Many of the reviews commented that a larger size than usual was needed for comfort or a 'casual' look, so I ordered Large instead of my normal Medium. I am going to trade for a Medium. Because of the cut the Large just looks sloppy on me. I am 5'7" and 145 lbs. with fairly broad shoulders and should still have plenty of room one size down.Fabric is ok - kind of a crinkly cotton - and there were no defects in this one. Hope the replacement holds up.The fabric of the one received looked pre-washed and a bit faded. I think it won’t stay its original color after washing, it fades out. The pockets were rumpled too and won’t lie flat around midsection without ironing first. The dress is one size too small if you assume typical US sizes.The white was definitely pretty see through. It was cute, but very boho and comfortable.I get the navy blue color and it’s lovely. I would have liked it to have been softer but I haven’t washed it yet so maybe after… you never know.The material is nice, soft and pleasing style but be warned the larger sizes fits much much smaller than expected.Fabric is a little stiff and will probably change with washing but I still love the bold check color. Received many compliments when wearing itI thought this dress would fit but it definitely did not. If you’re a bigger girl don’t bother buying it. Now if you’re on the small side definitely give it a try. It’s not ugly at all. The material felt a lot like linen. Not sure it it was or not. I didn’t get the chance to look at the tag on it.i love a shirt dress. this one is well made, style and size just do not work with my body type so had to return it. too small in hips for me and a larger size would be too large in the bust and shoulders. fabric is rustic, scratchy even, may soften up a bit in the wash but likely would not ever be really soft because of the weave.Largos hasta el tobillo casi.
