A long, heavy gown would be too much for warm weather. The material used in this piece is light & very comfortable unlike some lingerie I’ve worn. Some of the lacy ones tend to be itchy. This one isn't. It’s very smooth & breathes very well. The end of the dress hits right about mid-thigh so it’s still sexy yet modest. The straps are adjustable to give you a more custom fit. For us busty girls, there are underwired cups which are slightly padded for added lift & support.
