This dress ran true to size. I took a leap and bought it on Amazon. The fabric isnt too see through so no under slip needed. I like that the sleeves are enough coverage. The print design is stamped on the fabric. Buttons at the neck are tasteful pearl. It isnt too long like most of the maxis. Im 5’4” and the length is perfect , below the knees. The fabric feel silk- like. I handwash mine and it keeps its form, no shrinkage. The price point was surprisingly affordable and a real bargain. I think of this dress as a seasonal one that could be worn in most mild/ warm seasons like spring and summer but worn with a navy sweater it would work in early mild fall weather as well. I am enjoying wearing it this sumner.
