"I like the length of the dress itself. I dislike the fit of the sleeves...very tight on my upper arms and the length of the sleeves is 5 inches too long... covers to the base of my fingers. I prefer the sleeves to end at my wrist. The smocking was too long for my torso as well. I've purchased 2 dresses from Svaha in a different style that fit me at the time. Since those purchases, I've gained weight and am now 5 ft tall and weigh 180 and my upper arms are heavy. I wanted a simple black dress and this dress looked to be perfect... but alas...not for me."

I need to shorten the
"I need to shorten the sleeves, but otherwise the fit is great."
Ran big. Sleeves were way
"Ran big. Sleeves were way too long and too big in diameter. Had to return it and there were no black dresses in smaller sizes available any more."
Love this dress!
"Love this dress! The smocking isn't tight, necessarily, but it does create a nice shape. Super comfy and easy to wear."
This dress is almost perfect!
"This dress is almost perfect! It’s so comfortable! I wouldn’t have bought it without the pockets. My only complaint, the sleeves are slightly too long."
Terrible fit
"Terrible fit"
My new favorite dress!
"I felt so beautiful in this dress! I wore it to give a conference presentation yesterday (the headset box fit perfectly in the pocket!) and it is soooo flattering! It's the perfect length (I'm 5'7"ish) and the top fit wonderfully - I'm so glad I went with the medium (and I'm a 34DD). The skirt is the perfect balance of volume (because I'm pear-shaped) and flattery. The smocking on the waist nipped it in enough but in a very non-obvious way. The neckline is the perfect depth - I wore a statement necklace with it and the black set that off wonderfully! I wish I could have this dress in more dark colors!"
This dress fits rather peculiarly
"This dress fits rather peculiarly because of the smocking. The top is rather tight if you get a size small enough for the smocking to cling around the middle. If you get a size that is not tight on top, the smocking sags."
Q&A
- It's great that you are attempting petites. When will you have more options?
- We don't have a specific timeframe for introducing new options, but we aim to add new categories annually.
- Does the black onyx dress fit at the waist, or above it?
- The seam is at the waist, though it also depends on height.
