Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This dress has become my favorite wardrobe item since I ordered it a week or two ago. The fabric is a thick, unlined cotton that, although it doesn't feel like a ball gown, is very comfortable and feels nice enough that I'm confident wearing it to formal events. The cut is very flattering to someone with a pear-shaped figure, and especially when paired with a petticoat it is enough to make you feel cute as heck! If you're already considering it, this is definitely a dress I would recommend. The one and only down side to me is the cleaning requirements for this dress. When it arrived in the mail the tag said "dry clean" (but not "dry clean only"), which as a starving college student was almost a deal breaker for me. Still I was so in love with the style that, after reading more of the reviews, I decided to try hand washing the dress in cold water and- voila! It worked perfectly without any color loss, stretching, or shrinking, and even when put through a cold cycle in the washing machine it works perfectly so long as you lay it flat to dry rather than tumble drying it. It means that a little more time goes into cleaning the dress than usual, but it honestly IS worth it given how nice the dress is for such a low price. Photos shown are with and without a petticoat.
