What customers say:
Customers praise the dress for its lightweight, breathable gauze fabric that feels soft, cool, and airy in hot weather, with many noting excellent washability and durability over time. The loose, flowy fit appeals to those using it as a beach cover-up, sleep shirt, or casual summer wear. However, many report the dress runs significantly large and falls excessively long, particularly for shorter individuals. Some note button gaps that expose undergarments and express frustration about the lack of pockets. Despite sizing and fit concerns, most customers find the core fabric quality and versatility worthwhile.

Thin material, no pockets and so few buttons that there are gaps, even on my small frame. Unless you want to use this as a beach coverup, I’d pass. Disappointing that Bean’s qualit

I’m not sure what you’re asking.
The cloud gauze is too heavy for a coverup. It feels hot, and doesn’t flow like gauze should.
Also, it should have pockets for a room key or tissues.
