Lovely stretch fabric and the pockets add to the comfort and chic look. True to size. All the dresses I buy ftom Atelier-lumieresShops are a size 14 and this one fits perfectly. I bought this to wear over my bathing suit and was not disappointed. The straps of my costume gave the illusion that they formed part of the dress giving it a different look. I felt smartly dressed in the hotel dining room and it was easy to slip over my waist at the pool. A great addition to my wardrobe.
