This dress has some very mixed reviews--some people like it, others hate it. I decided to try it out after seeing it in ads for awhile. The style and print are okay, but the fabric is terribly cheap, in my opinion. When I first took it out of its packaging, the material immediately reminded of the printed, button-down, butterfly collar shirts that my older relatives wore in the 70s. The manufacturer really could have went with a lot of other materials (any cotton blend would have worked) for this style that would have made the dress much better, but the fabric they chose is mostly polyester, which is NOT a breathable material and, when sweat in, can emit odors. Not a good choice for a warm beach destination, like many of the reviewers have said they will use this for.
**Note: I tried to capture the shiny polyester material used.
