I love the color of this dress and it's high waist. It is very flattering and comfortable. It is nice enough for church, an evening out, or barefoot on the beach. This dress is lightweight and will be perfect for summer.I plan to wash it on cold, delicate cycle, and line dry. I am afraid it will shrink. I am larger-busted and the stretch makes it fit nicely.I'm 5'8" 185lbs and bought XL. I plan to buy one or two more.
