What does mixed-media mean on this dress?

It means the dress combines two fabric treatments, typically a solid bodice with a contrasting skirt panel. That paneling is what gives it more interest than a single-fabric midi.

How does the fit run?

It comes in regular, petite and plus size runs, and shoppers report the runs fit differently. Check the measurements for the specific run rather than assuming your usual size carries over.

Is it good for summer?

Yes. The cotton-blend fabric and short puff sleeves suit warm weather, and the midi length keeps it breezy without being short.

Can I wear it to a wedding or dressy event?

It can work for garden or daytime events when paired with heels and jewelry. It is a casual dress at heart, so it is less suited to formal evenings.

How should I care for the cotton blend?

Expect to press it, since reviewers say the fabric wrinkles. Follow the care label and iron on a low setting to keep the paneling crisp.

Does it have pockets?

The product details do not list pockets. Assume none unless you confirm otherwise.
