Kath Kitson summer dress a disappointment!

[moonstonezoe]

I saw reference to a kath Kitson summer dress onMN earlier this week and ordered it. I am normally size 12 but like a loose fit in summer so ordered a 14. The dress arrived promptly, it was not very generous in size and the short sleeves were so tight I had to send it back.

Which one was it? I keep looking at her dresses as I want a proper tea dress but not sure of the sleeve lenghts etc (don't like too short sleeves as I don't like my arms)

Sweet heart neck line, £79.00.
Buy it from John Lewis and not KK as they have free returns. KK ask for recorded delivery.
It was a lovely dress. It is quite short, I am 5'8" and it reached just above my knee.
I dont think I have fat arms, but it was painfully tight on me!
I hope it suits you.

Is it the crepe one in either black or red or is it a patterned one with either a blue background with flowers and red buttons or a black background with flowers (or something)?

Patterned one with a black background with flowers.

Harlot, If you buy it too, and it fits your arms let me know! I will then think about lipo suction on my arms!!

Moonstone, I went into a Cath Kidston shop today and had a look at this dress and think the short sleeves are a bit on the small side, I didn't try it on however - in fact there was no changing room. I really like the idea of her dresses but the reality is always a disappointment. I am on a quest for the ideal tea dress and have yet to find it.
