This is an absolutely gorgeous vintage style dress that would work just as well for a professional setting as for a picnic in the park. Even though it's a dark color, the material has a light material that is very similar to a crepe style dress and keeps you nice and cool.

Protip: This dress is best suited to someone who is not overly busty, as the lovely bow detail will cause fussiness on a large bust, but the A-line style also works well for curves if you want it anyway!

The fabric has a little bit of a stretch, so that it doesn't feel uncomfortably tight and all the stitching is correct. It's great quality and definitely the same or higher quality than what you would find in a local retail store. I really like the pattern and especially the curved 'peter pan' style collar, which adds a cuteness to it.


Pros:
- Bow detail works great if you're not large in the bust area.
- Vintage style is very fashionable and cute.
- Great quality, with perfect stitching.
- Light fabric is not too hot in summer.

Cons:
- Must be hand-washed.

For this price, it's an amazing dress that I wouldn't struggle to recommend to anyone.
