The new Hothouse Floral Dress arrived today and I have to say that it is absolutely gorgeous! I am a real nit-pick about quality fabrics and tailoring. This dress is impeccably sewn and the silk fabric is lovely. I think this will make a great fall dress worn with opaque tights and pumps; and a great summer dress with sandals. I am so happy!!

For the record, I am 5'4", 115 lbs. The size 0 fit, but there wasn't much breathing room. I am going to keep the size 2.

The only thing I'm not sure on is the sleeve length. It was bracelet-sleeve on me. Once I scrunched the sleeve over my elbow, it looks fab. I may consider taking this to the tailor to alter the sleeve length.

Looks terrific on you - I wouldn't change anything on it to be honest and the fit and colour/pattern are perfect!:smile1:

But my question here is----- how would you accessorize the outfit? I feel like this outfit could do with a statement necklace or some jangly bracelets, but have trouble putting it together --- i suck at accessorizing.

help?
