If you are on the fence about purchasing this dress, just do it! I was worried the pattern might look a bit too busy in person, but the muted pastel and earth tones actually make it look incredibly sophisticated and high-end. The relaxed fit is extremely forgiving, and the breathable material kept me cool during a sweltering afternoon outdoor event. It flows nicely when you walk, giving that classic romantic feel. I accessorized it with a delicate gold pendant and flat sandals, and it felt like a million bucks.
