Almost perfect

The dress was loose in some areas, but most likely on purpose so that one can take it to be altered (bust and waist area). I bought my true size [6]. This dress meets all my requirements except the arms are too short. I think they would be perfect for someone a little shorter, but the length of the dress is perfect I'm 5'8''. I would have given it the full rating, but I'm just really disappointed about the arms. It doesn't really make sense since the length of the dress was perfect but the arms too short. It really seemed like this dress was designed to be altered with some give here and there...but the arms can't be altered longer, so they should have been made extra-long if anything. It looks like full sleeves on the model vs. 3/4 but these are somewhere in-between. Also the model pose is slightly at an angle, from the front on its more casual, the lace is more of a brocade ivory lace.
