I think it's pretty, but I don't know if it's worth $300 bucks. Given the picture, I'm guessing it's jcrew? If so, it is possible that it will go on sale or you might be able to find a coupon, there were a couple floating around last week.
A $300 linen/cotton dress from JCrew? Not in a heartbeat. I would stalk it for a while and see if it lands on thier sale pages. It is a gorgeous dress, but cotton for that much money seems a tad crazy- even if it's easily within your budget.

$300 for a J. Crew sundress? It is the cutest thing ever, but wait for a sale. I just can't see why it's so much unless it's a limited edition or something
I wouldn't pay $300 for a cotton/linen dress from JCrew. No way. I think they are getting too big for their britches. Wait for a sale if you must have it, but I bet you could find something similar at the mall for a lot less.
