BB Dakota x Steve Madden Hampton Embroidered Prairie Dress

So disappointed by the quality. When I started to put it on my husband asked if it was a costume because that’s what the swish of the fabric sounded like. Fit was okay but absolutely returning

Fit was ok. Just didn’t like it. Shipping was fast and free, though. Which I love about Nordstrom’s! Even the return postage was paid for.

This dress is not cut for girls with larger booties. It fit fine everywhere else except the hips/butt. And the lining material is terrible - such an unpleasant feeling to the touch, horrible crinkly noise and absolutely no stretch. Sadly, this is getting returned.

I’m surprised by some of the other reviews on this dress - I love it! I didn’t realize it had the subtle floral embroidery until I tried it on, which I think makes it more special. It has a great neckline and a comfortable sleeve without excessive volume which I appreciate. I also didn’t have an issue with the length as long as I wore it with a heel (for reference I’m 5’4” and wearing an XL).

I was so excited when I received this dress in person. I opened the box and instantly fell in love with the detailed embroidery. I also liked the full liner, but it made the dress a bit heavy. I think the quality justified the price point, but unfortunately this dress is too long for me in both the torso area and the length of the skirt. I thought about having it hemmed, but I don’t think it’s worth the hassle. For reference I ordered the XS and I’m 5’ and 105 lbs.

Had I been able to see this dress in person I would have passed. The material has a sheen to it that makes it look like a garbage bag. The liner oddly enough feels like a garbage bag or a rain repellent material and makes a “swoosh” sound if you move. I ordered the XL being a size 14/16 and I definitely could’ve size down. Then neck I could pull up a good 3 inches. The sleeves hit my arm a few inches below my elbow and the elastic around the bottom was nowhere near fitted and I could not keep them up like in the picture, it just looked very messy. I got it on the anniversary price and still not worth it. I like the concept of a smocked waist and hope for more options in the future.
