This dress is everything I love about Spring. It's light and airy while still covering a bit of skin because in South Dakota we are still looking at snow for Easter. Fit Advice: IT RUNS SMALLLLLLLLL. There is no stretch or give to this dress. I typically wear an 18 in dresses or XL in tops I ended up needing the 3X and it still had a little gap under the chest (but I'm also a 38G).
