Sakura Reversible Mid Length Wrap Dress - Clearance

I wanted something flowy and with a subtle shine to wear to dance events. This dress looked amazing and felt just as airy and comfortable.

It’s double the options! For a dress that already has so many! Love this dress.
Note that it fits slightly smaller than the non-reversible Sakura dress. Still fits! Just the seaming is different to accommodate the reversibility.

Reversible Sakura Midi Convertible Dress - Clearance

If I could I think I would give a 2.5 star rating. I ordered this dress online with some trepidation but I was really hopeful. I had watched a lot of videos and looked at lots of pictures and I really like the look of the dress. I excitedly started trying it on as soon as I got the package in the mail. There is a lot that I do like about the dress really. The pros: I like the fabric and the colour (I got black and blue reversible), the fit is quite flattering, it's fairly easy to wrap even with my very limited experience.

There is one really big con that for me made me give it this lower rating. The dress really does not stay in place. I am larger chested and there is no way I can get the strapless style to stay up, even after trying to tuck material into my bra. None of the styles that I have tried with any kind of sleeve stayed in place either. The fabric acting as the sleeve rolls up and shifts as soon as I lift my arms up even a little bit. The edge of the fabric is unfinished so it rolls over almost immediately. As I was trying the dress out I realized I was a little foolish to not see these issues coming, but I hadn't really seen anything about it in the videos or other reviews I had read. It's possible with a healthy amount of body tape or some safety pins more of those other styles may be possible too, but I haven't tried that myself yet.

Overall, I didn't return the dress because I had gotten it on sale. I will probably wear it once and a while with some of the basic halter neck styles, and I do want to try the dress with body tape/pins. But overall this dress did not meet my hopes.
