I absolutely love this dress! I purchased it for an evening event; normally I only wear t-shirt dresses, but needed something a bit dressier. It really looked so cute on. It was incredibly comfortable, nice and loose, but the shorter length kept it from looking frumpy. It was still long enough that I didn’t have to worry about moving around, though. I sized up from my normal Large top size to XL, but probably would have been fine with the Large dress, as well. It hangs nicely, has a nice weight, and is surprisingly warm. Love the crocheted arms, beautiful. For the black dress, I did not have to wear a slip underneath, as it is not see through at all.
