I bought this for my area's hot and humid summers and it does not disappoint. It's cool and airy and will hide any less-than-perfect tummy and hips. The first time I wore it out, I got compliments from strangers, which was an added bonus. The dress is well constructed and I love that it has deep pockets where I can stash essentials and leave my purse behind. I 100% recommend for a cute dress solution to hot weather.
