Every time I have worn this dress I have received a ton of compliments. It truly is lovely. The fit is extremely flattering due to the empire waist and A-line silhouette. It’s also extremely comfortable! The fabric feels like the super soft t-shirt material. The length of the dress is roughly 43” long. The only reason I am selling is because the dress is too large for me and my husband said it was time to “thin the herd”. If I still owned a sewing machine, I would have taken it in and kept it! I have this style L.L.Bean dress in a number of sizes and prints. It holds up really well! I only wash the dress either by hand or on gentle cycle using Woolite. I don’t put them in the dryer. Thank you for your interest! If you have a chance, please check out my other listings. I am willing to bundle. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask! This dress is located in a smoke free but puppy friendly home.
