The black bow in the back is such a lovely detail too. I tried on the eyelet shirt dress in navy (you can see pics on my blog), but I found the material to be extremely clingy. No drape at all, as cate above mentioned. You look great in white though but there are plenty of other white dresses out there. The light blue seersucker though is more unique looking.
