Promising review: "This dress exceeded my expectations! The material is beautiful, it's springy/bouncy, the color is lush, and the fit is gorgeous. It's just what I wanted. The velvet hugs and slinks against the body, so somehow the dress comes off as sexy despite the baggy shape. The buttons are gold mirrors sewn with sturdy thread and the ruffle at the bottom is actually elastic! So there's no tug as I step. I'm going to wear it to the theatre this week and romping with my five year old this weekend. Perfect." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "This is a gorgeous dress with surprisingly great quality and looks great. I bought the black and dark green and they are both beautiful. Sizing is true to size. I usually wear a size 16 or 18 in dresses and the 3X fit me perfectly, with a little extra room to belt it. Go down a size if you want it to be fitted tighter like the picture. There's a nice amount of stretch with the lightweight sweater material. Highly recommend." —Lisa G.

Promising review: "This dress is gorgeous. I ordered the small and it fits great. I'm 5'4, about 120 pounds, and a 36D. This dress fits as a swing dress should and isn't too long. It's even prettier than I thought that it would be. I like the tiered aspect of it. It adds a little something extra and it and makes it seem a little dressier." —Tiffany

Amazon
Promising review: "I really love this dress. It’s very cute and comfortable. The material is soft and seems to be of good quality — it's lightweight but not clingy or see-through. The length is not too short. It is several inches above the knee. The pockets are great and don’t stick out weirdly on the sides as I feared they would. I will probably buy more in other colors. I got the charcoal and it is a nice shade." —Heather L.

Amazon
Promising review: "I love the material, it doesn’t feel cheap and it's very soft. I paired it with a white stretchy long sleeve v-neck, very opaque black tights, and high heeled sleek black dress boots. It's very unique and fashionable. It's trendy — you don’t see too many pinafores around because they are usually very matronly, this is more of an artsy vibe when paired with the right pieces. I am definitely considering buying another color (the rich black is beautiful). This is a top five Amazon clothing purchase for me!" —CinniBon
Get it from Amazon for $17.88+ (available in five colors and sizes S–XL).

The material is super soft and stretchy and the pattern looks better in person than it does in the picture. The pockets are big enough for me to fit my entire hand in, and I'm not worried about my phone falling out unless I do something super crazy. I COULD LIVE IN THIS DRESS. Definitely buying more in other colors!" —Krysta Snow
