Cap Sleeve Bouclé Tweed Sheath Dress

Another used and damaged item was sent through an online order. I wish quality control were more important to Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack. The perfume was so strong when I opened the shipping bag that it made my whole room smell, and the dress had a torn pocket. I took a photo of the torn pocket and the tag that must be attached for returns to prove the dress was already used or a sample before it reached me. HAHAHA That tag is there to prove the dress is unworn, yet this one clearly was used or a sample because of the damage and the scent. The shoulders were wider than I would usually purchase but not terrible. However, the fabric made my arms itchy when they touched it. I am 5’1 and the dress hit the middle of my knees. A size 6 was definitely the right fit for me in this piece.

I was expecting a dress similar to that in the images which is more of a white dress with black trim. The dress is more of a black dress with white trim. It hits right at my knee (5’2”) and has pockets, but also feels/looks like it’s for a Grandma.

The dress that arrived is not the one that is pictured. The dress that was sent was a black background with white print. It also had a shimmery silver thread running through it, which also was not pictured. Definitely returning.

It is nicely lined and fit as expected but with the delicate knit mine had a popped thread right in the front center of the chest. I know you can easily fix but I was nervous that the rest would continue to snag after everywhere. It is a beautiful tweed but ended up returning.

I love that this dress has hidden pockets, big enough for your whole hand and small items. There's a sparkly thread woven into the fabric that can't be seen in the pictures, making it a bit dressier. I'm 5'6" and the dress hits me just at the knee, much longer than pictured on the model. I wear a 34DDD bra and this dress was snug in the chest. Size up, if needed, for amore comfortable fit in the chest area. Check the pockets when you get it. The left pocket had a hole in it and I had to return it, but reordered a replacement because I like the dress.
