Web ID: 23072511Cute Dress But Strange Fit
I had high hopes for this dress, but it definitely has some issues, which kind of surprised me considering the designer label. I love the simple A-line design (with a much appreciated lining), the funky, removable feather trim, and the textured, winter-weight fabric…and, don’t forget the nice little touch of bling at the neckline and pocket. Unfortunately, the proportions are way off!!! I am a true size 14, but I had to take the size 16 since the chest/back/bodice was quite tight in the size 14. Weirdly, the sleeves of the size 16 were huge both in length and width, especially where they attached to the body of the dress (it almost appeared to bulge out around the arm holes!!). Also, the hip area bulged out at the side seams and was oddly out of proportion. I got a great price on the dress, so I decided to take it to my seamstress and she is making adjustments to correct the problem areas. I felt the alterations were worth it as I live near Montreal and need a dressy yet warmer dress for an event in January. I must admit, I have had other issues with Karl Lagerfeld clothing being tight in the chest on me in my regular size, so it appears to be a hallmark for this brand. This may be my last purchase of this brand as I don’t think that the alterations I keep having to do are worth the hassle. Obviously this brand is not cut for my figure (although, many of the other reviewers had the same/similar issues with this dress, so maybe it’s not just me).
Beautiful but runs big
Beautiful dress but runs very big. Watch your sizes
A little wide in the hips
Absolutely gorgeous dress, the feather on the sleeves adds an elegance.
KARL LAGERFIELD COCKTAIL DRESS
Lovely dress, I really liked it. The one issue, bell sleeves. I cannot host with bell sleeves. They get into everything. It's a beautiful dress if you are a guest. Stand around and look great!
Gorgeous but fit is off
Beautiful dress but made very small in the chest and shoulders. Also was very wide in the hips. I'm pretty petite, just did not look or feel good on.
Sizing off
Top is tight and lower part of dress oversized… going back.
Both dresses.
Beautiful

Beautiful and great quality!
This dress is great quality, as you would expect from the label. Material is heavy and falls well. I bought it for a January wedding, an indoor/outdoor event, however, it might be too heavy if your event is in a well-heated location, definitely a cold weather dress. Love the detail and the cut. For reference, I'm 5'3", about 155 pounds, D cup, bought size 14 and it fits perfectly. Length falls just at the middle of my knee, which I like. The sleeves are a tad too long for me, but they will be easy to shorten as the feather bands at the bottom of the sleeves are detachable. Very pleased with this online purchase!
