Advika Long Sleeve Dress

First, this really is cute in person. A perfect little block print summer dress with lightweight cotton (with an underlayer that isn't two sizes smaller or stops at the thighs, it's really nicely lined. The metallic thread is VERY shiny silver (I'm not super crazy about that since it's a vertical stripe throughout the dress every inch and it kind of is distracting.) Also, while this is meant to be oversized, it's much bigger than I had anticipated. I'm only 5'4 but it's ankle length on me. Finally, the front doesn't stay tightly closed, but not due to sizing. The fabric and trim is sewn almost on a curve so it gaps open, no matter how tightly you tie the strings. I can't see wearing this without a cami under because of this, which is kind of a bummer!

I bought this for my granddaughter’s graduation but it will also be appropriate for a fall wedding I’m going to. It’s absolutely beautiful and comfy at the same time - who could ask for anything more? TTS, I got the medium, I’m 5’7”, 130#. The gold thread is very subtle, don’t worry about looking too blingy. I love it!
