When I felt the weight of this fabric as I took it out of the canvas bag I was like “oh yeah, now I REALLY own a dress”. This is the most simple, beautiful, flowy, adorning article of clothing I’ve owned. The fabric is thick and you can literally feel the quality. It’s warm for winter but not too hot to wear on warmer days, although I don’t really see it as something I’d be wearing to the beach. It has pockets!!! And the waffle weave is so unique. I will say I’ve been told I look Amish in this dress, but I take that as a compliment. I think it’s beautiful.
My one and only complaint is that the bands around the forearm are slightly too tight on my arms(and I have pretty small arms) to slide up over my elbows, which results in the shoulders pulling down and makes the neckline look less boxy and more parallelogram-y.
But, I still wear it all the time, and it’s thick enough that I don’t have to wear a bra. So overall its a huge win.
