This is a beautifully made dress. Its lined for modesty and very lightweight. Usually, I find that dresses that are lined are too heavy for our Midwest summers which can be ultra hot and humid. But, I believe that this dress would have been just fine. I also found it to be very flattering with a fit that was right on the mark.I just had two problems with it. One was a little problem. On the monitor, the dress looks as though even the background of the fabric is pink, which is what I wanted. In fact, it is cream-colored and there is very little pink in the dress except for the little flowers. However, that was a totally moot point because of the big problem... and I know that while my problem may be a bit bigger than most, I'm not the only one out there with this problem. My girls are uneven. This is not usually a very noticeable issue - unless I am without clothing and even then, only REALLY noticeable in certain positions. But this dress not only accentuated this, it MAGNIFIED it to the point where I looked like I was carrying a cantaloupe and a mango. The problem appeared WAY WORSE than it even was!I tried the dress on another day thinking that maybe it was a bad day or maybe I put it on crooked or it was SOMETHING that I may have done. But alas, this was not so. It was the dress. What a shame. I really wanted that dress and to order a few more because of how beautifully it was made. Well, other than that one "big" problem. In every OTHER aspect, it was SO flattering.The dress fits well and the material is nice. The straps however loosen when your wearing them. I’m having to make constant adjustments. Other wise it’s a good dress.Runs a little big in the chest area but adjustable straps help. Comfortable, flowy, all occasion dress.I purchased this dress to wear to an outdoor wedding in Maryland. I am from a hot, arid climate, so my body is not used to humidity. And it was a hot, humid day at the wedding. I am someone who cannot help but sweat, and I've come to terms with knowing that my clothes often do not hide that fact. However, this dress, although drenched, wasn't obvious in showing the sweat. I call that a win. It felt flowy and not overly hot, and the lining didn't stick to me like some other dresses have.The dress wrinkled a bit in my suitcase and in wearing it en route to the wedding location; however, aI believe it would have unwrinkled if I'd had a chance to hang it near a steamy shower before wearing it.The empire waist is flattering, the straps feel strong, and the fabric is soft. I am very pleased with this dress and may purchase another one in a different color.This dress is comfortable and flowy. The material itself is not very breathable but otherwise it's a great casual dress.It was perfect dress fitting, color, fabric everything was beyond expectationsThis dress fit fantastic!!! You can wear in fall with jean jacket! Be prepared to iron or steam. Major wrinkles when arrived.When I opened the package the dress looked very boxy. I was nervous but when I wore it for family pictures is was very pretty. Just be sure to steam out the 5000 wrinkles beforehand
