It's soft and extremely comfortable. I love that I can wear it on its own casually or dress it up with a corset or bodice. Usually necklines similar to this are fairly big on me and the shoulders will fall down, but I didn't have that issue at all with this. I got a size S and usually wear XS or S in French Meadow items. It can also be worn with the sleeves down or up on the shoulders and gives a different feel to your outfit. Definitely recommend this dress!
