Let me just say, this dress is an absolute must-have for your wardrobe! I originally bought it just to wear around the house, but it is way too cute not to show off. The unique gold pattern catches the sunlight and looks absolutely stunning. I am bottom-heavy, and the A-line cut glides beautifully over my hips without making me look bulky. The short petal sleeves give my shoulders a nice feminine touch. It is breathable, easy to wash, and always gets me endless compliments whenever I step out the door. Just buy it!
