This dress is a very casual, comfortable style; so great to just throw on, but the embroidery/openwork is very dressy and elegant, and elevates the simplicity of the dress.
Sweater is a smooth knit, soft but not fluffy. I like it because it has an interesting pattern with nice shades of brown. I purchased this sweater in medium, which fits well. I’m 5’7’, 130 lbs.
