This dress has been a great foundational staple for my wardrobe. It’s soft fabric from the start, and remains so through several washes. Straps are adjustable, and it fits just relaxed enough for me to feel comfy no matter my weight fluctuations, and it hugs curves just enough to be flattering even for someone like me with a belly. I’m 5’0” and the length hits a third of the way down my calf, which has been flattering for me. The slit goes up just above my knee. It packs very small as a basic travel/lounge dress, and you can dress it up with a light jacket or cardigan. I love throwing this on for when I want to dress nice for a casual get-together, but don’t want to go through the trouble of matching tops and bottoms.I’m ordering a second one since it’s such a great staple, and I’d love to always have one on hand between laundry loads.
