Notched lapels give it a bit of a tailored look without turning into a blazer dress situation. Collar stays flat and does not curl after a few hours of wear. V neck sits at a reasonable depth, no fussing with pins or tape all night.
Hem length is generous and the fabric has real weight, so the bottom picked up a bit of dirt along the edge.
Ordered a US 6 and it fit true through the shoulders, which is where most things go wrong for me. Waist has that crossed draping, so it pulls in visually without feeling tight. For reference, 5'4" and about 130 lbs, and the hem just brushed the ground in low heels.
Wore it to an afternoon garden wedding and the long sleeves were the right call for an outdoor event in spring. Fabric breathed fine even in direct sun, never felt stuffy. Sleeves have enough room to push up slightly if needed, and they stay put.
Seller answered a question about the lining within maybe half an hour, sent a photo of the inside of the skirt too. Turned out to be lined to mid calf with no itchy seams anywhere. Little bit of responsiveness like that makes a difference when ordering something for a specific date.
Came out of the wash better than expected, cold delicate cycle and hung to dry overnight. Pattern did not fade and the lapels kept their shape without any ironing. Did not need a steamer at all, which honestly never happens with a full length dress.
