I was it two minds when I first received this dress as the fabric is like a fine mesh but after putting it on I fell in love with it! So light weight it feels like nothing on! It's a great maxi dress to wear out at night with ankle boots or on a cooler autumn day with biker flat boots and leather jacket. It's a very versatile dress as the under slip is separate so you can wear the fine mesh dress with other colour slip's underneath (other than the black one it comes with) and you have a whole new look. Alternatively, wear something fitted, sparkly and knee length or short and you have a great evening look. Sometimes less is more and this dress is positively sexy and much more! I'm 5'8 and the length is perfect with heels or flats. I'm a size S and the P/S fit's me perfectly. Great Dress!
