Floral Appliqué Long Sleeve Dress

I was very worried about the fit because of the non stretch fabric. It does have a bit of stretch but I highly recommend sizing up 1. I've seen multiple reviews of this dress to do that. Sized up & the dress fits like a glove!! The applique is very delicate & does pill or fray but it's fixable and well worth it. I'm going to spray starch or a non tacky fabric glue carefully. It would not be possible for the ribbons to not pill with any sort of rubbing against it so be careful. I do recommend though, it's absolutely beautiful.

Seems comfortable enough to wear for a long wedding event. It is quite long for petite ladies; but alterations can be done @ Nordstrom. Size 6 for 5'6" 125-130lbs. (I will need 2"-3" heels to raise hem above floor). One big drawback is the care label reads "SPOT CLEAN ONLY". Some ribbons are frayed along hem, neckline, and seams.

Bought this dress in-store before a short-notice invite to a wintertime black-tie event. I literally got so many compliments I lost track. It’s classy yet unique. This dress hugs curves but flatters — thanks to the black background, raised-texture flowers and waist-defining ribbon belt. High neck, long sleeves and floor-skimming hem make look-at-me shoes and accessories unnecessary. Size was just right — I’m 5’7” 150 lbs, a true 8 — but stretchy enough for wiggle room. Love this dress!
