Women’s Supersoft Terry Standard-Fit Racerback Maxi Dress

97% Rayon, 3% Elastane

Top Positive Review

I ordered both in both a medium and a large and here’s the takeaway: if you have a waist and hips, get the jersey one. The jersey version is a-line and much more flattering. The terry version is straight up and down, so it hides your waist and widens your hips. For me, I went a size down to the medium because the large was really long and big enough that any stretching would be a problem. Seamless bra and panties are a must under the fabric, but the jersey version is super-flattering. The terry fabric is very nice, though, so if a straight dress works on your body, then I’d pick it over the clingy jersey.

Top Critical Review

First, the description should read: “FRENCH TERRY” Racerback Maxi Dress. The inside is looped and brushed typical of French terry (like a lightweight sweatshirt; google it and compare my photo). I was expecting something heavier than a t-shirt since it??s not jersey but wasn’t sure what interpretation of “terry” meant here; so many people say terry when they mean fleece or terry cloth. Anyway, I do like the fabric; not see through, a good weight and extremely soft! I would get a lot of use out of this in our cold San Francisco summers but if you are somewhere with hot and humid summers – NO, just no! This will easily take you from spring into fall otherwise, even winter if you run hot. Or lounging around the house – it’s very comfortable. The fit is good; I wear a 42DD bra and XXL fits great up top not tight but not loose, larger armholes than expected but I’ll wear a black bra and you won??t notice as much. I’m 5″4 and the length is great, came to my ankles so no need to hem. Unfortunately, I had to return because the neckline was sewn incorrectly; the left side is round, and that strap is thinner. Where it connects to the back piece it’s offset so a little piece of fabric sticks out on my shoulder. I??m returning this one and already ordered a new one ?C hopefully that one is sewn better as it is a great maxi dress.

Customer Questions & Answers

How long is this? Does it shrink? I’m 5’3″ and have a hard time finding maxi dresses that reach my ankle. Thanks.
Answer: I’m 5’10” and it hits me about mid calf. I’ve also washed it a handful of times and have not noticed any shrinking. I also don’t throw it in the dryer. I line dry it.

is the fabric stretchy enough to pull the neckline down to nurse?
Answer: It technically is, but I probably wouldn??t recommend it for that. It stretched out a little just from normal wear throughout the day, so I??d worry that after you pulled it down or over more than once, it wouldn??t return to its proper shape!
