I LOVE this dress! I love the fit, the style, the fabric, the print, the softness, the way it feels, the way it makes me feel.

They have the best prints and solid bamboo fabrics. If you've never sewn with or worn bamboo lycra, you should sometime. It really is amazing. It's one of the softest fabrics around.
