This dress is adorable and I ordered it as soon as I saw it online. I got it with the 30% off, which was still expensive, but not as bad. Definitely not worth the full price, IMHO. It's a linen-y type material, feels nice and heavy. HOWEVER, the dress is HUGE. I ordered an XS, I'm usually a S or XS in dresses depending on the brand, and the chest part has about a half-inch or an inch of space between my body and the dress itself. I was expecting it to be a bit more fitting up top. It's also quite long, I'm 5'7 so it doesn't feel too bad, but for anyone shorter than that they may feel swallowed up by this dress. Love the shoulder ties. Conflicted on whether or not I'm going to keep - maybe a good beach dress!
