I purchased the dress on a promotion.  the dress i received had the sleeves end about the elbow.  i added a 4" black cotton lace to the sleeves.  i love the result.  it makes the design richer and brings out the lace running down the front of the dress.  the sleeves are a much better length for me now.  dress runs tts.  i purchased a medium, am 5'7", 150 lbs, really am large boned, straight up and down.
