I wore this dress to work, and all day long people were commenting to me how lovely it was.

I did wash it separately and hung it to dry but, ti was very wrinkled. I knew from the type of material that it was going to be, so it was as expected. When I ironed it, it looks again just like I bought it.

This dress is ok. I'm not in love with it, but it's fine. I did receive compliments from many people at church. I felt the print was a bit louder/wilder than the photo. It feels rather conspicuous, but it's ok for summer wear. The waistline was a bit too long for me. I'm only 5'3". But, it's kind of fun to wear.

This has got to be one of the most heaviest dresses I have ever seen, held or worn. For supposedly being cool crisp linen, you could have used it for a comforter and still been to hot. Definately pass on this one if your looking for a spring/summer dress.

I was hoping for bright and good fitting and got dull and too loose. Maybe I should have gotten a size smaller, but the colors weren't as vibrant as I thought they would be and I fear that washing would have faded even more. I returned it.

The color is an "explosion," but not necessarily attractive. I like the comfort, ease and flow of the dress, but the color canvas is not conducive to even being pretty.

This is not at a waist line; in between which is not uncomfortable. I am busty [40D];but the faux-wrap was very gappy, but right across the bustline it was pretty tight. I was hoping this would be a workhouse outfit in my work wardrobe; but the alterations I'd have to make on it would be too much; plus the waist is just too high up.
