High quality construction!
Love this dress! The construction comparable with high end clothing. Lots of detail. Quality materials. Parrots! The dress is lined with a built in slip. Again, quality! Sadly, this is the only Novica XL that has run too large for me. Deciding whether to send back for a size down, which I'm afraid will then be too small, or simply return the XL. The cut of the dress, on me, leaves the side of the dress too low under the arms and it also pockets away from the body in same area. I E if I don't keep my arms down, I will be a bit 'exposed' or my undergarment will be! I'm not sure what I will do, but thought I might pass this info along. I can promise that this is a high quality, well made piece and I am impressed!
Nice colors, great stichwork, and a lot of character
I was somewhat on the fence about how cartoonish the birds looked in the picture, but I love birds and I love purple, so I figured it was worth getting. Up close, you can see just how detailed and perfect the stitchwork is. It also becomes clear that she is depicting these birds in naturalistic poses that I recognize from my own birds. Ms. Perez is clearly both a great seamstress and a great observer of nature, and she also has a good color sense. I also really like the composition on this piece.
