The thick, stretchy fabric hugs every curve without feeling restrictive, and the long sleeves make it perfect for chilly evenings. I wore it to dinner and got asked twice where it was from, though I did have to fiddle with the open back when layering a jacket over it.

The open back is such a subtle surprise — it makes the dress feel a bit more special than your average sweater dress. I love that it's thick enough to wear without feeling self-conscious, yet the stretch means it moves with me instead of clinging.

The fabric is thick and stretchy in all the right ways, so it hugs without clinging. I wore it all day and the open back never felt drafty, which honestly surprised me.
