Let me just say, if you are on the fence about getting this maxi dress, absolutely go for it! I have never received so many compliments on an outfit. The colors are incredibly bold and saturated, making it perfect for a beach vacation or a summer evening out. The fabric is buttery soft and glides over the skin wonderfully. The smocking at the waist stretches beautifully, accommodating a big meal without pinching! Plus, the flutter sleeves give it a wonderful romantic touch. Did I mention it has pockets? Honestly a 10 out of 10.
