Great dress!
I really, really like this dress! I own three colors of it now and may buy a fourth. It's comfortable and flattering and the design on the fabric looks great, just like the listing images. The effect of the mesh over the fully opaque lining is lovely, and the combination is forgiving over real human bodies. The crew neck is not too high for comfort, but is modest. The body-hugging fit is less modest (but just right IMO). I chose to sew up the side slit, and even with it sewn all the way down to the bottom hem, the fabric is plenty stretchy enough to walk in comfortably (though I wouldn’t jog in it that way). The overall weight is comfortable indoors this fall and I expect to wear it in winter and spring, but I think it's probably too much for summer—the lining fabric doesn't wick away sweat at all. 👉I did find that the mesh fabric pilled up pretty quickly when I wore a (wide, heavy) crossbody purse strap across the front, so now I know to be more careful with it, and I machine-wash (in slightly warm water) with it turned inside out for minimum abrasion.
