Adavi Linen Blend Shirtdress

bought two, unsure of size in this brand. The 8 fits but very blousy in the top. Didn't try the 10. I just ordered a 6, hoping it will fit a little better . The pleats at the waist make it very complimentary, the material is soft, flows and is slightly stretchy horizontally. I like the longer sleeves which hide some crepey skin on my 75 yo arms. It doesn't look like an old lady dress. (hard for me to find these days) It feels really nice, especially the skirt which swishes and swirls, ease of movement, no binding. It is too long and hits near my ankles, but easily remedied.

I tried on this dress and received compliments from other customers before I purchased. ! I noticed that I needed to go down a size. I'm 5'3 and the top half is blousy. I had the seamstress add two hooks near the waist area to keep it flat. She did it in 10 minutes !!! Looking forward to wearing this with wedge or higher espidrilles.
