This is my first CowCow dress so I wasn't sure what to expect. I'm a weather forecaster for my job and I wore this to a work party and literally every single person, even guys, complimented me on my weather dress!! It was a smash hit even if it was a little corny lol. As far as the print, everything was really crisp and sharp, I ordered the black background but it's actually navy blue irl which was ok I guess... Many of the items like the cloud and the thermometer have print errors in them ?? Like the pattern doesn't repeat perfectly, but it's not really noticeable bc the skirt portion has a lot of fabric and folds. The material is almost like a bathing suit, which was pretty cool in the heat.
THE FIT:
I ordered this in a Large as I allllways wear a Large from other stores. The other reviews were correct when they said the arms are small and tight. I'm 5'5" and 150lbs (a little chubby for my height) and carry most of my weight in my stomach and hips but don't have the smallest arms. This dress was really (really) loose in the chest / shoulder area but I have A cups so this would probably fit someone who has larger breasts better. The waist part of the skirt was also pretty loose on me which was mildly disappointing bc that's the part of my body I prefer to show off. Overall this dress was really loose and big on me but I wouldn't (couldn't) order a smaller size bc the arms were so tight.
If I were to order another CowCow dress I'd probably opt for the sleeveless ones and order a medium.
