I go to lots of book clubs and reading events. This dress is so perfect. I get lots of compliments. I love the midi length because I'm not comfortable in short skirts. It feels and looks so elegant! I hope Retrolicious makes more dresses and skirts this length. Highly recommend!

This is a well made, cotton, dress. I’m 5’10 and the XL goes to my knee which is perfect. I’m a size 10 in most makers. With a little cardigan this will serve me well Summer and Spring.

Midi Dress Review
First impression, beautiful dress. Love the quality after opening the package. My wife loved the print. She tried it on and perfect. Fit was spot on. Sizing was perfect. She looked amazing in this dress. She hasn't worn the dress yet so this is all I can review on at this time.

Adorable
Unique print. Vintage vibes. Super comfortable and fits true to size. It’s midi length and scoop neck line which adds to to vintage look. It’s also great with a cardigan or a blouse underneath for colder weather. I highly recommend it.

Perfect for this children's librarian
The print is adorable and the fabric and construct is high quality. I love the pockets and the midi length of the skirt .

Love this dress!
This dress is wonderful! I am a librarian, and deal with children's books quite a bit, so the book print design is so perfect for librarians! Also, it's very good quality and the sizing is good. It seems a little big when you first get it, but when you wash it - in cold water, of course, - it does shrink a little. Love the elastic waist - great for us larger girls! I also love the length - it falls well below my knees, which I really like (I am 5'6").

Perfect!
I’m a Librarian, and I missed this dress the first time it was around. I’m so glad I had the chance to buy it again. It’s perfect. The fit is true to size, and it’s comfortable. The fabric is even more beautiful in person. I’ve spent a lot of time just sitting and reading all of the titles on the fabric. You won’t regret this purchase!

Dreamy
I love this print SO MUCH. I'd rather have this dress as a Greta or an Elizabeth, but the midi is sweet. I have the matching mask, and it goes with almost everything! Please keep this print around, it's enchanting...and while you're at it, make mommy and me Elizabeths!

Pretty fabric and a surprise to boot!
I love the fabric/print, am very happy with the fit, but the lenght was too long for me - I am a petite 5'1". With a little alteration to shorten it I have enough fabric left to make a headband which will look great with my long hair - a double win!!!

Even prettier in person!
Such a beautiful print. Classic style. Would have been even more fun to choose the book(s) to feature front and center! Can't wait to wear it.

Gorgeous fabric, but shape didn't work
The dress fabric is gorgeous! It hurt to send this one back. The neckline was too high and bulged out above my bust. Also, the new midi length fell too low on me and made me look old and short. If this print is ever made in a skater tank dress style, I'll happily scoop it up!
