"The fabric was buttery soft with great drape. The quality was far beyond normal jersey fabric. It felt very rich. I loved the tie at the back of the neck. The nipped in waist was very flattering. I tried the V neck and round neck and found I preferred the V."
"Great dress! I think I could have ordered an XS, but I got a S. A dress I'll wear for many years to come!"
"Very pretty and the fabric is divine. It is so elegant for summer evening date nights."
"I love the Universal Standard brand and about 80% of my wardrobe are pieces that I have brought over the years. This dress, though I like the print, did not fit me, AT ALL. There is piece of cloth in the front of the dress that just flops out. The drape is terrible on me and unless I wear a minimizing bra, will never wear comfortably. I am so disappointed but of my many, many purchases, this one was a dud."
"I wanted to take advantage of the wonderful sale Universal Standard was having and bought this dress. I'm going on a road trip and wanted something easy to pack (check), looks fantastic (check), fits like a dream (check) and can be dressed up or down with accessories. This dress has everything I want and will make my vacation special!"
"This dress is comfortable and extremely flattering. I get compliments everytime I wear it. Great for work in a not too formal environment, casual and evening."
"I have mixed feelings about the Havana Dress. The fabric is comfortable, but the structure of the dress makes it fall oddly on my body - bunches up too much at the waist and back, and droops down at my chest. I wish it did not have that bit of lining/extra material at the front and back of the neckline. It will not stay flat, no matter how much I iron it down. I bought it in two sizes (XS and S; I normally wear a S) and run into these issues with both!"
"Great pattern and amazing silhouette. I love the quality of Universal Standard. But nothing beats the thoughtful way they cut their dresses. I feel amazing in it."
"This dress is super flattering on my hourglass plus size body, and I own it in three colors. I wanted to buy some repeats since I am wearing out the ones I have -- but my size is sold out in every color."
"I received this in a mystery box in green (how did US know it was my favorite color?). This jersey midi dress is so comfortable and can be dressed up for work or kept more casual for a dinner. The waist for once does not hit me right under my chest due to a long torso. It DRAPES beautifully. The details of the front slit which is not too high makes it special. I wish it came in more colors other than black. Another win from US."
