Cap Sleeve Fit & Flare Dress

The dress is nice and the material is a good weight for the winter months. But there is a seam down the front, which is fine, but the two pieces of the front did not line up fabric-wise. In fact on one side the stripe effect running through the fabric was slightly slanted. This color dress is reduced more than the same dress in navy blue. Perhaps there is a defect on dresses in this color? I would hope not; I expect more of Nordstrom. I did not try to exchange it because I wanted it for the holidays. Sad to return it, though.
