One shopper called the dress “cute, flowy, and the perfect sun dress.” They added, “this dress fits true to size for Carve. I’m typically a small in other brands, and go with XS with Carve. I got this in the Grapefruit Bloom and can’t wait for summer to wear it. It fits perfectly and is light and breathable. Highly recommend!”
