I truly love this dress. It's so pretty yet casual. I got chocolate and it's very true to what the picture shows. I washed it separately the first couple times and now am washing it with my other dark delicates. The only complaint I have is that the stitching on the very bottom of the dress is crummy. I actually folded it up again and re-sewed the entire bottom hem. Otherwise it looked cheap and was fraying. It is still plenty long (it was only 1/4" fold over) I probably would buy it again because I really do love the way it fits and the style. The embroidering is beautifully done, the fabric is nice to feel and it washes up nicely. Seems to be well made everywhere except the hem - which was an easy fix.
