Beautiful fabric but lots of it
I am 5'8" with a long torso and always appreciate a dress where I can determine the waistline. This dress has a belt that is attached but does allow some maneuvering to find the right adjustment. The dress arrived full of wrinkles (100% cotton) and required 30 minutes of heavy ironing with steam. Very comfortable to wear with elastic on the sleeve cuffs that allow you to push them up. Unfortunately, it is difficult to put on because the slip is attached on only one shoulder and fits tighter than the rest of the dress.

Beautiful and comfortable
This was a backup dress for my son's outdoor wedding. I didn't end up wearing it, and it's not steamed in the try-on pictures. It would have even looked better with a steam, but the dress's outer layer has so much texture, you could travel with this dress and not worry too much. I'm 5'8" and the dress was just off the floor when I had on 2.5" heels. The underslip is printed as the same fabric as the tulle top layer, which enriches the teal colors. However, the slip didn't cover my bra, so even though the neckline and sleeves would make you think it's bra-friendly, you will have to be strategic with color and style so your bra doesn't show too much through the sheer overlay.

Nice casual shirt
I liked this top, but did not have time to steam or iron it before wearing, and it would have looked much better without the wrinkles. I wore it to get ready for my son's wedding, so it worked as a button-up shirt that I could take off without worrying about messing up my hair or makeup, and I wasn't too concerned about the wrinkles. I would have liked the sleeves to fall around my elbows like the model's, but they were tight on my not-so-muscular arms. If you have bigger upper arms, this might be too uncomfortable to wear.

Nice details, no give
This dress is nicely made and I loved the length. Unfortunately, it fit too tightly to wear comfortably. The fabric has no give and the style does not camouflage a menopausal belly.

Looks and feels like heavy silk
I received many compliments on this dress. It is so easy to wear—no straps, no waist, no problems. I wore it to a beach wedding. It was a hot afternoon, yet the print showed no sweat. I wore 3" heels. I thought I would wear the tall one but ended up wearing the regular one. It is a long dress.
