So this is brave of me ... I bought the dress (sadly before all of the hoooo ha just because I wanted a casual midi navy based dress for weekends). It is polyester but not scratchy. I am short. It is, I think, an elegant style. I like the print because it is not flowers or spots. I have altered the sleeves though because they were well annoying.
They did a net dress in the same print. That was Halloween fancy dress.
