Beautiful, soft, thick, flattering fabric. An awesome dress for a curvy girl. Well worth the price. I wore it to dinner on Christmas day and got tons of compliments. Plus, the stripes are slimming and it's so comfortable, you're all dressed up without "feeling" like you're dressed up. It's such a wonderful dress. If there were more colors of it (like if it came in solids or different prints) I'd buy more. It was that flattering on me.
