I tried many different brands, styles and fabrics, and ended up sending all the others back and buying 4 different prints of this dress. I absolutely love this dress! I had to rethink my entire summer wardrobe because I cannot handle the southern heat. The rayon/spandex fabric is perfectly light and cool, and it doesn't wrinkle so it'd be a great dress to take traveling. And best of all, it doesn't hold underarm odor. I wore it several times in the heat before it needed washing, which I can't say about any other fabric, especially polyester. I tried the polyester dresses and they were much too hot. I tried other styles and they made me look like a rectangular box, or were too fitted to my body. This one flows nicely on my post-menopausal body and doesn't hug anywhere to show flab. I also got prints for this reason, and because I also don't even have to wear a bra with these (you may if you're larger busted). I just put this dress on over my bike shorts with pockets for my phone and keys (or put your keys in the dress pockets), and I'm ready to go. So simple and comfortable! I even get compliments because it looks like I made an effort to dress up, when in reality, it's just pure comfort and ease. And it's best to air dry so it doesn't shrink (rayon shrinks a lot). Don't put it in the dryer! I even put mine on slightly wet once, and not only did it cool me in the summer heat, it dried very quickly (too quickly for me!).
