The Ashley Dress Long Sleeve V-Neck Black

This is a great dress. I will for sure buy other versions since I love a simple black dress.

Pros:

- The fabric is nice, has some stretch

- Garment is well-sewn

- Good tailoring, a classic cut

- Perfect length even for tall folks

Cons:

- I wish the V-neckline was cut a bit lower, but that’s just my personal preference

- I absolutely hate the hook & eye at the top of the zipper. I find these to be useless and catches on my hair, sweater, coat…everything! I cut it off, and the dress is nowinfinitely better.

- The ribbon zipper pull is weird.

- I also ordered another dress Ashley (the round neck short sleeve one), and expected them to fit basically the same. They do not. This one is true to size, and the other version fits small.

For reference I’m 5’11”, 135lb., curvy body type.

I bought two Ashley dresses - one short and one long sleeve, both v-neck. I really like the dress, but it’s a 4 instead of five star because it’s a bit loose at the mid-back while fitting well everywhere else. This brand runs really small. I’m a medium or maybe large in most brands, but an XL in this (exchange was easy and quick!).
