"I feel beautiful even on the hottest days!"
I feel beautiful, and cool on even the hottest days in this dress. The princess seams are extremely flattering - especially with the ruffle that keeps the skirt looking full. The adjustable straps mean I can adjust it to fit me - and then they stay in place well. Yes, the fabric is thin - and 100% cotton! - thats what I wanted. The darker color on this one means I can wear it without a slip. Easy wash & dry (10 minutes in dryer & remove slightly damp to smooth ruffle flat with fingers; youll have no wrinkles!). Dress dries really fast. Only slight wrinkles develop while wearing dress, but, with this print, dont show. Runs true to size. I ordered a size larger than I used to wear, due to my growing middle-age pear-shape, and can see that if Id wanted a closer fit, my usual size would have sufficed. NO Plastic packaging! These dresses come in a net bag with a button closure (and a pretty tassel; Im using the bags for gift wrapping & storing keepsakes). Want 3 more dresses like this!

"One of my favorites"
This shirt can be worn in professional or casual contexts, and the cut of it looks great on me. I love the little details at the collar and sleeves. Washes nice, looks crisp and lovely.

"Great dress, but does not fit my body well"
Frist, this is a great dress. Fine workmanship and fabric. I like that it is lightweight, but covered up to some extent. When traveling, I sometimes visit a church or other religious building, and being a bit more covered up is more appropriate (or required) than typical summer wear. I could have worn it to work on a casual day, before I recently retired. It could be great from casual to cocktails, depending on how you style it with shoes and jewelry. Due diligence: I returned the dress. I thought it tied at my waist, but the seam hits higher, almost empire-style under my bust -- and I am not a tall woman. If this style works for you, it is a great dress. For me, it is not flattering, and I dont like ties around my rib cage - I like to breathe without feeling a restriction. I dont think ordering a smaller size would fix the problem. If the seam was more at the waist, I would have worn this dress many places, and even looked for more colors or prints from this producer.
Best Uses
