This is a potentially challenging dress to wear - the sleeveless cut combined with a sweater-like material means there's a very short seasonal window in which this will be comfortable. Fortunately for me, that window is spring on the east coast! The dress appears to be cotton, so people are surprised when they touch it. Of course that's only good friends or family, so others you're with will never know. The ombre pleats in the skirt are not something you expect to see in a thick knit. The cut of the bodice is, as my husband pointed out, a little racing swimsuit-esque, but that doesn't detract from the overall loveliness of the look. A statement necklace helps make the neckline more interesting. It's a snug fit on the bust and waist, so if you have any self consciousness about a tummy or your shoulders, take note. It flares nicely at the hips, however, so great if you have any issues there.
