Now this is a maternity dress but for some odd reason the label doesn’t say that.. i have some other items though that are also from gap that are totally without a doubt are maternity don’t say that on the label but some items do say maternity. It’s a mystery. I don’t get it. But wanted to be transparent with you. there is A LOT of stretch to this dress. A LOT. Size small but really more of a medium. It’s a nice, quality knit that I’m not sure comes across in the pictures. This could be an everyday house dress or easily a dressier dress so just know what you’re buying. It’s past your knees but certainly not ankles like mid calf. It’s very breathable in case you are a sweaty person. Omg HORMONES!!!!! Worth noting I am trying to sell my cactus costume.
