This dress is an absolutely perfect find for those of us who want something that's eye-catching and pretty but doesn't show a ton of skin. (The V-neck is lovely but quite demure.) The A-line fit is so classic and flattering, and the skirt has a joyful swing (and is long and well-constructed enough to avoid the "Marilyn" effect on windy days). It's perfect for work, social events, or just treating myself to a movie/museum/shopping outing. And last but not least, it DOES NOT NEED IRONING. Just hang up after a cold delicate wash and give it a quick brush with your hands. By the time it dries, it'll be ready to wear. I now own this dress in four patterns, and can't promise I won't acquire more! (This is my husband's favorite of the four, for whatever that's worth.)
