TL; DR: If you’re buying one of these to wear around the house like I did, I highly suggest you choose a decorated dress instead of the plain ones, unless you’re going for the all-black. The fabric is rayon so these dresses are breathable and cooling with adjustable straps up top and two pockets that can actually hold things without falling out!

Edited to add pics:

I live in Arizona and take a medication that causes me to sweat. It’s ridiculously uncomfortable, but depending on what I wear around the house, the garment can make all the difference in the world when it comes to whether I’ll break out in a sweat or not. I’m also very picky about clothing or linens, etc. and specifically the materials. Garments have to be soft, but also breathable. Cotton is great but is usually not sufficiently soft until many, many washes later. Many of the dresses/nightgowns/kaftans I find on Amazon are polyester or a cotton/polyester blend and therefore not breathable and instead feel like you’re wearing something that is stifling to the skin it’s covering. So when I do finally find something I like, I tend to buy several versions and that’s what I did with these.

These dresses are very, very loose and because I’m so short and a bit heavier than I’d like to be, I find most dresses to be too loose up top or too long for me and drag on the ground. When I say they’re loose up top, I mean that they fit accordingly and therefore fall really low on my cleavage area. However, neither of those issues are a problem with this dress. The adjustable spaghetti straps up top allow me to fit the strap higher so that my cleavage is properly covered and comfortable. I’m 5’2.5” and both the xl and xxl fall almost on top of my feet, so they’re the perfect length for me without dragging on the ground. I did find the xxxl was slightly too long, so keep that in mind if you’re short like me. To be fair, unless you’re well over 200 lbs, I can’t imagine you’d need anything larger than the xxl as these are very loose.

Long story short, I have finally found something I can wear around the house all day that is super comfortable and also breathable. Did I forget to mention these have two pockets too?? I don’t think I’d wear these out of the house, but that’s probably more an issue with my confidence than it is the dress itself. Overall, these dresses feel sturdy and beautifully drape over the body. The rayon fabric is soft and breathable as opposed to many dresses that feel similar but are instead made of polyester which will impede airflow uncomfortably. I really can’t say enough about these, but I’ll leave you with a bit of a heads up. I bought patterned styles first then loved them so much I bought the solid colors too. If you wear them around the house like I do, or if you wear them out and are the type of person that is prone to spilling, stick with the designs and skip the solid colors. The solids, with the exception of the all-black, show stains very easily and they’re super visible. You could spill the same thing on the patterned dresses and not even notice the stain, even if it ends up being permanent after washing. Lastly, the solids are prone to visible wrinkles and the designs don’t show the wrinkles as much. This isn’t a huge deal breaker for me since I do a quick steam after I hang them to dry, but if I was packing these in a suitcase for a trip, I know I’d get to my destination and find the solids to be too wrinkled to wear out without steaming or ironing them again which could be a pain.

These dresses are so worth it if you’re looking for something specific like I was. I bought enough that I don’t need to worry that they’ll disappear off Amazon never to return again, which has happened to me in the past once I find something I really like. They cover enough that you don’t feel like a floozy wearing them around the house with company over or around the kids 😂 but still feel feminine and pretty while wearing them! I hope this has helped someone!
