Recently tried the new Zelda dress. It gets 3.5 stars from me (had to round up for rating above). To bring it fully up to 5 stars, the sleeves would need to be about 2" longer so that when my arms are bent the sleeves still cover my wrists instead of sitting 2" above them. If they were tight sleeves they likely wouldn't shift, but being loose they could do with some extra length to be perfect.
Similarly, the pockets in the dress are set too high to be useful to put my hands in (have to bend my arms to 90° angle to get them in) and because the fabric of both the Zelda and the Lyras is stretchy, the pockets are also useless for putting anything in as they just stretch & ruin the line of the dress. So now they just have these useless flappy bits which hit my hip crease when I walk.
If I had an overlocker then I would just cut the pockets out and either shift them 3" down the side seams or just get rid of them entirely. I can understand pockets in non-stretch fabrics but they just do not work in stretch fabrics at all. I'd rather not have them. Same with the Lyras. Those used to be 5 stars but the addition of the useless flappy pockets brings them down to 3.5. I'm autistic and these were super comfy dresses for me which now have the addition of a bad sensory experience. Other people who are less hypersensitive might not notice how irritating it is to have them hit you repeatedly when walking, but its meant that I'm wearing my older Lyras way more often than my new ones even though I love the new prints.
