PRETTYGARDENWomen's Casual Summer Midi Dress Puffy Short Sleeve Square Neck Smocked Tiered Ruffle Dresses

I’m constantly on the hunt for cottagecore/puff sleeve dresses like this. This dress fits well, great length and is flattering… except the sleeves. The way they are sown makes it hard to adjust them. So, for someone with broad shoulders, I just wish they stretched out more/laid flatter.However, I love pink and I’ll probably still wear it because I’m lazy and have never successfully returned anything online! Just keep these things in mind if you’re a tall, curvy girl like me (video will be posted next time I wear it)

Loved this dress, but didn’t fit! So disappointed because I really liked it. Had to return it . Need to make larger sizes. Usually wear a 2x-3x, XXL way too tight! Color was beautiful. Nice fabric. Was very soft. Length was good—tea length. Great for Spring-summer wedding guest . Would be easy to dress up or down.sleeves were cute. Just too small for me.🥲

Bought this as part of my Barbie weekend outfit. Fabric is nice and thick, so there were no issues with sheerness (and honestly, was almost too thick for these hot Texas summers). The main issue for me is that despite having a long torso, the shirred bodice section was so long it reached my hips. I'm sure this would be great for someone looking for that, but it just wasn't my personal taste. I safety pinned the top section to make it a bit shorter, though, and it sort of worked for what I bought it for.

The dress is actually nicer than I expected, it even has a lining inside. The color is kind of not very pretty in my opinion but I bought it because I need this color for an event.The fabric is okay it just needs an ironing, but otherwise it's fine. I think the price is kind of high for the quality of it but that's just my opinion. The sleeves are super puffy though, and that doesn't suit my body shape at all so just bare that in mind that the sleeves are puffy and can't be worn otherwise. I also think sizing runs slightly large, I purchased a medium but a small would probably fit nicer.

I'm 4'11 about 140-150 lbs and got a large. It fits very comfortably. Id say if you're very hippy/busty size up. The fabric is fairly itchy but that's the texture of these things.

I actually loved it but ended up returning it.I usually wear black but I’ve been wanting some pretty white dresses for our hot and humid southern summer. I don’t feel comfortable in prints and pastels.This dress is everything I wanted but the bodice part went down a little too low on my belly for my liking. I prefer more of an empire type waist. I’ve had 8 babies and my belly is still a little chubbier than I’d like so this didn’t fit quite how I wanted. If I was a little thinner it wouldn’t have been a problem. I’m not obese, but I am chubbier than I should be! I’m 5’4” and around 180 at the moment. Ideally for my body type I’ve had my whole life, I should be around 130 - 140 for my age (42) and after having 8 children. But with each pregnancy and breastfeeding I’ve kept on a little more weight. My youngest has just turned 2 so I’m hoping now that I’m done having babies I will get back to my normal.The white was not see through. The fabric wasn’t cotton, a little thicker blend which is probably why it wasn’t see through. But it would have been perfect for spring and fall (and even a lot of winter) here in northern Louisiana. During the heat of summer it might have been a little too warm if I were to spend a good amount of time outside. But the white color would have helped with that.I didn’t want to take the time to alter the dress. So I sent it back. I may just end up buying some patterns I like and making my own. I was just looking for a inexpensive and quick option here on Amazon!I ordered white a few other white cottage-y looking dresses and even though the fit on some of them were perfect they were too see through. So they all ended up going back! I may just have to stick to black for quick and easy!

I bought this dress specifically for Barbie themed functions because I literally have one pink cardigan in my closet and nothing else. I usually wear black, grey, and navy blue (with some beige sprinkled in) so this dress was a huge change for me. I got a lot of compliments and friends said they thought it was from Anthropologie. The puffy sleeves can go up on your shoulders if you prefer, but it looks cuter with them down. I am wearing my usual size large in the photo and it fit really well. Some comments say the waist is too long so I bought two sizes, medium and large, and returned the medium. I think if you have a smaller bust sizing down might be right for you. I felt very cute even though this isn’t my normal color palette. Buy the dress! 🩷💝💖

I love the green one fit perfect and wearing off the shoulder was impressive it never once rolled up on me very nice quality and lots of compliments glad i ordered however I am sadly returning the yellow one its baggy around the chest and gives a saggy almost square boob look that is unavoidable no bra or bra. Also buldes under the armpit and back but I could order a smaller size I ordered a medium and I am 170 5'5 so a bit surprised is too baggy but returns seem simple enough, I love the color and dress other wise though. Still contemplating ordering it in a little smaller size as I do have a few similar dresses

PROS:- This dress fits very well! It's a great length, hits around my ankle bone (I'm 5'6").- Material is high quality and is not see-through at all.- The elastic around the sleeves isn't too tight, which can sometimes be an issue in this style of dress- Skirt is a good level of fullness, very flatteringCONS:- As others have said in their reviews, the chest part comes down a little further than I'd like, ideally. It's still a very pretty dress that I will definitely get lots of use out of it, but more of an empire-style waist would be my preference.OVERALL (TD;LR)- Pretty dress, elastic waist is longer than I'd like (if the hem ended more at my natural waist, it would be more flattering).

Fits true to size, quality very good for the price with lining. Overall thrilled with this dress.

I LOVE this dress! I was very unsure about ordering something like this from Amazon but couldn’t be happier, the size and length were perfect and as described. The colour is beautiful (I got it in green) and the fabric is great, seems very well made. I’m hoping to get it in black now too. I would definitely recommend this dress.

The dress looks like the pictures. Cute.

I love this dress the way it fit the material everyone was complementing me on how beautiful I looked in it.
