I recently bought this dress. I wore it when I went out with a friend and, she asked where I bought it; then, she immediately went to the Novica website and purchased one for herself.
I bought a duster that goes with it, too.
I got this as a bathing suit cover up and it is absolutely beautiful. I sized up (so it would be baggy) but didn't need to. It is well made and the attention to detail in the pattern and sewing is amazing.
