Afternoon Tea Dress by Electric Feathers





posted on behalf of Emily

Foolishly purchased from La Garçonne this week (citing Claire, Drunken Sale Shopping - DSS, http://lolaisbeauty.blogspot.com/2010/01/dss.html), I am disappointed to say that that the lovely Electric Feathers Afternoon Tea Dress is far too small for me.

The dress is black and size Medium.

Here is the description from La Garçonne, minus the nonsense about it being "true to size" (it's not):
Afternoon Tea Dress by Electric Feathers. Slightly sheer gauzy dress with pleated skirt & a removable half-moon shaped tie belt.

Wrap front with low v-neck & snap closure / Short sleeves / Slit pockets at sides / Removable tapered tie belt with topstitch detail / Knife pleating at skirt waist / Slightly sheer / Slightly relaxed fit / Color: Black / 100% Cotton.

Google it for further lovely images.

It was originally $562 dollars and I bought it for $282. I will sell it for $250 plus shipping handling in US or Europe.

Unfortunately for me, while lovely and as-described, the sizing is misleading and it should really be a Small. I really think it would fit a size 4 or a petite 6, and it should be sized Small (I'd hate to see the size Small version of this dress). A small bust would be a plus for this dress.

(for reference: I am generally size 8 across the board, or an occasional size 6. I am 5'7." I either wear a Medium or Small in all other labels.)

Listing ends August 20, 2011.
