I love the style of the dress but it appears to be a cotton material which is very stiff. And really attracts lint! I cant find a tag inside with washing instructions which I found odd. I ordered a large because the other reviews said it ran small but I should have got a medium. (I am 5'7 and 135 pounds) I inquired about an exchange and was told that was just fine but I need to mail it back to Thailand apparently at my expense. :( For a $40 dress it probably is not worth my time. And it took a long time to get the dress because apparently it came all the way from Thailand. Not sure what I am going to do with it. Maybe just try to wash it and hope it shrinks.
