This Dress is heavy but not uncomfortably heavy, like a GOOD quality type of heavy. This dress looks amazing in person and the quality is amazing. I haven’t felt this good in a dress in a long time, it fits nice to your body. You can choose to just wear a bra and undies under it, and it’s still somewhat subtle. Or wear a jumpsuit or tight black dress under it. One of my favourite purchases from Fashion Nova for sure! I wouldn’t use this dress as a pool side cover-up dress. This would 100% be a going out on the town dress and looking high-end.
