“This dress is gorgeous, but there are some things about the construction that are not ideal. The main one for me is that the neckline is uneven. It's longer on the rouched shoulder, and it makes it look like the neckline is skewed to one side, or one of the sleeves is longer than the other (depending on if you pull the fabric to make the neckline look more even. If you do, it makes the sleeves look like different lengths). It looks like it should've been gathered more tightly to be the same length on either side. I'll probably need to get someone to alter that so it's even. Plus, the sleeves are cap sleeves and have no inseam, so it's not as comfortable there as I'd like. The wrap part of the skirt looks like it couldve used another layer on top, to provide some depth, because there's a giant diagonal seam that is visible, and actually tricky to hide with the gathers. The seam is not a huge issue, but I have a pet peeve with visible seams like that that cut across the body, and I would've designed it to have a layer of fabric going across that seam to hide it. It was also a bit long for me, at 5'4" Otherwise, I like the stretchiness and the form-fitted-ness, and I love how the bodice is double layered so you might not have to wear a bra if you don't want to. It's my new "grown adult" dress, and now I just need somewhere fancy to wear it.”

Hello there, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such detailed feedback, we really appreciate it! Your thoughts are incredibly helpful in allowing us to continue improving our designs. Regarding the neckline, it is intentionally designed to be slightly lower on one side to create an asymmetrical, ruched effect on the shoulder. We understand this can sometimes make the neckline appear uneven depending on how the dress is worn, and we really appreciate your observations about how this affects the overall fit and appearance. We’ve also passed on your other feedback about the sleeves, skirt wrap, and length to our design team to help us consider future improvements. We’re so glad to hear you love the bodice and the form-fitted shape, it’s wonderful to know this dress has become your new “grown-up” dress! Thank you again for sharing your thoughts and for being part of the AYM community. Warmly, The AYM Studio Team xo

“The material is really soft and it’s double layered throughout, there’s a lot of material in this dress- it’s weighty and you can feel the quality. It is extremely comfortable and the lacing allows to change the tightness as you’d like.”
