"Love this dress"
The color is beautiful. Its well made, runs true to size and is cool and comfortable to wear during our hot, humid Florida summers. Im so glad I bought two in different color tones. Will you consider doing this style in rose or coral pink?

"pretty caftan"
Lovely print and color and dress is very very comfy but be aware it runs HUGE!! I am a m/l and ordered the medium but should have gone w the small. Even after washing and drying on high heat it fits more like a caftan or moomoo. But because it is comfortable, shall keep and wear around the house for summer.
