Lauren Printed Long Sleeve Maxi Dress

I bought all four pattern designs in this dress and am THRILLED with them all! If there were more patterns, I would buy them also. I can't tell you how flattering these are, especially wearing my big leather belt that I ALSO bought from Nordstrom. I WILL say that the sleeve finishing was not to my taste, as I generally do not care for ELASTIC on my sleeves, but all I had to do was make a couple holes in the wrist channel by snipping some of the seam. Then I clipped the elastic in two places and pulled it out of the channel. I ended up with a slightly belled sleeve, which, for me, is more comfortable and more flattering. The dress, even when belted, goes to the top of my feet, and I am 5'6" tall, weight about 230, hips 48" and bust 42" and wear a size 1X. I have been losing weight and could easily have fit into a large instead, but I am happy to have a loose fit with this 1X that I bought. It is the kind of dress that you can wear a couple sizes too big and it still looks very chic. I am going to buy some more belts in different colors and finishes to match the patterns.
