Shipping took a little longer than I thought it would, but it got here just in time for alterations. If you're going for that dramatic entrance look, this definitely does the job, just be prepared for how heavy it is.

The satin feels really heavy and nice, not cheap like some of the stuff you find on the internet. I love the straight neckline; it makes my collarbones look great without showing too much skin. The sequins add a nice sparkle when the light hits them on the dance floor. I did have to get the hem taken up a couple of inches because it was way too long for me even with heels on, but otherwise, the corset back made the fit really adjustable and snug.

Make sure to steam it before wearing, as it comes pretty wrinkled right out of the bag.

I needed something for a formal charity gala last month and decided to take a chance on this gown. It's honestly not bad at all.

I’m usually between sizes, so the lace-up back was a total lifesaver for getting the perfect fit around my waist. The only reason I'm not giving it five stars is that the underarm area was cut a little high for me and rubbed a bit by the end of the night.
