- What is the Leyla midi dress made of?
- It is a polyester blend with about 5% spandex, which gives it stretch and a soft drape. It is not silk or cotton.
- How does it fit?
- It is a sleeveless midi with stretch, so it follows the body rather than hanging loose. Check the brand's size chart, since Johnny Was sizing tends to run generous.
- Can I wear it to a formal event?
- It can work for a cocktail or garden event with heels and jewelry. For black-tie occasions the plain solid fabric reads casual.
- How should I care for it?
- Follow the care label; polyester blends generally wash cold and hang dry. Avoid high heat, which can damage the spandex.
- Is it see-through?
- Solid polyester in this weight is usually opaque, but lighter colors may need nude undergarments. Darker shades are the safer choice.
- How does it compare with other Johnny Was dresses?
- It is far plainer than the brand's embroidered and printed silk dresses. You get the fit and ease, not the signature embellishment.
- Where is the Johnny Was Leyla Midi Dress cheapest?
- At Zappos, for $275.00, as of our latest check.
