I loved this dress, but I have lost some weight recently and it no longer fits. I wore it once to a wedding and received so many compliments. This dress is beautiful. The cotton is so soft and the light blue color of the dress with garnet polka dots is a perfect combination. I have kept this dress folded in my dresser. I have only hung it up for the pictures. I am 5-2 and this dress does hit me at my ankles, so I did wear heels with it. It is a pull over style with shirring on the bodice so there is a lot of stretch to it.
