Not sure why sellers think it's o.k. to advertise something that isn't true. This dress is not made of linen. It is a synthetic blend that has a look that vaguely resembles linen. The hand, drape, and behavior of the fabric is not linen-like in the least. It's rather thin, has a bit of a sheen to it, and feels like it would be hot in the way of synthetic fabrics that tend not to breathe. Disappointing, but should have known better given the price. Duh.I think this dress is actually poly. I washed it and dried it and it came out of the dryer absolutely perfect. Not a wrinkle anywhere. That is not linen. However, it fits well, it has 3/4 sleeves, and it has pockets! I deem this the perfect garden dress for an old girl. I wouldn't wear it to a party but it is a perfectly functional dress that meets all of my requirements for a work dress. When it is hot there is nothing more comfy than a loose fitting dress.Not as described. Definitely not linen or cotton.It’s not t shirt knit but some type of polyester. Very thin fabric but not as breathable as I prefer. Ordered four times larger than normal. Fit great in neck through bust. However the bottom very very full. Since so inexpensive I opted for darts in front and back to give princess seaming and a bit more tailoring.You could read a Newspaper through this fabric. It’s very light weight. It’s very comfortable. I fear putting it in the laundry. I’ll let you know later. If I get to wear it 2-3 times I think I will have gotten my money’s worth.I figured for the price, why not give it a try. The dress was adorable and the material, while not true linen, has that look and feel. It will be a perfect spring to summer dress for the office, kicking around town, or traveling.This item was so bad but I only paid $3.99 for it but the shipping was $21. I didn't bother to return it as I was only going to get $3.99 back. It is a cheap material, poorly made, and very short. It is from China but the company is in the U.S. so it deceiving. If it is too good to be true, it isn't going to be good.Arrived today. Washed it before wearing. Color is true . Fit as expected . No linen or cotton detected. Fabric is smooth and thin but not transparent and dries fast. Sewing quality is first year Home Ec. - machine bound selvages, no linings, 1/4 inch hem etc. Skip the enhanced photo with the model that appears and look at the actual item on the mannequin to get a better idea of what it's like. I have been wearing it a couple of hours now with no ill effects.
