We did have to steam it quite a bit when it arrived because of the packaging wrinkles, but that’s normal. The high split gave it a modern vibe, so she didn't look like an "old lady."

Okay, let's talk about this dress. I wore it to a winter formal, and I got so many compliments. The material is thick enough that I wasn't freezing, but it still has that nice flow when you walk. The zipper was a little sticky at first, but after rubbing some wax on it, it worked fine. I love that it has a little stretch; it made sitting through a long ceremony way more bearable. It looks way more expensive than it actually is. Just make sure you have the right strapless bra because the neckline is wide.

Used this for a formal family photoshoot, and the photos came out amazing. The way the skirt flows when you move is just beautiful. I appreciate that the fabric has some give; it makes it much easier to move around and pose. The high split is a bold look, so make sure you have nice shoes because they will definitely show. It’s a simple design, but the bow and the cut make it look very sophisticated. I’ll definitely be finding another excuse to wear this again soon.

The slit is sexy without being too revealing, assuming you're standing up. The fabric has a nice weight to it, so it hangs well and doesn't cling in weird places.

I honestly wasn't sure what to expect ordering a dress online for my son's wedding, but this was a pleasant surprise. The satin feels really nice against the skin, not cheap or scratchy at all. I was worried about the off-the-shoulder part slipping down while dancing, but it actually stayed in place pretty well. The split is a bit high, so I had to be careful when sitting, but it definitely makes walking easier. The ruffle detail covers my arms just enough to make me feel comfortable without looking frumpy. Overall, I felt really elegant without spending a fortune.
