Great quality but high leg slit

Really nice quality dress and good structure in the neckline and shoulders. I liked the silhouette and fit (quite oversized) but ultimately didn't keep this piece because the slit on the side went kind of high up.

NOT tall, NOT oversized and NOT heavyweight

NOT tall, NOT oversized and NOT heavyweight Just received my dresses (I ordered two, both in black because the last striped dress was bought right from under my nose before I got a chance to pay for my cart). Was really looking forward to it, but the dresses turned out to be a great disappointment...

Comments about Heavyweight Oversized Maxi T-Shirt Dress

This dress was advertised as oversize but it's not...size up one size if you want extra room in the dress. It was advertised as maxi but it's not...lol. I ordered a tall L because I like a maxi length. I ordered the brown which is a nice change from my usual black. The material isn't flimsy...it has a nice thickness...I like the dress & wish it came in more colors.

Returned due to shoulder sizing

Comments about Heavyweight Oversized Maxi T-Shirt Dress

Sorry, but I had to return. The shoulders seem a size larger than the rest of the dress. It didn't fit well in arms and shoulders. Liked the fabric, a little heavier but not sweatshirt heavy. Wish there were pockets.

Just received my dresses (ordered 2 in black). Was really looking forward to it, but the dress turned out to be a big disappointment: the labels do NOT say "Tall" as ordered (I always make sure to get TALL and LONG for all my dresses, pants, skirts since I am tall with a 34" inseam) and are too short. Know the difference between a truly classy, haute couture, expensive look vs. budget mass-market styles? The proportions+fit+fabric quality. Classy fit = a generous allotment of fabric for EVERY size, not just for XXS size & 4'8" height, so even the taller & heavier people don't look like a stuffed sausage in a short casing. Also the longer the length, the classier the look. Floor-length ALWAYS looks classier than ankle or calf length. Better fabrics are a denser, finer weave that holds shape, drapes & skims the body in a more flattering manner than cheap ones. Not saying there are no good pieces in the mass-market segment: even at Gap and Old Navy I used to have pretty good luck with decent quality fabrics and cut. But this dress misses the mark: it is NOT tall or oversized and "heavyweight" only at a tropical coast. Fabric feels about 5.6 oz-weight, dress ends mid-calf on me (I'm 5'8"), & their "oversized" must now mean "not skin-tight," not even baggy. Gap's normal XXL size is normally quite oversized on me. Not this style. And they closed all Gap stores in my city but one, a full hour away. No, can't return Gap merch at, say, Old Navy (because that would be too convenient, and who would want that!). Makes me regret ever opening that email to make me aware of this dress and break my own promise to myself to never shop at Gap again due to the nightmare of their return process I went through during the holiday season.

NOT tall, NOT oversized and NOT heavyweight Just received my dresses (I ordered two, both in black because the last striped dress was bought right from under my nose before I got a chance to pay for my cart). Was really looking forward to it, but the dresses turned out to be a great disappointment: the labels did NOT state "Tall" like I ordered - and I always make sure to order TALL and LONG for all my dresses, pants and skirts because I am tall and long-legged (34" inseam) and were disgustingly short. You know what the difference is between a truly classy, haute couture, expensive look and budget mass-market styles? The proportions and the fit, as well as the quality of the fabric. The classy fit gives you a generous allotment, even an excess of fabric appropriate for EVERY size, not just for XXS size and 4'8" height, so that even the taller and/or heavier people do not look like a stuffed sausage in a too-short casing. And the proportions: the longer the length, the classier the look. A floor-legth skirt, dress or pants ALWAYS look classier than those that end at the ankle or, heaven forbid, at the calf. And the better fabrics tend to be a denser, finer weave that holds shape, drapes and falls on the body in a way more flattering manner than the cheap mass-market ones. That is not to say it is impossible to find some great styles and pieces in the mass-market segment: even at Gap and Old Navy I used to have pretty good luck with decent quality fabrics and cut. But this dress misses the mark: it is neither tall as ordered nor oversized, and it can only be considered "heavyweight" somewhere on a hot and humid tropical coast. The fabric feels the same weight as my 5.6 oz-weight 100% cotton Tshirts, the dress falls just below mid-calf (yuck!) on my 5'8" frame, and I guess in Gap's today's fashion terms "oversized" must mean "not bodycon" - because it is just regular fit, not even baggy. For the reference, Gap's normal XXL size is normally quite loose and satisfyi

Comments about Heavyweight Oversized Maxi T-Shirt Dress

Fantastic quality heavy fabric. Nicely oversized. I would say true to size. If you wanted a more fitted size I would size down. The white colour is a lot more bone coloured I would say but I like it.

Love this dress!
