I love the contrast of these leather sleeves on this dress and even more so as it reminds me of a baseball tee (which I’ve been wanting to add to my closet for awhile now). I haven’t worn body-con anything in years and for some reason I didn’t think this dress would be quite so tight given that my previous purchases have all required alterations to slim it down. This dress, on the other hand, certainly lived up to its name! To make the dress a bit more casual as well as not feel quite so exposed, I layered it with a simple cargo vest. It was the perfect addition that still kept the baseball tee design while letting me feel breathe, eat, and walk without feeling self-conscious. It was dim sum today and I was certainly not denying myself any shrimp dumplings. 🙂

Those leather sleeves really add a nice touch to the dress! I've not tried anything bodycon yet because of feeling self conscious but I like your idea of adding a vest or layering over it to help tone it down a bit.

I love the dress with the vest. You have a real skill for pairing pieces together. I also adore the red soles of your shoes. I have wanted shoes like that for ages now
