3.8 / 5.0
5 reviewsi've gained a lot of weight in the past year or two, and have a hard time picking out clothes that i feel both comfortable and presentable in, and this dress definitely helped give my self-esteem a little boost! also glad to have maya's designs to make me feel like i don't have to be anxious to go out no matter what my body looks like
My daughter enjoys the Bubble dress, it's a vivid print and the adjustable straps made all the difference. Great pockets as always.
This is the comfiest cotton dress I own and I love it so much, I've preordered the solid black. The only reason I havent given it 5 stars is because of some broken stitches that separated the hem along the neck from the shoulder strap, but I believe this will be an easy repair. :)
I wish the tie were longer as I can't tie it into a cute bow like I'd like. The dress itself is just too loose and the tie only does so much to help.
I love every product I've bought from Maya Kern but in this case I wish I had just gotten the skirt in this print and not the dress. The cut, even with the tie/belt once it was received, really just does my body no favors and really exacerbates my body dysmorphia, which is such a disappointment. But it's high-quality and comfortable and you shouldn't let my bad personal experience stop you if the cut works for you. The pockets are the main draw of Maya's designs but on this cut of dress it adds a significant amount of width to my hips in a way that smaller pockets would not have done. I will continue to support this wonderful small business but will not be getting any further dresses in this style.

Material is thick and sturdy with plenty of movement, comfortable, able to be dressed up or dressed down easily. I got it in black, green, and tan and I wish it was available in red so much!!
I own 4 of the faux wrap tops from the previous manufacturer, so I was THRILLED to see these come back. Unfortunately, the quality on the new ones is so bad. The snaps to secure bra straps aren't attached the same, so they often ended up holding my bra strap OUTSIDE of the shirt in full view. I was going to sew them down myself, but the fabric on snaps shredded on one normal wash cycle so they just aren't there. On top of that, the fit is so different. The waist fits, but the bust is so loose that I had to keep adjusting to keep from going full tits out at work. I hate that I have to leave this review since I've been buying from you for years and never been disappointed, but the new wrap tops are unacceptably bad compared to the old ones.
The new style of waistband is a game changer. The skirt still has stretch for weight fluctuations, but now feels much more comfortable on the waist whether I'm sitting, standing, or moving around. And the colors are just as lovely in person as in the photos!
