Annalee + Hope Boatneck Tunic with Dolman Sleeve

I'm a new fan of Annalee & Hope. I purchased this dress in red and it's a good fit for my small frame; I will be wearing it with a loose belt.I agree the sleeves can expose too much if you raise your arms too high however I intend to wear the dress with a body suit. The dress was styled this way to allow the sleeves to drape a certain way. I think one way to address the issue of the wide sleeve is to lay the dress flat and just where the sleeve meets the rest of the dress at the side tack the front and back together with a couple of stitches just above the black band. I really think this dress is stylish with an easy fit. My only suggestion would be for the manufacturer to line the inside of the sleeve with matching fabric -- this would add to the cost but certainly give the dress a very high end look.

the only way to wear this lovely dress is with your arms firmly glued to your sides - otherwise your whole torso is exposed by the sleeves; i cannot imagine how an item with this design flaw got to the retail stage. i would appreciate feedback from the designers.

This dress is gorgeous... except the sleeve openings are huge and reveal from below your panty line up your whole side to your whole bra. You could not wear this without a full body suit underneath. I even tried it on a second time to try to find a way to wear it... to no avail. It is really a design flaw.
