    Basically just a long shapeless tshirt

    This dress is made of very thin fabric with zero structure or actual tailoring. It's just like a giant tube of fabric, like a tshirt dress or a nighty. The fabric wrinkles over every fold and cranny of your underwear so you have to wear a satin slip underneath it if you don't want everyone to admire your knickers.

    I bought this to wear at work, but with that thin a fabric it's definitely sfw or appropriate. Very disappointing.
