Editor's Notes
Reasons to adore this dress: that flattering smocked waist, the beautiful saffron hue, those fresh bouquets scattered all over...need we say more?
Lovely cut
I bought this from an outlet store. It's a bold sunshine yellow, and I was worried that, with my dark blonde hair, it wouldn't be flattering. So glad I went for it! The color is cheerful and bright. (Photos of the model with curly hair are an accurate color representation on my tablet/phone screens.) The flowers are a great print size. It's in a crisp poplin, and it is smooth but not soft. After the first wash, it certainly needs an iron, but otherwise seems fine.
The cut feels a bit 1950s-chic, with the boat neckline in front and the mid-V neckline in back. It has pockets! (We should NOT need to be excited about this, as women obviously deserve pockets, but that's the world we're living in.) The waistline is smocked and pretty forgiving. I disagree with other reviewers who found the fit poor. I'm a US 0/2 or AU/UK 6/8 and a 28FF. I found that the size XS was perfect, fitted but not tight or uncomfortable.
I'm very pleased that I pulled the trigger on this one. It felt expensive at the time, but I expect I'll get years and years of use out of it!

Beautiful and elegant
I am 5"6 and 135 Lbs. I purchased this dress in a Small, on sale, thank you. I am usually a size 4. I am hour-glass shaped. This dress is more beautiful in person than seeing it on the website. It fits my torso very well. It's a little bit tight on the chest area but I am managing it because I am a 32DD. It's very pretty on me. Even though the material is not very soft but the look in itself is very adorable and nice. The colors are vibrant. I received so many compliments when I ware it. It's not very short. It is right above my knee. I like wearing it backward. That way my breasts are not too crunched up. Very classy. I love it.

Flattering summer dress with pockets
I bought this at the Melbourne outlet. I live in the tropics and find that the thin, unlined cotton is cool in summer but not see-through. It's a very fun cut with the tiered skirt and V back, but still modest and feminine. It's survived one machine wash without issues, although it will benefit from a steam/iron after washing or packing.
I'm 5'4" (164cm), about 110lbs (50ish kg), and a 28F. I bought an XS. I found this a flattering cut, but has a forgiving waist with the elastic middle, and plenty of space up top. I love the pockets, too! (Sad that women can't just expect those in all clothes, but I won't complain when I find them!)

Too small
As with the other reviewer, I'm an XS and this was too tight on me. Inconvenient to deal with this since it's expensive.

Fits small
I bought this dress final sale. Always wear a medium Kate Spade. Very narrow thru back and shoulders. Too small.
