those are beautiful - almost too many nice options to choose from

ohmygod, what a find! obsessed now with this brand - https://www.canvasandweaves.com/collections/ofrida

I do not need another summer dress....I do not need another summer dress.....

what does *need* have to do with it - look at them? doesn't it already make you happy imagining putting one of those on and swanning around??

Sorry, I don’t find these at all attractive. Many of them look like maternity dresses from like three decades ago. Ugh.

I prefer 100% linen to cotton. Cotton just tends to hold humidity, unlike linen.

I also wear D&D nighties as dresses. There are linen and cotton options. All very comfy.

This is genius and they are beautiful! How is the sizing? I already have my eye on 3 of them!!

PP here. I have three different styles and here are my sizing thoughts on each:

- The square nightie (I have the black one ) - runs large but I think that's the point. I'm 5'3" 135 and got a M. It fights how I like but I have the straps adjusted to shorten a fair bit because I'm not very big up top. It's so flowy and comfy but the low back makes it still a little sexy. There's no wearing a bra with this one. I could have gotten an S probably but I kind of love the low back + potato sack comfort lol.

- The slip nightie (I have the persehphone) - fits truer to size. I got a M and love how it fits. It's a tiny bit snug in the but/hips and a liiitle big in the chest bit that's how things tend to go with my proportions. The v is deep enough to be a a little flirty but again, that depends on your measurements. I love the slits in this one - it looks so chic with tall boots. Very easy to dress up or down with shoes and jewelry. It's a great general vacation dress. Still cotton so it isn't super formal of course.

- Kaftan (I just recently got the palm stripe) - Also have the M but if I get another of this style I might try the S just to see how it fits. Runs larger than the slip nightie but not as large as the square nightie. I've only worn it once so have fewer opinions. Very comfy though and I plan to wear it as a pool/beach to dinner transition outfit this summer.

OMG PP, love these! I just ordered the slip nightie in Persephone and depending on how I like it may get the palm stripe Kaftan too. I'm 5'2" and 125, so thanks for sharing your measurements, it helped a lot!

Which size did you order?

I'm this PP and I got the Small in the slip nightie. I could have done the XS, but S worked fine - washed and dried it and it was great. I wore it on a recent trip to New Orleans and had three people stop me on the street to compliment the dress, which NEVER happens to me. I haven't tried the Kaftan style yet.

Also for that trip I bought this dress in XS, 100% cotton and definitely maxi length on me but it works and it's really pretty: https://www.nordstrom.com/s/maris-swirl-print-tiered-cotton-maxi-dress/7754493

I had to click on this link. Big mistake. The dresses are really beautiful. Are the loose fitting dresses with no defined waist true to US size? And do they ever have sales?

I found this brand from this thread and recently ordered dresses and a linen set. The clothing is absolutely beautiful and such great quality. I am very happy with my order. Every piece was true to size. Shipping took quite a bit longer than estimated.

I live nearby and love that place. I wandered in this past week and bought a dress. They’re always so welcoming, and will also offer deals which I appreciate!
