I live in the desert so, except for about four months, it's warm. I have begun wearing light sundresses more often in the spring/summer because I think they keep me cooler than constricting jeans, shorts, tees, etc.
I ordered this dress in apricot, and I would say it is more of a light yellow. Nonetheless, it is attractive. It has a sewn-in slip to the knee which negates the need for an additional under item, which is appreciated when it's in the 90s. I was surprised to see there was a cut-out in the back and thought I wouldn't like that, but it's fine.
The smocking on the top is comfortable, not tight or constricting. You can easily go braless in it. You could wear it with a jacket or wear a wrap. It could be dressed up for a wedding or down for a beach day.
All in all, I can't think of anything I would change. In fact, I might order one in a brighter color. Excellent price for the quality.
Oh yeah, it actually sized correctly!
