This is a great dress for hot southern summers (and fall). I love the weight, length, simple look, functionality, a little shape but no snug waist. Fit true to size. I would wear it all summer in a few colors, absolutely. 4 stars because the fabric quality isn’t great. It arrived pilled up with some loose threads and after 2 wears, the corners of the pockets are starting to come unsewn. I would pay a bit more for good enough quality to machine wash. That being said, a good dress is hard to find and I will probably order the other color. More colors, a little sturdier, and this would be perfect.
