How to describe this dress in one word? Sexy. This dress is really pretty and definitely sexy. It is a deep v neck and has a side slit that goes up the entire dress to the waist. It has a short lining that is the length of a very short dress to help with some coverage. The strings attached to the top of the part covering the chest are really long so that they criss cross in the back, then wrap around and tie at the waist. It would be very easy to alter this dress by cutting the strings short and tying it as a halter if you like that look better (just knot the ends so they don.t fray).
The fabric is medium weight so it is not see-through. It is not smooth and silky. It is polyester that has a bit of texture to it. I think that the print and the colors are really pretty.
This dress is advertised as a prom dress or evening gown but I think that it is more of a dress for a garden party or cocktail hour outside with wine and friends. I am tall and it is a good, long length. I have flat sandals on here, but it would look great with wedges or some heels. It could be worn to a school dance, but maybe not an event as fancy as prom.
It is well made and seems true to size. Coming from China, I thought that it would run small, so I ordered a size up (a Medium). Surprisingly, it was a good fit and even a little roomier than I expected. It is very comfortable. It would look better on someone who is not busty because the sides flare out with a bigger chest. I would recommend not buying it if you are bigger than a C cup. It has no support and you can not wear a bra with it so keep that in mind as well.
All in all I think that it is a good dress and $30 is a good price because this is a piece that you would wear more than once.

That is cute. Definitely more for a garden party than a prom. I like the way you dressed it down with flip-flops The back straps make the dress!
Angela Tolsma
I love how the strings wrap around! What a fabulous dress, beautiful colors. It’s wonderful to find a dress that makes you feel sexy, best feeling in the world. You look fabulous!

Such a cute little dress! Most dresses coming from over seas do run small, so that is really awesome that this one doesn’t run too small.
Jessica Hughes
This dress is absolutely adorable and you look fantastic wearing it. I love the floral print, which is so on-trend this season, and the wrap around details of the straps.
Jill Conyers
I love the strappy back. And the color is great on you.
Cynthia
This dress is perfect for a night out at the beach! The colour really compliments your skin tone 🙂

Loved the flowers and I guess it should have been fully covered
Gayathri

I love all maxi dresses as well as floral prints for the summer. I just don’t care for those type of necklines because they make my boobies look really large. If I had a flat chest (Why can’t I have a flat chest), it would be perfect! #boobieprobs

This is my kind of dress. I love the shape, the color the floral print, I love it!
David Elliott
It does look like such an amazingly beautiful dress. I can understand that it would be difficult for bustier women the way it flares out like that. Still very beautiful.

Candy, you are funny. So many women will read this and say “WHAT!?!?! Smaller?!” lol

Thank you Gayathri. I like that the fabric is heavy enough to hang well.

Exactly Alicia. That is why I always read and provide reviews…to avoid mistakes in sizes!

Thank you for the confidence boost Angela! I love that this dress looks nice but also feels comfortable so I can move around and not feel stiff.

Thanks Tanya. After so many years of wearing heels I really appreciate the casual look along with the comfort of flip flops at certain venues and events. (It stinks getting my heels stuck in the grass at parties!)
