I had been looking for something like this to wear to my job as a nanny. The fabric is as described, a nice flowy rayon. I ordered according to the size chart, and it is too small in every direction... thighs, hips, bust, AND body, ie. shoulder-to-crotch. I'm a fairly evenly proportioned 5'8". Can't wear it, so I have no idea about durability or washability. Recommend sizing UP one or two.
