The fabric was better than I expected. It's that kind of thick-ish linen type fabric that you often see with vintage dresses, it's just a little bit rough, in the BEST possible way. Before I say this next bit, I do have to say, that I really like this dress, quite a bit actually, but there are 3 things that bum me out a bit, but not enough for me to not like it.
1st, it is VERY short on me. Now I realize that at 6ft tall, I'm above the average in height, so on anyone shorter it would work very well. That being said, I will absolutely wear this dress with short leggings in the summer, but will wear it over jeans in the winter.
2nd, the black band around the waist gets lost. The weird thing is, the dress fits like a glove, not too tight, not to loose, just perfect. But, the black band keeps rolling up on me and I have to constatly pull it down, which is why I've just put a belt over it.
3rd, I feel like the print looks a little like camo from far away, which is sort of terrible, as I hate, hate, hate camo. However, when you actually look at it, the print doesn't look like camo at all. So that's kind of sucky. As I'm not the camo wearing type. I'll need other opinions on this please!
Now that I've had my say, here are some photos:

I like it! It's nice to see the dress on someone - I had my eye on it as well, but I agree with you that it kind of does look like camo... Not that it doesn't look good or anything!
Cute, but it's a bit too short for me. >_< I really dislike wearing dresses with leggings unless I truly HAVE To sport it with leggings hehe. :)
Looking good.
*grin* I bought this dress too. It is in the customs waiting for clearance! I never had a camouflagey kind of dress so am looking forward to having one. I'm about 5'5 so hopefully it will be an alright length for me. Thanks for showing you in it!
I'm going to repeat Rebecca's words - I like it! It doesn't look like camofarge gear at all. The colour really suits you! I looked at the dress because I liked the style but I have to admit yellow based green (rather than blue based green) doesn't suit me. Which is a shame because I would have bought the dress otherwise.
Also - what a shame the other dress didn't turn up!
hi sweetie, I really love this dress on you , the pattern is great! and the belt is such a great detail :)

Thanks for all of the comments and opinions! They were super helpful in my whole decision about whether to keep it or not. I am keeping it as I just can't get over how well it fits and how much I love the feel of the fabric. Plus, my husband seemed to like it, and he's such a skeptic about everything. I'll just make sure to never wear it in the woods cause I just might disappear into the background!
