I cannot say enough good things about this dress! From the moment I took it out of the package, I knew it was going to be a favorite. The linen-like material feels very high quality, breathable, and doesn't wrinkle as easily as I expected. The design is just genius—the solid side paired with the striped side creates a wonderfully slimming optical illusion, and the thick waist tie covers up my midsection beautifully. I wore it to an outdoor winery wedding and lost count of how many people stopped to ask me where I bought it. If you are on the fence, definitely add this to your cart!
