Great light weight accentuates waist

Lately Banana has sold styles that do not have a waist or belt. This dress is flattering for an hourglass figure. Finally a dress that is made for real women. The material is fabulously lightweight and airy, and the length is perfect. Thank you BR for a dress that doesn't fit like a sack! I'm 5'10" ...

Everything that can be wrong is wrong

Everything that can be wrong with a dress is wrong with this. I ordered the black and the striped. The proportions are so absurd and the fabric poofs in the most unflattering way possible. Armholes are so long and low that it's not wearable. The fabric itself is not high quality. Save yourself the t...

Comments about Cotton Poplin Belted Mini Shirt Dress

This runs big. Per the sizing information, I was afraid it would be small, instead, it's big! Dissapointed.

Very nice dress! Definitely size down by one size. It's cut nicely to make your waist appear slimmer. Easy breezy summer dress. Thank you BR for making classic good quality clothing.

Comments about Cotton Poplin Belted Mini Shirt Dress

I sized down and the dress is very flattering and an excellent length. Great for casual and you can dress it up a little. Very versatile and I love the pockets.

Comments about Cotton Poplin Belted Mini Shirt Dress

The material is nice and the belt is a flattering touch, but on me the cap sleeves made my shoulders look huge. I also didn't like that the back was about 5" longer than the front.

Easy breezy

Comments about Cotton Poplin Belted Mini Shirt Dress

I love this dress, definitely runs big but it gives an effortlessly chic vibe being an oversized. The arm holes are huge… just wear simmering under. The fabric has a poplin crunchy feeling but light and breathable for summer. I love it

Comments about Cotton Poplin Belted Mini Shirt Dress

while so similar to the midi big button dress, in this style it somehow falls short, not just in length but in style-ability. I think the main problem is that for this shorter dress, the self-belt needed to have a better ability to hold it's shape. I would have appreciate a bit more substance to the fabric in this style, but I'm not sure that it's strictly necessary rather than just a preference. Ultimately, it was just a return for me.

Great product for the money

Comments about Cotton Poplin Belted Mini Shirt Dress

I am 5'2" tall & this one of the dresses that fits me. I wore it to a luncheon with some of my fellow classmates of Lynn English High School Class of 1966 in April. I got a lot of compliments! I wore black tights & short boots. My only wish is that it had a reg. belt & a little less material in the rear of the dress.

Very huge

Comments about Cotton Poplin Belted Mini Shirt Dress

I got an XXS and it's somehow enormous. For reference, I'm 5'2, 105 lbs. couldn't even get a good sense of how it would look on someone if it fits them well because it was truly huge on me.

THE MATERIAL COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER
