Thank you Echo, Shevia, Joyce B, slim cat, Joy, SarahD8, Jenni NZ, and Murph11 for taking the time to weigh in. I was worried that there was something I was missing. I'm cutting the tags!
@Murph11: It feels just fine and soft because the fabric is Tencil/lyocell. The sleeves are plenty loose. The quality isn't great because there's some puckering along the stitching which I often find with Tencil garments, especially Caslon ones. But this dress was inexpensive so I don't expect wonders.
@Jenni NZ: One of the benefits of being short is that we don't have to worry as much about dresses being indecently short. And then there's the dress I ordered in regular and petite sizing: decided the petite size was too short and the regular size was too long; had the regular size shortened; and then I washed the dress. Yup! It's now too short.
