This dress is a keeper at 65% off. I like that it's lined - I didn't find it to be overly heavy. It's a little boxy for me so I got a simple linen belt to give it some shape. It does run a little big.

This dress looks like a nice light flowing spring dress. First, the material is very heavy, more like a curtain than a dress. I'm usually a large but will occasionally fit into a medium. I ordered the large and it is very big. I tried adjusting the tie in the back, but it was way too baggy around the back and sides on top (like someone could look right down the back of the dress). If I loved it, I could have maybe taken it in, but between looking more like a maternity dress and the weight of the material, it wasn't worth keeping. Too bad I have to pay to ship it back. I don't usually leave bad reviews, but maybe it will save someone from making a mistake in ordering.

Disappointed

I thought I was going to love this dress. I specifically bought it because of the way the straps are tied into a bow at the back. But the whole dress feels more like linen than cotton. So it was very wrinkled when I opened the package. The straps are the most wrinkled part of the dress and they don’t lay flat or tie nicely. As a result the bow looks very tacky. I also find that because the material is more like linen, dust, lint, dog hair, and things like that stick to it. I don’t know what I am going to do because I can’t see myself ironing it every time I wash it.
