Flattering design, elegant dress
I love this dress--normally wear a "true to size" 6, but followed the advice to size down and it was right on. A similar style from the same company in a 6 with a V-neck was too small at the bustline & shoulders, but this fits perfectly. I was worried the high neckline and sleeves would make it a bit dowdy--in my early 60's and don't need any help there, but it's really flattering. The back is lower (but still above bra line) and the dress is slit up the back, so it feels nicely body-conscious, while the nearly to-the-elbow transparent sleeves hide my upper arms without looking matronly. While the dress has some expected "heft," the silver beads are small, so it's not as heavy as some beaded clothing in this line. The shaping under the bustline also makes for a flattering fit. The gowns made by Pisarro are a welcome relief to those of us who choose not to swathe ourselves in neon-colored spandex. Thank you!
