GRECERELLE Women's Maxi Dress Summer Casual Loose Side Split Short Sleeve V Neck Floral Long Dresses with Pockets, XX-Large

I love these Maxi-dresses SO much! I ordered additional ones in different prints as they are SO DANG comfy! GREAT things: - wonderful stretch without being sheer - soft fabric (rayon spandex mix) - I'm 5'6" and these are JUST long enough without being too long, I can wear flip flops or even a 2-3 inch wedge and it works with these dresses - sexy but not trashy 'side slits' are a perfect height to be 'breezy' and 'sexy' AND still CLASSY! I wear the printed styles to work! - NO SEAM at back! I've gotten some others on Amazon & they tend to have a SEAM (usually across the back horizontally) - for a curvy gal this seam is AWFUL and NOT flattering ***the GRECERELLE has been the only Rayon-Spandex mix I've tried that does NOT have that awful seam** ALSO - the fabric print is not 'shiny' or overly thick, it's a lighter weight soft stretchy-rayon blend. What you Need to know! - These run LARGE.....I'm 5'6" and curvy with bum/hips at 160lbs. I usually wear a Med or Large....in these dresses I wear a MED for work-appropriate (a little room, not tight but not overly large, fits well!). BUT, I got a Small AND an XS and I can wear both of these! The XS or Small is great on me for a beachy-date-night (tight like a body-con dress) but it's still soft, comfy & not see thru and definitley more on the sexy-side than the roomier 'medium' (*note, I only purchased printed versions, no solids). - This material will wear and possibly pill over time (I've worn mine probably 4-5 times and no pilling YET, but I think it will after 4-5 more uses.....I use a shaver after each use to keep it fresh & that helps the longevity, but it will reach it's 'max-use' after prolly 10-12 wears) - the Big Leaf Pink is may fav. for work, classy & flowy but comfy (I bought 2)! For date nights, I like the Cashew Cyan Blue (in the Small or XS). For day-casual I like the Cashew Blue-Green. I didn't like the Multicolor Orage (tie dye) very much & returned it.

I am 5'0" and 120 pounds, and got the XS in grey, S in army green (no XS available at the time of ordering). Based on previous reviews (I find these reviews CRUCIAL to my shopping process and thank all of you for the input!) I figured the XS would fit properly but not be "body con" tight, nor baggy. I was right. I am short as can be and the hem touches the floor but doesn't drag. If I wear espadrilles or wedge sandals it will be just right. The slit in the sides comes to just above my knee and is a nice feature in warm weather, and I wear with bike shorts. like I do with most maxi dresses. The cutout in back was of concern to me but, as described, does not expose any of my various bra styles, like a V-neck t-shirt would in the front. The size S green one will be better suited to be worn with a belt for more of a boho look, and will be just as useful, styled slightly differently. The fabric feels like cotton jersey, so it is comfortable, isn't scratchy, slithery or prone to wrinkling, and is NOT see-through. That's a huge plus. I wear maxi dresses all summer and these will be staples of my wardrobe this year. I can dress them up with a belt and a shrug sweater and heels, or wear it like a beach coverup with flat sandals. Love it. EDIT: I forgot to mention the pockets. I know pockets for women's garments, especially dresses, seems like a trendy buzzword, but I find pockets to be a wonderful bonus. These pockets do not bulk-up the silhouette like some could, and are big enough to fit a phone, lipstick, keys. Adding all those things WOULD bulk up your silhouette, but it is still possible. So many women's clothing has pockets that are about 2" square, able to hold nothing, or they don't exist. I often like to carry a chapstick or something and leave my purse behind, and this dress is perfect - I don't have to tuck my items in my bra.... admit it, ladies, we all do this!

I know this is not actually a “nursing/breastfeeding” dress, but I’m always looking for tops and dresses that can be used by BF-ing mommas as a lot of nursing clothes are not all that stylish imo. Anyway, I originally ordered a small as I’m usually a size 6-8 and expected it to be a bit big. However, when I tried it on, it definitely did NOT fit like it does on the model. (It wasn’t too tight or clingy, I just wanted it a bit oversized for comfort and also for easier access for nursing my newborn.) So, I returned and sized up to a medium and returned the small. Now, it fits a bit looser which I like. I LOVE the pockets and how soft the material is. It’s pretty long so it goes almost to the floor on my 5’5” frame/140 lbs but I just tied a knot at the front and it’s perfect! I will say, I could probably wear a large if I wanted it to fit even more loose, but the medium is perfectly fine. Now as for the “Nursing Friendly”... I have a 2 week old newborn and I just pull the neck down and am able to feed fairly comfortably. Now this does expose the breast, so if you’re concerned about that, I just use a nursing cover when I’m out and about and then we just forget the cover when we’re at home. I hope this review is helpful for those looking for affordable nursing options! I’ll attach a couple of photos to give an idea of fit/nursing access.

This dress is very comfortable. It’s easy to clean. I am 5’3” and the dress does not touch the ground. A great option for short people.

