Eyelet Porch Dress
Posted by Kayla on Jul 25th 2026
As noted by another reviewer, this is a substantial dress that uses a heavy embroidered/cutwork lace overlay and an underslip. It skims the figure without being fitted. I happen to love these things about it! I wore it on a temporate travel day with last summer’s sage green duster and long botanical scarf. The combination allowed me to adjust for a wide range of temperatures and drew compliments in each combination. This dress also washes beautifully; I machine wash both pieces but put only the slip in the dryer. The outer layer of the dress hangs to dry without wrinkling. I now own this in both the pink and blue.

Eyelet fabric not as light and airy as it appears
Posted by Bonnie on Jul 24th 2026
When I saw this cute eyelet dress, I ordered it to take with me on a trip to Hawaii, thinking it would be perfect for the tropical climate. However, the polyester thread that is used in the embroidery is extremely heavy, making for a stiff dress that feels more winter-weight than summer-light. This was my first order from April Cornell; as I processed the return with the sales associate, she informed me that AC's sizing is "generous." Probably safe to order a size smaller than what you would normally, at least with this dress.

Heavy

Beautiful dress, just runs large and very heavy for a summer dress.
