This beautiful NWT black Pakula dress in size XL features a white lace bodice and back, cap sleeves, a V-neckline, and a high waist with pleated detailing. This beautiful, black and white-laced dress falls to knee-length making it perfect for any occasion, including travel and party/cocktail events.
The pullover style dress is made of polyester and spandex material, ensuring a comfortable and flattering fit. The fit & flare style with a sleeveless design adds a touch of sophistication. Ideal for spring, summer, and fall seasons. The dress tag indicated only the brand and size: Pakula XL. Additional information is available on the site: Uniqistic. See my photos for their suggested measurements. Their sizing chart in the US XL is size 16. Chest 41.3 in. , Waist 35.9 in, and Length: 38.2 inches. The dress is available on that site for $69.00 Retail.
My measurements taken with garment laying flat; relaxed; no stretching of garment:
Chest: Measured underarm to underarm: 18 in; bust 36 in
Sleeve Length: Measured shoulder seam to end of sleeve: NA (cap sleeve) LOTS of stretch to garment.
Waist: 15.5in; waist 31 in
Length: Measured center back, top to bottom of garment: 37 in.
Hmmm. Quite a discrepancy, esp. on bust. (difference of 5 in. between chart and actual garment measurement.).Also, waist (difference of almost 5 inches). If interested in the dress, I would definitely check the measurements of a dress that I already own and that fits well, and compare against my actual measurements taken of this particular dress. Of course too, I took measurements without stretching the fabric. The dress is gorgeous and does have lots of stretch. The top is fitted and the the bottom has a lot of flair. It is the dress we wanted to wear growing up, so that we could twirl and twirl, the dress flowing, and we never wanted to stop. The lace too is gorgeous!
IMPORTANT: Next day, renewed outlook: Last night I did not pick up on the site's claim that they measure themselves and sometimes have errors! Noted in one of my photos at bottom of size chart!
