I bought this dress to wear to a hot August day funeral. The weight was great, but the sleeves were too snug, felt tight, and I was afraid I might tear the sleeve off with a sudden move. So I returned it for a refund.This dress is very comfortable and lightweight. Would work anytime of the year. The material is 100% polyester, NOT cotton. Would order another one.Wear it to church and for dress up occasions. It might be better to offer different size. I wear a medium and most of the dresses in large are just right. I plan to keep the dress and can wear it with a belt although it makes it shorter and I like the long look.Dress was too large and cheap fabric.I would ask for only one change in this dress and that is for the bodice to be about 2 inches longer for those who have a chest and it doesn’t ride at their neck! Then this attractive dress (it is cotton/rayon not cotton/linen) would be perfect! Be careful on sizing because it does vary with the print. Feels like wearing nothing. Very stylish!I have been looking for clothes that look good on me for years. I am 5'7" and I weigh 230lbs and am currently wearing clothes size 3x. I had kind of given up. This dress is a dream come true. All my weight is in my belly and it covers it up! All you see is this adorable dress. The material feels really good and is light weight. This may sound like an exaggeration but I literally am going to order 6 more in other patterns.Who ever made this...THANK YOU!!Very comfortable but didn’t look like a night gown. Suitable to wear outside my home.My upper arms are fairly slim for my body size, and the sleeves were almost too tight for comfort. The body is very loose and flowy, so the tight sleeves are odd. I am not convinced that the material is half linen, half cotton. It feels like a synthetic imho.
