I LOVE this fabric that H&M does so well. It's lightweight for cool dressing during warm months, but still substantial enough to wear as a layering piece year-round. I knew this color would be sheer, but it is such a beautiful, vibrant color that I took a chance on it anyway. So glad that I did! It is more than I expected in terms of cheerful dressing compared to my nearly all-black wardrobe (which I also love given its sleek and figure-flattering aspect). It's not as smooth as H&M's satin but is still similarly soft with a little texture. The back is completely open so something to keep in mind if considering wearing alone, but since I'd planned to wear it as a layering piece by cutting off the strings, it doesn't matter for me. The balloon sleeves are fashionable without being too cumbersome since it's 3/4 length. It runs quite big, by at least one size if not more, and long as well. I wanted an oversized fit so I took my usual size of XL, but I'd have probably gotten a M if I'd planned to wear alone. I wish H&M would make satin slips to wear under dresses like this, since any other fabric would completely diminish the feel of this fabric.
