This dress was a recent score at Marshall's. I instantly fell in love with the feminine details (ruffled neckline/crinkled pleats) and quality of the dress (fully lined). My eyes bulged out when I saw the original French Connection price tag of $178 and then Marshall's price tag marked down to $44. I knew the length would be too long but that's an easy fix. I'll be taking it up right to my knees.
At first glance, this seems to fit fairly nicely besides the length right? I wish! This dress was made for someone much taller because the elasticized waist sits much lower. When I tried wearing the dress where it's supposed to be, the top portion looks really baggy and strange. I had to pull down the waist and belt it to hold in place. It's hard to describe what I am talking about but I will have to figure out how to bring the elastic waist up and hope that fixes the baggy top portion. The arm holes are slightly too big so from the side view, it's not very attractive. I will be seeing my mom soon so she will help me fix this dress. I think post-alterations, this dress will be so perfect. I love the crinkled pleats and color. I'm really glad that the dress doesn't pouf out and the cut is very slimming.
I've had really good luck with Marshall's lately. I also found this bracelet holder for $8 and several pairs of comfy ballerina flats.
