I was so excited to purchase this dress, but I think it looks cuter in photos than it does in person. The dress itself is made up of two different layers of fabric. To start, you have the silky polyester dress underneath that provides the coverage for your modesty. This part of the dress constantly rides up and when I had it on, I kept having to pull my skirt part down which was harder because the top fabric is above and pulls the whole dress down. I would have to go from the bottom of the dress and pull the skirt down from there. Then the top layer of fabric is the sheer fabric with patterning on it, and is not the softest fabric. The skirt part has a slit down at the bottom which wasn't advertised on the amazon page. It makes it easier to walk I guess, but I do not like the way it looks. In the end, I wasn't as thrilled about the dress when I was wearing it as I was when I was looking at the photos on amazon. I think I might sew the slit closed and see if I like it more when I'm all fancied up, but I don't know if I would recommend this dress or not.
