The fabric has a slight sheen to it that looks really nice under professional lighting. I took off one star in my head just because the shipping took a little longer than I hoped, so definitely order ahead of time. But once it got here, I was relieved. It fit right out of the bag and I didn't need any major alterations, just a quick press.

The color is exactly like the picture, a really deep, rich shade. I will say the zipper was a little sticky at first, but after running some wax over it, it worked fine. It’s comfortable enough to wear for hours, even with all the standing and socializing. Definitely worth the price for the quality you get.

I ordered this for an evening banquet with my husband's company. I'm usually hesitant about floor-length gowns because they can be so heavy, but this one was surprisingly manageable.

The flow of the skirt is lovely when you walk. My only small gripe is that the sizing runs just a tiny bit small in the bust, so if you are well-endowed, maybe size up. I managed to make it work with the right shapewear, though. Overall, I felt really confident wearing it and the pictures turned out beautiful.

I honestly wasn't sure what to expect ordering a dress online for my son's wedding, but this turned out surprisingly well. The taffeta fabric has a nice weight to it—it doesn't feel cheap or flimsy at all. I was worried about the 3/4 sleeves being too tight since my arms are a bit fuller, but they actually have decent room. The v-neck isn't too low either, which is great because I didn't want to be pulling at my top all night. I did have to get the hem taken up a couple of inches because I'm short, but otherwise, the fit was pretty spot on. It's a solid choice if you need something elegant without breaking the bank.
