Describing clothes

1. Read this text and answer the questions below:

My favorite item of clothing is a dress. This is not a dress for a formal event but it’s just a
summer loosely dress.

It is a knee-length, sleeveless, black dress with a small pink flower pattern. I think it is made
of cotton mixed with some polyester. This mixture makes it is not only breathable, but also
very easy to care for. It doesn’t need dry cleaning, or ironing and it dries very fast when you
hang it after washing. I got this dress from Ross in Las Vegas. Although I cannot remember
how much I paid for it, I don’t think I had to pay over $20 for it.

I love this dress because it is very comfortable, it makes me feel relaxed in hot summer days
and it always reminds me of the summer days spend in Las Vegas.
