Patricia Long Sleeve Lace Dress

This dress is gorgeous! I got the alert it went on sale and immediately purchased it. I’m between a 4 and 6 and 6 fit perfectly. I even have a little room to spare! I ordered an 8 just in case because reviews say it runs small, but didn’t even need to try it on!!! The fabric is very very good quality. This little black dress will be a staple in my wardrobe for years to come!!! Now if only I had some place to wear it to!! LOL.

I had high hope for this dress. It looked so great on the model and reviews aren't bad, so I ordered online. As soon as I slipped my arms in to the sleeve the material felt course, itchy and claustrophobic. I am not a person fearful of tight quarters or clothes. The material was just horrible on the skin. I immediately took it off and returned it. They say beauty is pain...but it doesn't have to be torture.

The styling of this dress is fun and flirty. It runs a tiny bit on the small size. The skirt of the dress is a heavier fabric, but lays nicely on the body. The top is fun and flirty. The entire front chest of the dress is lined in a skin color fabric and it has hook and eye all down the front on the inside. Not sure what the purpose is, as it has a long zipper in the back. Please note the arms and back of the dress are not lined and it is your skin that is showing through. I did wear a black camisole and my back was therefore not exposed to the elements.

I absolutely love this dress and received lots of compliments. A size 4 typically fits me perfect, but this was a little snug. I didn’t have time to exchange and wore shape wear. You may consider purchasing a size up. Otherwise, I would have given 5 stars.

The material feels very heavy and not breathable.

I’m 5’1. Size 2 fits me well. Feel a bit snug. Perhaps, it is designed this way.
