The pattern on this dress is absolutely stunning! I really appreciate the long sleeves. Overall, I like the cut/shape of this new style and find it very flattering. The fabric feels a little stiffer than (not as stretchy as) other Svaha dresses that I own. This makes it a little warmer, I think; however, for me it means that the dress is a bit tight around my upper arms.

This dress is even prettier in person! I am petite (5’2”) and it comes right to my ankles. I always order a size up because I’m curvy so the 3x fit perfectly! Extremely flattering for a curvy figure. I will be wearing this one a lot!! I hope they make more in this style!

My size L is gorgeous, sized appropriately, & has generous pockets. I knew it would be a favorite as soon as i tried it on!

Here is a pic of the XL starfish dress overlaid on the old dragon dress, also XL. You can see clearly how much smaller it is. The sleeves are too long AND too skinny for an XL person (our arms are not usually bony). And, the pattern starts at breast level, not waist level! I would normally cut this off under the arms and remove the upper part of the skirt and then reattach the fuller portion to make it into a tunic, but the pattern would then be chopped off at the seams. I am sad. I’m also going to have to make it cap sleeved or sleeveless to fit my arms.
