Lvenzse Women's Maxi Dress - Boho Chiffon Floral Printed V-Neck Long Summer Dress for Beach, Vacation & Casual Wear

I'm 5'6", 175-185 lbs, & ordered size Large.I'll start with what I didn't like:1. Loose fit looks big.2. Waste line too high.3. Material shredded after 4 washings.4. Did not have the cuffed sleeve.Liked:1. Not too big, not tight, not binding nor restrictive (its comfortable to wear & move in).2. Colors vibrant, even after multiple washes.3. Material soft & sheer creates soft look.4. Nice & long, touches top of foot. Sleeves go to wrists.5. Nice amount of material. Didn't try to cut corners by using less materials.6. Overall it's very lovely & I get compliments everytime I wear it.Details:1. Fit: It's not too big & it's not to tight anywhere. But when I wear it, I feel like it makes me look bigger. I'm not sure if its because the waist line is high, or if it's just the loose look. I can't really figure out how to make it tighter without the material being strained. Sometimes I try to pull the waist line down to see if that help the upper not look as bulky, it does slim it down, but then the armpit and side become strained, which is uncomfortable so I always bring the dress waistline back up. (Also when I see how it looks by bringing the waist line down, it then makes the dress too long.)2. The waist line is too high. Though it may be helpful to hiding tummies, but it makes it feel like I'm wearing a maternity dress or a dress made for short people or people with small torsos.3. I received the dress June 9, 2020. I've worn it four times in 3 months (washed it 4 times in the washing machine). I noticed wearing it today that threads were coming loose in the front. When I got home from work the my husband pointed out that I had a big hole in the armpit bottom seam and a hole in the back on the seam where the sleeve attaches to to back of the dress. So 3 locations deteriorating. I'm not really surprised given the material is sheer. But, it would be nice if there was stronger sheer material that accomplished the same effect. I read the reviews before purchasing, so I was aware that the dress is sheer with a half slip. The dress probably would have lasted longer if I hand washed it. But I stopped hand washing clothes after marrying & having two toddlers (no time).4. The picture shows cuffed sleeve, but it's just elastic. Still pretty, just isn't as advertised in the photos. It does look more elegant with the cuffed sleeves in their photo, but I'm ok with the elastic (easier to put on/off without cuff buttons to mess with or maybe even be too small.)Overall, it's pretty, refreshing & will probably last longer if hand washed.I ordered another color & 1 size down to see if it doesn't look as top-big & if it will last longer if washed in a net bag (still not hand washing, no time for that...)
