This dress is very flattering and, most importantly, soft. The material feels light, flowy, and comfortable on the skin. I'm 147lbs, got a Medium and nothing feels too tight, itchy, or uncomfortable. There is a nice gathering of two strings to tie at the side for a flattering look. Despite having a bit of a tummy, this dress does well to conceal it with a flattering cut. I am 5’ 5” and the dress hits below my knee. The v-neck is nice too—flattering but not too low. It’s really the perfect dress to feel beautiful in on the weekend. It’s also a beautiful piece to be worn to work. This is really a great dress to have on hand for the weekend or work; it is versatile and a great value for what you get.
