This dress is lightweight and hangs and flows beautifully. While the fabric is thin, it doesn’t look or feel cheap. I’m 5’ 6.5” and the length was perfect for the back to hit just at my ankles as shown in pictures. I often have trouble with the shoulders and sleeves being too tight, but the dress has plenty of room to be comfortable without being tight. I usually wear a size large and it was true to size with the waist being easily adjusted. It also packs well, and the few wrinkles it had hung out without any pressing or steaming. I picked the navy floral, and had several compliments on it at the semi- formal summer wedding I attended.
