with the comments on the length, it was a bit long for me if wearing flats. I'm 5ft 7.5.

I ordered this dress in the green and the black. The green (extra small) was beautiful and fit perfectly! It is a great length with wedges. It is the exact same dress in the black only came to mid-calf which is shorter than a petite size. I had to return it.

I got the dress in mint green and love it, the only issue is that the dart in the breast area has a long string running from it that should have been clipped before sewing it together. I sent one dress back and got a second hoping it was a one-time issue, but the second dress has the same strings. Depending on where they lie, it can make you look like a nipple is there--which no one wants. But I love the dress, so may cut a tiny hole in the inner seam to poke scissors through and cut that thread myself. I'm guessing this is more noticeable on the lighter color fabrics. But again...loved the dress, and might wear it for my wedding welcome party on the beach.

I ordered this dress in mint size medium and lavender sizes small and medium. Normally I am 5'8", 130 and a 34b but right now I am 8 months pregnant and weigh 165 and a 34c. The lavender small is too small. The mint medium is perfect up top but too short. Weird as the lavender small is longer. The lavender medium is perfect. Fits nice up top and is long. Would drag if I didn't wear platforms. I am disappointed about the mint medium being so short. Both mediums hung side by side shows a 3 inch difference in length. Did I get an irregular mint medium? Sending back for an exchange hoping is was a fluke. Overall, this is a nice, thin, drapey, casual dress. I plan on wearing it to my baby shower next week.

Beautiful, drapey dress. Material is wonderful. However, this dress runs really big and long. I normally wear a size 6 in dresses, sometimes a 4. And I wear a 36A bra size. I ordered the XS and it is huge on me. Just walking around the house I had to keep pulling the top up. It would be much nicer if this had a tie halter strap. Also I am 5'4" tall and this is at least 3-4 inches too long. I thought about having it hemmed and having the tailor take the extra material and make a halter strap out of it, but decided against that. If not for the sizing issues, I definitely would have kept this, and maybe order more in other colors. BTW, I ordered the green and it is very pretty, especially with a tan.

This is a basic maxi dress - it fit will, I am 5'7, 125 lbs 34A and the small fit me well - it looked OK on me as is, but I added a belt high on my waist and it totally changed the look and made it much better. I'm excited to wear it this summer, it is very comfortable and soft.

Very comfortable and flattering. Royal blue color is beautiful. I am pretty small on top though (32 A/B), and it does slip down a little. It's OK to wear as long as I'm not doing anything too too active...

I love this dress and am actually wearing it while I type this. The only thing I would recommend is get it a size smaller than your regular size. I am hoping to shrink mine in the dryer! Other than that the color is sport on and the dress is super comfy.

Really a beautiful dress. I wore this for my Sunday Funday birthday, and again yesterday for mothers day brunch. A beautiful dress that can be dressed up or down. I am 5'8'' and 135 an a 32B and ordered a small and it fits perfectly.

I ordered this dress in black, royal, and coral. I normally wear an XS or a S so I ordered both sizes to try on. The XS fits best, I have a 32D bust. Coral was much brighter than pictured and a bit sheer so I returned it. Royal is also brighter than pictured, but it's blue so it's not too bad. Black is, well, black. There is a HUGE size difference between the colors. The black is baggy and hits the floor, I have to tug it up pretty regularly. The royal is much smaller and (to my dismay) it NOT floor length, but rather ankle length. The black and royal fit the bust snuggly, but are not very tight. The coral was very snug in the bust and did not slide down, and it was floor length. The coral had the best fit of all 3, but the color was atrocious in person. Given the size and color discrepancies in this dress, I would recommend that you order difference sizes and colors and contact Zappos for an exchange if they don't work out.

Lovely shade of green, very light weight and flowy - very comfortable. It's also very long - I'm 5'7 and definitely have to wear heels with this - even in my espadrilles it's grazing the floor. Looking forward to wearing it this summer.

As many reviewers indicated, this dress is gorgeous, soft and cozy but all over the map regarding the sizes and lengths. My initial order included Royal Blue Size SM - it was perfect; Orange Size MD (only size available) - it was way too long and generally felt like a large - sent it back; Purple Size MD Petite - strange color and too short-sent it back; Dark Gray Size MD - a little long but was able to roll the top over as someone had suggested - beautiful color; Royal Blue Size MD Petite - perfect all around. I also subsequently ordered the Gabriella Rocha Crochet Maxi Dress in Burnt Orange Size SM after seeing that the length (51") was between the 53" regular and the 49" Petite in the other dresses above. It was a perfect fit and length. The crochet topped dress was a little more expensive but I really wanted the orange color for summer. It is worth it if you can find the length that works for you. I am 5'6 1/2" 145lbs, 36C and generally wear a size M, size 8-10 in pants. Will enjoy wearing these all summer long with a little shrug when needed. Lighter colors are more see-through, darker colors hide everything. Is a good look for most body types-very feminine, casual but elegant. I have been a Zappos fan for years. It is their generous VIP, both-ways free shipping policy that makes it possible for us to order multiple sizes/colors, try things on in our homes, and ultimately keep what works for us and send back what doesn't. Thank you to this company. I will continue to do business with you for many years to come.

I got the mustard color which is true to its name...I was hoping for more of a sunny yellow color like the picture. I'm 5'8 at 150 lbs and got the small, it fits great but it is a little long (does not bother me but may bother others). Perfect for wearing with wedges but would sweep the floor in flats. Overall its a great maxi, but I think it is a little overpriced for what it is.

I have this dress in both mint and black and I absolutely love it. It is perfect to dress up for weddings or other formal things but when you put it with flats and chunky jewelry it is perfect to just wear whenever you want. If I was not a poor college kid, I would have one in every color!
