I bought the black and white chevron and black and red chevron designs. The dresses were two very different materials. The black and white was a silky, stretchy polyester and the black and red was sort of a rough, thicker polyester blend. The latter also had rough, raw seams where the black and red sections were stitched together to form the skirt - not very comfortable to sit on. Both dresses were slightly see-through in the top as well. All that said, they both are cute and relatively comfortable - perfect for a recent cruise, and I will wear again.
