This dress would work well for many different summer events depending on your shoes and accessories.  The color and pattern on the dress are nice and vibrant.  I like the fabric for now (and it is not see through) but I haven't washed it yet so I am hoping that it washes well.  I ordered an XS and I like how this dress fits and flows, although it is very fitted in the chest areas for me (for reference I am 5'2", about 95 lbs, 32D chest).  You may need to consider a strapless/convertible bra/no bra.  Overall, I like this dress and would recommend.
