“One of my favorite pieces”

I wasnt sure I would wear this much when I ordered it. Im not a dress-wearer per se. As it turned out, I wouldnt actually wear it as a dress because its very thin and lightweight. But this has become one of my go-tos as a coverup before or after a shower, stepping outside early in the morning to water plants, or even as a nightgown. Loose and non-binding, cool cotton in a very pretty print and shell buttons.

“A lightweight choice”

This is a very lightweight dress, which can be a positive or negative (it is quite sheer) depending on what your expectations are. Soft pretty colors and a cool option for hot summer days with some clever layering.

“Just what I needed for summer”

I was looking for a mid-calf dress that would be loose-fitting and airy, therefore comfortable to wear around the house and patio. This is it! Good quality fabric, very well made, and the colors are soft, pattern chic with universal appeal. The fullness covers for the delicate fabric. Not see-through--more like see shadowy shape in the sunshine. Its a summertime 100% cotton. If youre looking for comfort, dont worry about the range in size unless youre quite petite. Im 57, size 12, in my 70s and stylin.

“Another perfect summer dress”

Here s another light and cool summer dress by Aftab. This has some little buttons at the top so you can have a looser neckline if desired. The cut, length, fabric is all perfect. Perfect for hot summer days.

“Love, love, love this!”

I confess that I only purchased the Sweet Dreams nightgown (on sale) to earn free shipping on the item I was actually ordering. Now I regret not buying at least two of them since this garment is so well-made, light weight, comfortable, and launders so well. Thank you to the artisan, Aftab, for your fine craftsmanship. As a former seamstress, I sincerely appreciate your skills!!

“Just what was expected & delivered!”

I wanted something to wear to work that would be cool for those every-so-often hot days along the California coast. I wear a pair of navy blue of ankle high tights underneath so it works for a casual work day. The material is such good quality cotton, and the design of the dress is really well-thought out! The entire effect is super cool! Happy, happy.
