I purchased this dress to wear to a family event. I was looking for casual dressy and this dress did not disappoint. Even better, it is so versatile, that it can easily be dressed up even more. It was comfortable and stylish. I would absolultley purchase another in a different color. It washes nicely. I air dry all my clothes, but since this dress does wrinkle easily after being washed, I do a quick fluff in the dryer to dewrinkle.
