“The fabric is beyond stunning! I just wish the dress was made in a petite sizing as, on my small-framed 5’4, the sleeves are a little overwhelming and the length is several inches too long. As the skirts are slim cut, with no vent at the back, my normal walk is restricted to a hobble. The fit of the bodice is perfect, though, and I love the dress so much that I shall shorten the hem to knee-length: however, beautiful as it is, the fact that I have to alter it means I can’t really give it five stars.”
