Review on Women'S Off Shoulder Ruffle Beach Maxi Dress With Pockets Summer Casual Long VERABENDI by Mauricio Woodard

Let me first start off by saying I am not getting anything for a 5-star review. I know there are several sellers that tell you to give a great review and they will send you something free.This dress is AMAZING! I am very impressed with pretty much all things about it. Like most, I looked at all the pics and read through almost every review. Before I start, I am 5"7 and weigh 138-143 lbs.1. The fit - the dress fits true to size. I wear a small in almost all dresses. I was not blessed with boobs and have narrow shoulders, so I was very concerned if the elastic around the shoulders would stay in one place. It did stay put. I tried to wear it with one shoulder off, and one shoulder somewhat on. It really isn't made to be worn like that, but that's what I was aiming for. So, that's kind of what you see in the pic. When she put her arm around me, the dress slipped up more on my shoulder - but that was not b/c of the dress.2. The length - it did hit a little shorter than long dresses I normally wear. Thank goodness that knotting the bottom is in, b/c that is the only reason I felt comfortable wearing it. If it had been a few inches longer, then it would've been fine w/o the knot. I tried to put a picture that showed the length. I do have longer legs, so someone else as tall, it may not matter as much.3. The slit/split (not sure what the proper term is) on the side - this is much higher than I was expecting. But, there were several reviews that said that. For this event, it was completely ok. Since I can get away with wearing this on my shoulders, I am going to try to tack the slit to somewhere around my knees so I can wear it to work.4. The print - there is light blue in this print. Yes, the color description says blue when you click on it, but the pics on Revain, to me, didn't portray it as that. I thought it was black and white only and maybe some gray. So, just know that when you order. I always go with a busy print on these styles of dresses b/c with solid materials or a lower-key print, the front always covers and looks great, but then I turn around and find you can see my panty lines - thong or regular. And this girl sure as heck isn't going commando.5. The pockets - The pockets really are a nice size. My phone (iphone11) fit fine. There would've been plenty of room for car keys and lipstick. However, I did not put anything in them. To me, they already added a little width to my hips, and I didn't want that much more added. With the phone, it also weighed down and it pulled a little to where the dress didn't lay right.If you've made it this far, I will say it again (and it does depend on the print IMO), "Get the dress - you won't be disappointed!"
