I am petite in stature and frame (5'1" and 100lbs), so upon first receiving this dress (which I ordered in long sleeves with a cuff) I felt like I was swimming in it! I did not realize the style of this dress is old-fashioned with quite large sleeves (especially when ordered long-sleeved) and a very loose bodice. The fabric was beautiful, but the fit was too loose and baggy for my preference.
I sent photos to Amy and communicated what I was looking for. We switched the long sleeves out for the 3/4 sleeves with the custom cuff you see in the photo and took 1.5 inches off each side of the bodice.
In the end, it's still a little roomy, but now it's just right. I plan on wearing this through another pregnancy (Lord-willing) and postpartum (the empire waist and roomy bodice allow for this). And in the meantime, this is one of my favorite dresses for everyday (in fact, I'm wearing it right now)! Excellent quality, comfortable, and beautiful!

When the dress arrived, it was more than I expected. It was so lovely and feminine, and made so well. It really makes me feel like a lady.
