"I love it! The color is great and it does feel good up against my skin. I don’t think I would pay full price because it is way above my budget however with a sale I will buy one or two more dresses when it is on sale. I would not buy this if you are under 5’4”. Note to company make this dress in a shorter length for us shorties."
"Bought 2 rich colors: teal and plum. Very pleased with fit and fabric — stretchy, mid-weight, and no slip needed. I hope the garments perform like my U. S. tee: launders well with no shrinkage or pillage. Note: no pockets."
"A little more blue than I was expecting for some reason. I like the long sleeves. The vneck worried me but it works just fine"
"Bought this in long sleeve, v-neck acai. The v-neck was too low- so low that it showed the bottom band of my bra! And yet, it was more form-fitting in other areas, waist and derriere, all at the same time. Extremely unflattering. Sizing up would help the snug areas, but then the v-neck might be to my navel! Also, I didn't realize you don't have free returns. I'll stick with Eileen Fisher from now on."
"I can’t believe they originally wanted to charge $168 for this T-shirt dress"
"This is my 4th Geneva dress. They are weirdly flattering, in a good way! They are comfortable and versatile. I'm sure it won't be my last Geneva."
"This a was a really disappointing purchase. The fabric feels like a plain a** tee shirt. I’ll keep them, but I won’t purchase anything from this company again."
"This dress is so stylish and comfortable! The fabric is flowy, and the way it gathers at the bottom adds so much style. I was concerned the bottom would cause the dress to hug my mid-section too much, but it didn't. This is an easy dress up or dress down dress I'll be wearing a LOT this season!"
"This dress is perfect. The fit is great and the material is soft but substantial. I'll be wearing this all the time. This was my first order with Universal Standard and I love everything."
"I love the color and want to love the dress. However, somehow I ended up with a smaller size than I needed. Since it was an “all sales final” category, I have put it aside until maybe I fit in it, but my estate may still find it when I pass."
