One gripe I had about the original French Lady OP are the sleeves feeling tight despite it being elasticized. When I saw a long sleeved version of my beloved dress with button-up cuffs instead of elastics I was quick to purchase it in a size matched to my currently adult proportions. The dress is.... alright. Its nearly identical to the original OP, minus the altered sleeves, however the cuffs looked very loose and droopy, even when buttoned up. A simple alteration could fix this issue by adjusting the position of the cuff buttons (Haven't gotten around to doing so yet.... someday!)
