Finally wore this dress to work the other day. Paired it with my leopard print bow belt instead of using the sash included. The material is good for a crochet piece as it will not fur if you're careful when washing. That said crochet and lace should never be machine wash just to ensure nothing get snag in the machine. My apologies if the details of the dress can't be seen clearly. They named this material ''crochet lace'' during the launch probably cos it resembles lace when wore and material is much softer than the cotton crochet found almost everywhere this season. The material is sturdier than the normal lace so I wasn't that worried about it getting caught anywhere. The design is classic so you do not have to worry about wearing this dress eventhough the crochet craze is over. Dress is also lined so no worries. A good buy for $29 I would say.
