Capelet Velvet Sheath Dress

I really love this dress. The fabric is very nice - a slightly stretchy synthetic velvet - and it is well constructed. It has a very tailored feel but has rouching across the front that eases the fit. The fabric has some stretch to it even though the dress is fully lined. The Navy is a beautiful rich color. It is effectively a short sleeve dress and, since I'm always cold, the capelet works to keep me warm. I've read reviews of this dress commenting that the sleeves are very tight but that is not my experience. Depending on the cut of a dress I fit between sizes 10-14. I ordered a 10 and a 12 in this dress and tried on the 12 first. The top fit perfectly and the little bit of stretch allowed the hip to fit well enough. I haven't had any trouble with the capelet sticking to the velvet across the back of the dress. This dress makes me feel beautiful.
