"I like the dress very much. Linen used is lovely. Worth the price."
"Incredibly comfortable and with pockets! I’m very excited about this dress."
"I wore this dress for the first time yesterday and received so many compliments - stopped by strangers at stores kind of compliments. Thank you for making such a flattering design!"
"Wonderful style for summer days and early fall-flowing fabric but still some nice shaping with the drawstring. Color was a bit more heavy cream, verging toward very pale yellow opposed to white but that was fine with me! Size was spot on and I am delighted! Thank you, Universal Standard!"
"Light a breezy but structured enough to have style. Easy to dress up or throw on for running around town. Linen has its drawbacks but it always drapes so well."
"This fabulous dress is free-flowing but also has definition with the wonderful drawstring at the waistline. The ink blot print is DRAMATIC. I love it! I read the garment dimensions and sized down from my usual medium to a small -- and that worked perfectly. So perhaps I should mark that it runs big, but it is exactly what I had envisioned at the smaller size."
"I've had my eye on this dress since it was released but couldn't bring myself to buy it at full price. US had a discount and I decided to go for it. Im 5'2" and weigh approximately 220lbs and I purchased the Small. It goes down to right above my ankles which is a little long but it doesn't touch the ground. I like the versatility of the cinched ties but probably won't play with them that much. I was surprised by how snug the sleeve cuffs were when buttoned but I wear them unbuttoned and rolled up, so it wasn't a deal breaker but I could see it being an issues for some others. Also the linen seems a little thinner quality than my older US linen pieces but still very lovely and will be a staple piece in my summer wardrobe!"
"I tried this item in two sizes and for the price I found the linen unfortunately sheer. Returned."
"I ordered this dress in the recommended size & it was absolutely huge. Not in a fashionable way, just way too big. I exchanged it for 2 sizes smaller & that fit much better (it was a little small), but this silhouette didn't work on my hourglass/apple-shaped body. The narrowest part sat too low down on me and it just hung like a sack. Returned."
"I bought the ink bloom dress and I have never been more in love. So, I bought the black and white versions. But the linen seems like a different fabric on the black and white. It’s so itchy and feels heavier somehow. I’m keeping them but I’m disappointed."
