The zipper was a bit stiff at first but smoothed out. The ivory colour looks amazing in natural sunlight!

The fabric has a really nice weight to it and doesn't have that cheap shine I was afraid of. The lining isn't scratchy on the skin at all. Under artificial light, the colour looked a bit more yellow than in the photos, but outside it was perfect. For a dress at this price point, the quality is surprisingly good.

The satin is super soft and doesn't cling to the hips at all. Plus, it has pockets—what more could you want for this price?

Wore this for my outdoor ceremony last weekend and the pockets were a total lifesaver for holding my vows. The satin has a really nice weight to it so it drapes beautifully instead of clinging. It did get a bit staticky by the end of the night and sitting down for dinner felt a little tight around the ribs, but nothing crazy. For the price, it totally exceeded my expectations.

Had to get it hemmed because I'm 5'2 and it was dragging way too much even with heels. The seamstress even complimented the quality of the satin! It doesn't look exactly like a $3,000 boutique dress up close if you inspect the inner seams, but in photos and from a few feet away it is absolutely stunning. The off-shoulder part didn't restrict my arms when hugging people either.
