Great summer linen dress!! Purchased during the heat wave that I was unprepared for when I came to the Cotswolds. The associate in the store helped my pick some linen pieces to wear and she was so helpful and lovely. I wore this and the pants and tops that I purchased a number of times. The fit is wonderful and linen nice and soft.
