Love the dress, the material
Love the dress, the material (its a stiffer linen- felt very elevated). It is challenging to get into and out of- the buttons at the back of neck are impossible to undo when not in the dress. I needed help to get into it; no one was around when I was getting undressed and after spending 30 mins struggling with the buttons I had to cut the loops around the button. Unfortunate given the cost of dress- I kept it because issues aside I needed it for a day to night series of events and made the rookie mistake of falling in love with it and having no back up plan.
In short- wait for a deep sale and spend some of your savings on having the halter neck buttoks and loops swapped by a tailor.
