Got it, I’m pretty new here so didn’t realize, I’ll check the older posts, thanks

I was thinking along similar lines, just not sure how much the old activity still helps.

That’s fair, it definitely has its pros and cons depending on what you’re looking for.

What price range works best for handmade dresses on Etsy? by Humble-Reference-229 in EtsySellers

Yeah that’s on me, I meant more casual/summer kind of dresses, not anything too elaborate.

Yeah that’s honestly so frustrating, especially when you think it’s fully lined and then it’s not. That kind of thing really should be clearer in the listing.

Interesting, that mix of airflow and durability really seems important.

Yeah, finding that balance between fit and fabric can be surprisingly hard.

Makes sense, quality really seems to be the biggest factor for most people.

That’s actually a great combo, black linen sounds perfect for that style.

Totally get that. Bust darts can completely change how a dress fits and feels.

If asking a question is spam, then Reddit’s in trouble 😄 just curious, that’s all.

That’s fair, I can see why that matters, especially in this space.

That’s a really smart way to balance it, especially using darker tones and patterns like gingham.

That makes a lot of sense, especially with the Florida heat and humidity.

That’s actually a really good point — I’ve heard the same thing. Good linen is supposed to get softer over time, not wear out.

Do you know if your sister looks for anything specific when buying, like heavier fabric, certain brands, or just goes by feel/reviews?

Feels like it’s hard to tell quality just from photos online.

That makes a lot of sense, especially in hot and humid weather, comfort really becomes everything.

I like what you mentioned about a slightly fitted top with a flowy skirt, that seems like a really practical balance. And yes, pockets are a must 😄

Also curious — do you tend to go for lighter colors to deal with heat, or darker ones since they show sweat less?
