And by that I mean endless color pairing options! I’m loving the new cut of sleeveless and swingy-ness of the bodice. I’m patiently waiting for more patterns to come 🙏🏾

Thoughts on Palindrome
- sizing - I’m normally a 1x in the sleeved dresses and XL in sleeveless. The sizing differences are due to give across my upper arms. I’m VERY glad that folks pointed out the sleeve style and fit and that I got the XL. 1x would have definitely looked too big on me. I might have even been able to go to a L, but wouldn’t want to take the risk on it being too small.
- the cut and style of the arms allows the fabric to more away from the body, which is GREAT in humidity. The dress feels very airy and nothing is right against the arm pit.
- I fold the cuff in half just because I prefer the look of it that way. I fold the cuff up on my sleeveved dresses too.
- I think that the bigger hem area might be to more closely match the cuffs, but it might be to give a bit more weight to the hem. Because the material is lighter, the bigger hem might be for added weight to avoid the dreaded wardrobe malfunction!
Right now this feels like my most comfortable dress and I’m grateful for it in hot and humid weather.
I’m not a matchy-matchy person, but I changed purses the day before this pic and didn’t want to do so again and I realized that they matched too closely when I grabbed my bag!

I love the short sleeves and beautiful print! I usually take a large but the medium in this cut is perfect! It makes a great over jacket for a summer dress too!

I highly recommend this dress for warm NY summers.. The fabric is a dream to wear, incredibly lightweight and airy with stunning colors. It feels soft against the skin, making it perfect for warmer weather or lounging around in comfort. Feels like you're wearing almost nothing, yet it's still substantial enough to be flattering and comfortable. Wish it wasn’t sold out online. I purchased a medium but it runs a large. Please restock!
