Love the fabric and the feel. It is very versatile to wear.
I would recommend you size up for the bust area

Parable Dress
Fabric is lovely, however bodice area is cut too low with not enough coverage. Image on website lead me to believe there would be more bodice coverage.

Wowza!!
This dress is so light and the style and fabric are gorgeous. I’ve already washed and ironed it. Just like new. Also you can wear short sleeve under the dress or a cami. Throw a white blouse overtop and tie in a knot in the front. Very versatile! I had to size up to a L because the bust area was a little snug.

BEAUTIFUL DRESS BUT FABRIC TOO STIFF
I love the fabric and I love the design. BUT I don't think this fabric works with the cut of the dress. A fine cotton would allow the dress to hang a little better. The stiff fabric causes the dress to "balloon" out and isn't super flattering. Maybe with a few washings, the fabric will fall a little lighter!?
