Review on Renaissance-Style Boho Lace Trim Dress By Anna-Kaci by Katie Ramirez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Pretty cotton dress, but.

This dress is beautiful. It's also made of cotton which is the material I prefer to wear. In order for the top part of the dress to fit correctly, you'd have to show lots of cleavage. I'm not comfortable with that, so I removed 2 rows of the elastic with a seam ripper so the elastic would be just below the bust where it's supposed to be. There are 5 double rows of elastic. In my case, a few of the rows were on the breast and not below. Granted if you pull the front of the dress down, it will fit correctly, but you will be showing lots of cleavage. I'm including pictures to show just what I did to make the dress fit me more modestly. I used a '"seam ripper" to remove the elastic, so just be very careful and take your time if you choose to do this instead of sending the dress back. I chose to keep it because it's such a comfortable cotton dress. By the way, my dress is a large and I'm 155 lbs. I put "fit as expected" because there is really nothing else I could put. I didn't put that the dress was "too small" because I wouldn't want women ordering a size larger because other than the cleavage/breast area issue the dress fit comfortably and not tight at all. The first picture shows what the dress looks like on me with the left side having 2 rows of elastic removed and what it looks like without the elastic removed on the right. The second picture is of the dress turned inside out so you could see how it looks with and without the elastic removed.

Pros
  • The lace detailing on this dress is absolutely stunning
Cons
  • The dress has too many unnecessary details and embellishments
