Tried it on and is just the right size. However, I must wait until the weather warms up where I live before I can wear it. I'm getting myself sorted for summer. I'll be wearing all my West Indies Wear soon! I love all the prints and styles. I have skirts, tops, beach pants, dresses. Love them all. Kim you are brilliant at what you do. Thank you for bringing us girls such fabulous and cool clothes. ❤️ Lee from Perth.

DETAILS
DETAILS
- FIT : This dress is a more slim-line fitted dress, so it is hugs the hips more. It is super flattering. Remember this fabric does not cling to your body (even when you sweat). If you have curvier hips you may find that the size recommender tells you to go up to a bigger size, which then may be too big in the bust. For curvier women, we suggest you choose one of our more A-line fitting dresses which has ample space built in for hips.

Love this dress! It's easy to wear, doesn't crush even after days in a suitcase, and it's very cool to wear in very humid Fiji. I will be ordering more soon.
