The color of the blue is really lovely, but I was expecting the cotton to be as soft as it was on the Hilansha patio dress, and it wasn't. Plus the neckline and body were both super-wide, yet the arms were tight, so sadly it went back. I had returned the patio dress a month or so ago because the size small was too large, and the length didn't work on me. I had considered having it altered like I did the Lucy patio dress from a couple years ago, but it would have messed up the pattern on the bottom of the dress, so I decided to return it instead. I do like the lemlem® pieces when I can get them on sale, but so far have not had any luck with the latest releases.Melissa@AllThingsSimplifiedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06076948687302539385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-83845662147963353232013-07-11T06:28:04.194-04:002013-07-11T06:28:04.194-04:00I have the iphone case.

It was cheaper online, but my store matched the price and with the extra 40% it came to $59.99, which I feel is a good price for this dress. It’s a sturdy linen/cotton blend. My skirt size is usually a 4, but I had to size down to a 2 as the dress has a boxier fit and I’m smaller up top. The length was good – shorter, but not revealing. I’m 5’6. I wore the Capri sandals and a denim jacket and it was perfect for a summer date night! I wasn’t sure about the print but it is super adorable and in prettiest shades of blue. <br />Oh, and I added some JCA favorites to the Looking to Sell post very late last night....take a look.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17709688541144120270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-12013725912058276642013-07-09T14:23:10.876-04:002013-07-09T14:23:10.876-04:00I just got the graphic dot underwire tank size 0 i...I just got the graphic dot underwire tank size 0 in deep violet 26.99 after promo and the punk floral bandeau top xs/punk floral teeny hipster xs both 14.99 after promo in the mail. They look like great suits can't wait to try on the one piece since I have never owned one before. My only complaint is that my punk floral top only came with 1 strap which I guess happens when you order final sale. I probably would've worn it without the straps anyway. Can't beat the price.

I'm usually a 6 in J.Crew tops and a 4/6 in their dresses, and took both colors of the cami in a medium. It's a very nice lightweight silk! The indigo version is fine without anything beneath, though there will be some peeking at the bra on the side. The ice color however is a little sheer.

The body is so soft and cozy with the little slub yarns, and the slight sheerness of the sleeves really lets your arms breathe.
