Josie Floral Appliqué Sleeveless Dress

This dress is a movie star dress. Shoulders can be worn up a bit more than the picture shows. However, the lace which has a mesh under it, and a short slip under that, has no stretch. None at all. And it is a bit small. I wear size 14 most of the time and the XXL in this was very tight. Had to have someone zip it for me. And I wear a 40C bra, that fits tight too.

Purchased on clearance as a prom dress for my 16 year old. She fell in love instantly when she saw it online. She is 5’4” and 115ish lbs and we ordered XS. The shoulders were way too wide for her tiny frame. Luckily we have a seamstress in the family who helped alter it. It is well constructed, with boning and lining. Like another reviewer commented, the lace was unraveling in places, we just trimmed the strings and it looks fine. She hasn’t worn it to dance in so we will see how it holds up. Overall I’m happy with the purchase but would not have been satisfied if I had paid full price.
