I personally love the Adorae and I think it looks great on everyone, its a really popular dress, Im just not sure how the satin/silk would turn out like you said, thats why I opted for a chiffon dress just to be on the safe side, if you can find a great seller that you know has good quality silk/satin I say go for it! Buf if your really worried about how it will look you may want to go with a chiffon flowy dress which I think will look great in the water.
