This dress is pretty but it’s a little scratchy.
Like the other reviewer, I found this dress to be scratchy, mostly around the neck. I washed it before wearing it because of a very strong chemical smell. It hand washed beautifully and the chemical smell was completely gone. Being such a vibrant color, the red did bleed some into the white portion which is what I expected but doesn't detract from the dress's appearance.
I love how this dress looks. It fits perfectly and the fabric is gorgeous. The silver thread is like what was in the skirts I wore in the ‘60’s and ‘70’s. It does bleed quite a bit when washed, even by hand and in cold water. The down side is that the fabric has some scratchiness to it. I am hoping it softens with age. I can wear it in cooler weather with a shirt under it and leggings and be ok but it is a bit frustrating as it really is beautiful and I want to wear it now.
