I thought this dress was gorgeous online but I was a bit disappointed when I received it. I’ve had it for months and haven’t worn it yet for a few reasons. First, the fabric is a bit of a cheaper feeling polyester than I expected. It’s a bit static-y, and sticks to me/itself which is not what I expected for the price. The other issue I have is that it is lined in black almost everywhere except the sleeves, the bottom of the dress and then the ruffled collar at the top. This normally wouldn’t be a big deal but it is with this dress because with the dark print on one side, it is white on the other side where it’s unlined. I hate seeing the white side of the fabric at these important spots and think it makes it look cheaper than it is. And since it is a wrap with a lots of fabric, you can see the white backside where it isn’t lined on the ruffle on the bottom quite often when I walk or swish around. This is frustrating because it feels like they cut corners a bit; lining it in these small areas where you can actually see the backside often would give it the most impact.
Second, the fit is a bit strange. I felt like it is both too big and too small at the same time. Too big because it has lots of material that kind of drown my shape in the bottom half. It felt too small on the other hand because the top is quite a bit lower than I expected.
I do love the print and the look it is going for in, but their execution here was a bit of a miss for me.
