"Fabulous Dress!! The linen fabric feels wonderful on. The style of this dress is timeless. Pockets are an essential addition. Neckline is perfection (often necklines are too large). The dress is comfortable to wear all day and still looks good when meeting folks for dinner (add a scarf). The length was just right for me (I am 5’7”). Love this dress, my new favorite!"
"Perfect, fun, light, comfy, cool, just-throw-and-go summer dress. Usually, a caftan style like this, with a large print, might look like you're a grandma in Hawaii, but this dress is still sleek and simple enough to look modern instead of frumpy. I'm only 5 feet tall, so I did have to have a seamstress hem it. Would be great if US made PETITE sizes! Fit was generous, so I sized down. Having the actual garment dimensions on the website REALLY helps a lot when shopping online and trying to figure out which size would fit you best!"
"It has a cute pattern and it’s very lightweight for when it gets warm. I’m looking forward to wearing it."
"Have worn this 2x since it arrived; both times, I received multiple compliments. Deep color, wears well, linen not as heavy as come but not thin. Delivered quickly. I am 5’6” but it isn’t too long; have work both flat shoes and wedges with it. Pockets are roomy. Great buy."
"Love love love this in green. It's a proper loose dress with good lines, accommodating even wider hips like mine without being grossly oversized at the shoulder (not always true in US clothing, and I did pick the larger size I wear in US linen). It's ankle-length in that larger size on my 5'7" frame. The pockets, collar, and sleeves are appealing details, and the neckline is flirtatious. I embroidered a small insert and fashion-taped it into place to make the neckline more family-friendly when I attended a casual wedding, and I felt comfortable and stylish."
"Just received this along with another dress, my first order from US. I was skeptical about their sizing and ordered my usual 14/16 (US size small) as the fit guide said it runs true to size. It’s gorgeous in, and I love the weight of the fabric and pattern, but I feel like it actually runs slightly big. I work in resorts in FL so this is the perfect work outfit, can’t wait to wear it!"
"I’m very happy with the way this dress looks and fits, but after the first time I wore it the stitching on the pocket came out. This is the second time I’ve had a seam unravel on a linen dress from Universal Standard so it’s starting to feel like a pattern. For the price, I expect better construction."
"This linen dress is perfect: great color (the green), pockets that lay flat, comfortable, and great fabric that doesn’t have pet hair cling to it as much as other fabrics (I have two very large long haired white dogs and am normally dark color wary due to having to lint roll religiously). I am 5’8” and it hits me right above the ankles, so shorter folks might have to hem it a little, but it’s a perfect length for me. Got the size medium, I’m typically a size 18-20. 6 stars if I could!"
"I really wanted to try the stretch linen but I didn’t want a sleeveless dress. The polo color on this dress suited me. The roomy fit is what I expected. I’m short and I had to hem the dress but I expected that. The length would be ideal for 5’5 “ and up."
"My new favorite dress !"
