I was looking for something simple and modest for a church wedding and this caught my eye. The A-line silhouette is super flattering on my pear shape. It hides the hips while highlighting the waist really nicely. The chiffon is flowy and elegant. I wasn't a huge fan of the bow at first, but it actually grew on me once I tried it on—it adds some nice structure to the back. I felt like the armholes were cut a bit high for me, causing a little rubbing, but it was manageable for a few hours. Shipping took a little longer than I'd hoped, so definitely make sure to order with plenty of time to spare.

It photographs really well, and honestly, nobody could tell I bought it online instead of at a high-end boutique.

I felt so beautiful wearing it.

This dress was a really pleasant surprise. I ordered it as a backup just in case my main dress didn't fit, and I almost ended up liking this one better! The material feels nicer than I thought it would, heavy enough to hang well but light enough to be super comfortable. The lace on the bodice is really detailed. I think the V-neck plunges a bit deeper than it looks in the picture, so just a heads up if you're busty. I used some fashion tape just to be safe. It’s a very romantic style. I ended up wearing it for our pre-wedding photoshoot and the pictures came out stunning. It’s a great option if you want to look bridal without all the fuss.

It flowed beautifully in the wind during our photos. It did come a bit wrinkled, but a quick steam session took care of that.
