So I have the sicily in both the hunter green and the champagne and I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE (cannot stress this enough) LOVE them! I was reeeeeeeeeeeally nervous about the short sleeve version, because I've got bigger biceps, and some short sleeves are very unflattering on me. Unfortunately (like so unfortunately I cried when I tried it on) the cuffs on this dress make it both incredible uncomfortable and unflattering to wear for us gals with larger biceps. I sized up and even in a size larger than I wear in my other two sicily dresses I could just *BARELY* button the cuff in the back and when I did it felt like it was very nearly cutting off my circulation and it created this horrible fat roll under the cuff that I couldn't stand. I really love the color of this dress and just wish they had made a longer short sleeve, or made the cuff as loose as the rest of the sleeve (which fit my arms fine, it's just the cuff that's too tight) because the cuff does not look right if you don't button it, and only by not buttoning it can I wear this darling dress comfortably. I am still debating keeping the larger size because I love the rest of it so dearly, but if I do I will have to tuck the lace cuff up under the sleeve so that it isn't visible and the sleeve is wearable for me. It still looks pretty that way (just a tip for my larger arm ivy sisters!) but I'm super bummed to have to modify how I wear this in order to rock it and to not get to enjoy the gorgeous lace detailing on this dress when/if I wear it.

This is dress is so dreamy and gorgeous! I’m 5”4 115lb and wearing size XS and it’s perfect (sleeves are unbuttoned here) can’t wait to wear it out!

This dress is amazing!! The first thing I noticed when I put it on was that the liner was so soft and comfy! The fit is beautiful! I felt like a princess when I put it on! It was definitely true to size. I can’t wait to wear this dress with my daughter on Easter!

This dress is a dream!!! My daughter and I feel like princesses wearing it! The details in the double lace are so gorgeous! The pink color is perfection and the fit is amazing!! The short sleeves are so cute!!!! We wore them to church on Valentine’s Day! We can’t get enough!! I am wearing my usual size XS. It felt a little loose, so I tried the XXS, but it felt a little too snug in the bust. After that I realized the XS is perfect, since there’s no stretch.

This dress is perfection! I have two other Sicily’s and this dress did not disappoint. It is stunning! The length of the sleeves are perfect and the color is so dreamy I feel so pretty when I put this on! It is true to size with absolutely no stretch.

this dress is so pretty! the color and the fabric are absolutely stunning! it doesn’t have any stretch so would recommend sizing up if in between sizes for sure.

Omg this dress is my favorite!! Perfection Fits TTS, just like all the other Sicily dresses. Even with no make up, messy hair and slides, I felt like a princess lol The only bummer is it’s a little sheer on top in natural light - you can see bra lines. I plan to wear a cami or tank under, as needed. I’m all set for the next special occasion!

This dress is very pretty. I was very excited about it but the sleeves are very tight on me. Also, you will need to wear nude underclothes since the top is a little see through. I wish the lining was a little thicker and the sleeve able to adjust. For reference I’m 140lb 5’4” and usually a size small in ivy city dresses.

If you love the sicily dress, you will ABSOLUTELY love this one! The color/hue of this pink in person is to die for! I do agree with other reviewers on the button of the sleeves. I went with my usual size and dont have big arms, but for some reason the button closure is just too tight. I’ll have to wear it un-buttoned, but a small sacrifice for such a beauty! If youre debating on it, just buy it already!

What a beautiful dress!!!! I have been so excited since the sneak peek. It's definitely worth the wait. The dress is well-made and very flattering. Love love love the dress!!

Swoon! This is the prettiest dress I’ve ever worn, besides my wedding dress. My husband asked where I’m going to wear it, but who cares! It’s gorgeous and so lovely! I feel like I could meet the Queen in this! I love Ivy City Co dresses already, but this one takes the cake!

Sign me up for tea! I feel like the loveliest lady in this dress. It was TTS for me. I do have bigger arms, the sleeves were very tight. I unbuttoned them to let those biceps breathe! Not mad at the look of it being unbuttoned. I don’t want to size up because the waist fits so well. In love!

I’m between a size 4-6, wearing the small. It fits perfectly everywhere but the arms. It’s a little tight. Also the sleeves are shorter, like on Tasha(blonde model) and I thought they were gonna be like the brunette model. I don’t think I have chubby or extra long arms. The good thing about the sleeves is that you can just not use the buttons and it’ll be fine. I’ll keep it, it’s a gorgeous fabric and love the color too.

I absolutely love this dress. So elegant & feminin. Only down part is that is a little bit see trough at the top part.
