Tilly Gingham Sundress

So I saw this dress styled online in one of those photo box ads. I feel like this is just about perfect for all ages. I definitely would’ve worn this in my twenties. I planned on belting it and pairing it with a denim jacket. I like to buy things that work year round so I could see this layered with some boots in the fall and winter. Fabric- definitely the drape of a soft polyester. Fabric was weighty and good. But oh summer. Way too hot for humid climates. No pockets which I knew going in but this one felt extra awkward without them. Fabric is not see through. Gathering at waist (ruching) is double and this is where I said it’s going back. It’s either going to work for you or not. It just hit in an unflattering way. I’m smaller chested but of medium height. I just couldn’t get the belt to work and imo it just needed something. So close. Bummed to send it back.
