This dress is ok. The pleats stay in place - but if you look at the stitching - I feel like this dress is literally hanging on by a thread! I wish it was a little heavier fabric with some stronger stitching - and I think it would be fine. When I mention thin - you can see the darkness of a black bra showing through this - and a white one even more so. I would generally just wear this with a small denim jacket or cardigan. That being said for  $20 dress - you do get what you pay for.

I won't return it because it is wearable - and as long as it's layered I think it's fine. Oh and you will absolutely need to iron this before wearing.
