Textured light fabric and great pocket design
I am a fan of EF for quality fabric and non-shouty style. I bought this in a PS for my 36" bust and 5'3" height, and I'm happy with the fit but would also have been happy sizing up to a S for a little more room over the stomach. I tend to wear these shirt dresses half-buttoned over pants, sleeveless dresses or skirts, so more space is good. One thing I would like to point out is the excellent pocket design. The pockets on this dress are integrated into the front placket, so there is no pouching of a loose pocket over the hip after washing. I love this! The fabric is subtle and textural. Love this.

Too baggy
Even an XXS was too voluminous so I had to return it

Flattering and sooooo comfortable!
I loved this the moment I saw it, the cap sleeves and mandarin color always look good on me. And it did not disappoint! Bought one in raspberry and one in the lovely blue-green color. Great material, both are linen, one is puckered. Wish it came in more colors. Nice that it can be worn in so many different ways.

Almost perfect summer dress
I love the color and the light fabric perfect for these hot summer days. I really enjoy the pockets. My only dislike is the way the material gaps open between the buttons.

Score!
I've been looking a this dress in the color Amalfi for awhile and finally purchased it. The color is true to my monitor--a lovely aqua--and the tailoring is perfect for the not so slim but still prefer not to look sloppy. I love this material. Perfect for very hot weather.

Cool, easy care
Love this fabric and style. Buttons don’t gape, sleeves provide more coverage than typical cap style and it has pockets that don’t add bulk. Could get away without ironing but I give it a light press after washing in cold water/gentle and hanging to dry. I have fully dried this fabric on low to see what happens…a little more wrinkled but no shrinkage. Ordered a size down from normal/still generous cut and flow.

Cute color!
Love the color and check of the linen. Dress is a alittle skimpy. I usually layer with it.

Light and breezy
I love this light weight, breezy dress. I feel like a little girl again. Carefree. Plus it is flattering, boxy, but not too boxy.

Wonderful color and shape
Very happy with both the fit and shape of this dress. The color is so great that I also bought the tunic top in the same color.

Not for me
I found the neckline to this dress very uncomfortable- it rubbed my neck and could not be turned down due to the style.I guess this style neckline is not for me .

Puckered organic linen shirtdress
I love the look and feel of this dress. It is very loose and summery without looking like a sack. However, on a recent trip it wrinkled like crazy. I would never travel with it again.

Super dress
Super summer dress. It is loose floats well, the air goes thru it, great for hot days. Could be worn as a vest over top/pants as well

I was lucky
I saw how many people were unhappy with the fit, but I took a chance, having just exchanged a linen shirt for a smaller size. 5'1" and shrinking, 126 lbs and the PP size fits great. The puckered linen feels cool and there is room for air. I like the shape with the cap sleeves and mandarin collar. Black/brown a nice change from black

Great fabric, love the fit
I own two versions of this dress in the 2023 style and though I am I have two colors of this dress from last year and am very happy with them, I like the fit of this years dress even more. It seems more tapered near the hem, which I think makes for a flattering, less full shape. The puckered linen is perfect for warm weather.

Not right for me.
I loved the style, color and fabric. Unfortunately the fit was wrong for my particular body. I liked the length and relaxed fit of the medium on me but the pockets were too low. The petite medium was too short and the cut much slimmer. I've returned both sizes.

Disappointed
I bought this in the Amalfi color in my regular size. Both the fit and the length were unflattering on me. I returned it…

Terrible dress
This is one of the worst looking, most unflattering dress I have ever seen. I am returning.

Poor Fit
Online this dress looks and is described exactly the same as Item S2YCD-D5114 - same fabric, buttons, sleeves, length, neckline, general style - one of my favorite purchases of last year, so I ordered it in the new blue color in my normal Petite Small - which did not fit. It took trying the 2023 dress in 3 sizes, and laying the 2022 and 2023 dresses down and measuring them myself to finally figure it out: this year's version is straight - hips much narrower than the bust, last year's was A-line and measures 2.5 inches wider in the hips than the new version. Along the way I spoke to customer service twice - they didn't know, didn't have any actual dress measurements, and offered very little advice. Very disappointed - I feel manipulated and will be much more wary in the future.

5 for comfort/quality, 3 for style
This material is amazing and I can tell this would be SO comfy on a hot, muggy day. I like the quality, length, drape, sleeves... but it's just a bit too baggy/boxy thru the body and lacking in style. (The Amalfi color reminds me of hospital scrubs, too.) A thin braided belt tied loosely at the waist might help and still keep the dress comfy. Not sure whether to keep it or not (SO comfy it just might be worth it). I usually wear a M in most brands (I'm 153 lbs, 5'8") but got this in a size S, and it fits well, even on the generous side.

YOU DON"T MAKE ENOUGH PP!!!!
I'm buy a lot of my clothes *expensive* at EF, and I am sick of the PPs selling out first. Get the message - small people are out here, you could make money! I keep having to order XXS and paying for alterations because the PPs are gone in minutes (ANGRY)

Fit
I am 5’6” 135 pounds and the extra small hits perfectly at the top of my knee. The armholes could be slightly larger, but hasn’t kept me from enjoying the dress.

Where did all the petite sizes go.?
Great dress. Not to boxy. I am always a petite large. I am short and have a 40 D chest and this is roomy. Just perfect. I have written about this before but the lack of petite sizes is distressing. That was what attracted me to EF in the first place. Clasic clothes for shorted pieces. Quite a few lovely dresses and skirts I would have bought but no petites. The clothes that are in regular sizes do not fit petites. I tried some on in the store and they were too big and long. Anyway, this dress is great but would have loved the lavender if it came in petite!!!!

short sleeves
I loved this top but it exposed too much of my crinkly upper arms so had to send it back. Wish they would make it with longer sleeves!!
