Worth it for the sale price

I typically run between a 10 and 12. The size 12 fit perfectly. I was nervous it wouldn't work for me since I am a 34DD/155lbs. While the sweetheart wraparound neckline showcased the bust, I had to wear a good bra and do my own minor tailoring. I added interior sleeve ties to secure those to my bra ...

Messy sloppy ties, I regret buying this.

I came to banana republic for higher quality and better fit. The dress is my proper size and is made of good materials but the ties across the front are NOT designed at all whatsoever to cross and overlap in the front. No matter what you do they will never be able to lay flat and one side will be ro...

Comments about Linen Sweetheart Maxi Dress

I bought size 8, but the dress is very small and doesn't fit true to size. The problem is that I can't button it at all, which means I won't be able to wear it. The color of the dress also doesn't correspond to the video and photos on the side.

Way too small

I was excited to get this an alternative dress to elope in for my birthday. I should have listened to the comments warning that the torso tends to run small on this dress. I usually do not listen to comments, as everyone is shaped differently and I did not want to chance getting an ill fitting piece. As soon as I opened up the package and tried it on, I could not even zip up the zipper. the skirt and upper portion fit, but the torso was way off the mark. Such a shame because the material is lovely, and it's a final sale. I even went back to the website to get a size larger, but the 8s and 10s are all sold out.

Loved it!

My bra size is about 32C - 34B while my cakes are like 100cm round or 40inches. Size 6 fits beautifully and classily (aka not too tight). The fabric and cut are absolutely gorgeous. I'm very happy I got this on a deep discount.

Perfect for summer

The dress is gorgeous, the print is perfect for summer. Based on other reviews i sized up one and it fits perfectly. So perfect that i went back and bought the white one on sale. Great for a summer staple and the quality is amazing.

Comments about Linen Sweetheart Maxi Dress

This is my new favorite dress. Initially I bought the yellow print and then I loved the fit and print so much, I bought the cream white. Very feminine and falls beautifully on my body. I am 5'6 160 lbs and usually between a size 10 and 12 and am bottom heavy build. I went with size 12 based on other reviews and while it's a little loose, I prefer this fit for the summer. Beautiful and worth it.

Pretty, but uncomfortable

Comments about Linen Sweetheart Maxi Dress

I got a lot of compliments at the wedding I wore this dress to, but felt uncomfortable because I had to keep readjusting the straps that tie around the bust. Went braless because it was too deep of a cut to wear my go to bra and the sweetheart neckline exposed the cups on my triangle bras. Maybe double sided tape would've been helpful.

High Quality, lovely

My only regret was I let other reviews make me order a size too big (and it's not exchangeable nor available in an 8!). However I can have it taken in a bit. I'm 5'5, 155lbs, ordered a 10 regular in the colour cream (normally I would get an 8). It is a little big through the ribs/ waist. However, I was super impressed by the quality of the linen and the construction, relative to the sale price. It looks good.
