a beautiful dress not for everyone
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's gorgeous BUT people are correct that you must have very slender arms (and preferably broad shoulders) to wear it well and comfortably. I appreciate the weight of the material.

The fabric was too thick,
The fabric was too thick, resembles the flying nun habit - Only missing the coif and veil. Arms were also very tight.

So good!
This dress is so much better than expected. I love the fabric! It's a great weight and won't wrinkle when I pack it for an upcoming trip. The shoulder cutouts elevate the look of the dress, which can easily be dressed up or down. As others have noted, the sleeves are tight, especially in the upper arms, but it's not a deal breaker for me. I ordered my usual size Medium and the fit is just right. I can't wait to wear it!

Kalene Dress
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have yet to wear this dress. It is a little fuller in the back than I thought it would be, but I still like it. Looking forward to wearing it soon.

Beautiful dress, but material was just too heavy for the occasion.

Red Kalene Dress
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Dress was beautiful. Unfortunately, as others stated, the arm holes/sleeves are very small. The dress was too big in all other areas while my arms barely fit thru the sleeves.

Gorgeous but Slim Fit
Loved the thick material. Loved the cut. Loved the dress!!! But…the sleeves are too tight for the average person.
