I ordered this for a style of rockabilly I plan to play later this month. It's very soft at the top and the skirt material is actually quite thick. It's definitely not for hot weather. Other than that, it goes perfectly with my costume, it's so cute and retro. The neckline is cute too, but not too revealing. It also has pockets, which can make us all happy I think! I thought it was a bit big but that might be because I was losing weight.
