Pretty and unique dress!

"I really like this dress - I ended up ordering another one in another color. The linen is a finer linen, not super thick, but it is very smooth and drapes perfectly. The cut is very flattering, and I've had tons of comments on how pretty this dress is. The neckline and straps minimize the look of bra straps, especially if you wear a similar color bra. You definitely don't need to stress about which bra to wear, only a small amount of strap shows (well, at least on short me, who wears the straps at almost the shortest point, I suppose it could be different for taller people). Speaking of short people, I'm 5'2" and I need to wear a slight platform heel unless I want to hem this dress. Otherwise it will brush on the floor. I'm sure tall people love it, because it truly is a maxi dress length. Great design and execution. I have already worn both of these dresses multiple times in various ways. Very happy with my purchase. Oh, and on sizing, I usually wear 16-18, so I was technically between S and M. I ordered the smaller size, and was a little worried because I have a bigger chest, but the S fit perfectly."

Love the drape of this

"Love the drape of this one! Length is also good and I'm nearly 5'11". I was worried I'd have to wear a strapless bra with it, but the straps are just thick enough and well placed to avoid that. The print is gorgeous and it will be nice and airy for hot southern summers."

Disappointed in overall quality

"I’m so mixed on how I feel about this dress. If I keep it I’ll have to make the straps longer. I think I’m probably right between and xs and a s, the xs fits and doesn’t look tight, but I’d like a little more flow. I LOVE the pattern, but for $173 (I got it on sale) I’m surprised by how thin the fabric is and it’s unlined, you can definitely see through the white parts. The fabric is not soft and the little detailing around the armholes is stiff and uncomfortable. Honestly I’m pretty disappointed, at this price point I expected a lot more. If I’d gotten this for around $100, I’d keep it and lengthen the straps, but I don’t think I can justify keeping it just because I love the pattern. Really bummed. For reference I’m 5’9”, 220lbs, and usually wear a L in dresses. My measurements are a near perfect match on the size chart for size 12, but because this dress is 10/12 it feels like it’s slightly too small and the 14/16 slightly too big."

Easy, Breezy, Beautiful!

"I love the neckline cut, it makes me feel so beautiful, and the fabric is so breezy and fluttery!!! Can't wait to wear this for my friend's wedding in July! It is a little long for my 5'4" frame, so keep that in mind!!"

Can't Wait.

"Beautiful Dress. Fits Well, and I can't wait to be at the wedding. However, the orange is much more sherbert orange than I expected. Which will work well for me. But I did second guess myself."

Excellent dress. Great fabric, love

This dress is SOOO PRETTY

"This may sound silly but it makes me feel gracefully. This dress is not just for hot days. Can easily work for an evening out. I really appreciate the pockets."

Quality dress - first purchase!

"This is the first time I've ordered from Universal Standard, though I've been on their mailing list since they launched. I typically don't spend that kind of money on my clothes. I saw a review of this black, linen maxi dress, though, and had to have it. I'm so glad I ordered it. The quality is really excellent. The cut is beautiful. It just flows off my body and has real weight to it. Good length too! Going to be a fabulous dress for Pride! Thank you!"

Absolutely in Love with this Dress

"This is my first experience with US and I am beyond happy with the dresses I bought. I got the Limoncello print and it is gorgeous and feels gorgeous wearing it! Bring on summer! I also bought a cami dress which I also love, but this kite dress has me wowed. Please make more color and print options."
