Oversized drawstring-detail dress

Rated 5 out of 5 on 11 Jul 2025

Easily my fav H&M purchase ever - I love this dress! I will agree that the labeling of colors failed as this is 100% rust + cream, not red + white, though the photos already looked more like that anyways. The fabric has a lovely feel and drape, and the pattern and color make me feel like I will be comfortable in summer heat but also be able to style it well for spring and autumn. The tie strings are great for adjusting fit as well as visual interest, but this dress transformed from great to amazing for me when I unpicked the stay-stitching on the top neckline ties. Bravo to them for being thorough with those stay-stitches, however they were set way too tight for me, and when I took those out it became a really romantic line. I also appreciated that this is just long enough to be a shortish maxi (5-6" above ankle) on my tall (5'11) frame instead of turning into an undesired midi length as often happens.

Definitely NOT RED! This dress is rust and cream. Nice material. Will keep for Fall. I went one size down and it's perfect. I am 5'4" and it hits at ankles. So just maxi for me and probably midi for tall ladies. I like that it is adjustable so you can wear it snug at the waist or more flowy. Also, the balloon sleeves can be pushed up to the elbow to make a nice bell sleeve. I have 2 others of similar style. I slip stitch the cleavage area up a couple of inches for personal preference. All in all, a good dress for the price. I took a star off because I thought I was getting a red dress! 🤷‍♀️

I'll be honest, I was skeptical about getting this dress because of the rating, but it's really not that bad at all. You can adjust the sides and it's so flowy, very light and not see through. I would 100% recommend to give it a shot, I sized up because I like to be able to entirely adjust the size to my liking but it's a very pretty dress

I like fabric and love the colour of this dress but unfortunately I have to return this dress I bought 2 different sizes in same colour dresses but it looks too bulky and balloon sleeves looks too funny Hm please don't make same balloon sleeves for all dresses even we buy different colour dresses but it looks all same.

Loved the colour but came very creased. One tie didn't move very easily. As with last five items bought from H and M. Poor quality, overpriced and disappointing. No longer are H and M my go to!

It is a lovely dress, and it is very comfortable to wear. The only negative things that it has a lot of strings. However shorter length was in the sale in cream that I bought it.

Usually love H&M but what's happened to the sizing, this dress was awful, the ties are really awkward, and it doesn't sit well once tied, the only thing it was a beautiful colour

Colour and fabric material very good but oversized style is not good It looks way too big on your body
