Its super soft!!! Nicely made just a little long (I'm 5'3 and 150 pounds) but I intend to wear it with leggings anyways. I would say as a dress you will see your butt cheeks through the lace so yeah, leggings recommend unless your one of those kind of girls lol.  Washed in a lingerie bag on gentle cycle and hanged dry, came out nice. Fluffed in dryer once dry with no heat to smooth out the wrinkles from air drying. got lots of compliments on it.