I’m giving this three stars because when it arrived and I opened the package, it REEKED of a awful chemical like smell. I can only liken it to the smell of fresh tires. It wasn’t a faint smell ( which would have been bad enough), it stunk to high heaven. I hoped airing it out for a couple of hours would get rid of the smell, but nope. So, I figured maybe I’d wash it to get the odor out before I put it in my closet with my other clothes since I didn’t want the odor spreading to my other clothes, but the label says dry cleaning is recommended. Ok then. So I put it in the dryer for five minutes with a scented dryer sheet. That pretty much did the trick. Now that said, for what it is the dress is all right. It will serve its purpose reasonably well and at this price point, you can’t be too picky or have your expectations too high. I will say this though: the material is a bit thinner than I’d ultimately like, but it’s meant to be a casual summer dress, so that’s not a big deal. Also, it’s slightly fitted in the bust area, not necessarily skin tight or anything, but if you want to de-emphasize that area or you’re very busty, keep that in mind. All in all, I don’t regret buying it. I only wanted it for a comfortable casual summer maxi dress to wear around the house and/or run errands in. It will work for that purpose and maybe even make it through 2 or 3 summers, but because of that AWFUL smell, I can’t say I’d necessarily recommend it, especially since it’s recommended dry clean, a bit thin on the material and a bit more fitted in the bust than I’d like and the picture indicated. Those things cost two stars. If these things are no big deal to you, then yeah, I’d recommend this dress for casual summer wear.

This dress is amazing! I'm 5'5, approximately 150lbs and the medium fit perfectly. The material is soft, stretchy and even on a hot, humid day, I still felt comfortable. As shown on the model it is a little baggy but that is the whole idea of this type of dress. The only thing I didn't like about the dress was the neckline; it's a little wide, my bra straps kept showing which drove me nuts. But, I paired it with a cute bra so any time my straps showed it appeared as if it was on purpose. I do have a large bust (36D) but I never had any issues with cleavage. The back neckline is a V but contains a strap that goes across so the dress isn't falling off your shoulders. Slit length is perfect; hit right below the knee. I followed the instructions on the tag for washing and so far it has held up perfectly, however, I do have fears that the material may began to pill overtime after extended wear and use. I received many, many comments when I wore this dress. This trend is in and not to mention, extremely comfortable! The pockets are a must-have, and overall it's a very stylish piece. Overall, the pros outweighed the cons which is why I gave this dress 5 stars. I definitely will be purchasing additional colors.

I love these dresses! So comfortable I just ordered two more. But I have to disagree that they are "true to size". I am short, 5'2", but at 63 I am pretty thick around the middle. I usually wear a women's Large t-shirt or a men's Medium. Size 12 pants probably. I first ordered a Large in this dress. It's HUGE on me! I had to tie knots in a couple places to be able to get around. Then my niece who is 5'7" and perfect weight/body showed up in one (!) and she was wearing XS. It fit her perfect in flats. It did not hug her body but was flattering. I haven't ordered anything less than Medium in 30 years, but I went for it and ordered another in size S. It's still too big! It hugs my tummy, but not tightly, but the shoulders are a smidge too big and it's still a few inches too long (barefoot). So I am ordering two more in XS and they should fit just about perfect. EXCEPT.... Except, mind you, this fabric will show about everything if you have rolls or a tummy, so I definitely will only wear mine around the house. The "13 Purple Gray" is truly a gorgeous purple-gray, but this time I am ordering patterns. :) So, I am ordering for comfort. I have two that are too big, and am ordering two more--third time's a charm. I can't say how well they hold up in the wash yet. I am going to try to shrink the first two I ordered. If they fall apart or get a pilly I'll post an addendum. But so far I love them!

-1 star- the pockets on this dress are poorly placed and super unflattering for women who have just a little extra fluff on those hips. They are right on your hips and add just a little extra bulk making me look much more pear shaped than I am. -1 star- the length is NOT as expected. From the reviews I was hoping this would be long enough for my height. I’m 5’8” and this doesn’t even touch my ankles in the front of back! I don’t have huge boobs, but I do have a bigger butt and typically expect a little lift from that alone. But the fact that it’s not even close to my ankles is super annoying. Basically I’m getting ready for a tsunami in the middle of the desert in AZ. So that’s cool. -1 star- if you want people to see through your soul as you bend over then this is the dress for you. It’s SEE THROUGH! The fabric is soft, but you definitely can’t go without a slip or underwear if that’s your thing. -1 star- the slit is not as pictured either! I was hoping to have a very cute dress for family photos with just a little slit to show off my cute booties, but NOOOOO this slit goes about halfway up my thigh! The slit in the dress pictured is clearly right below the knee. So now if I plan to wear this dress I have to go tan these thighs so I am not the brightest star in the pictures. And to put the cherry on top of this disaster, it smells atrocious. The moment I opened the bag I wanted to throw it in the washer, but here I am taking pictures in this stinky dress for you, you’re welcome.
