I was looking for something elegant but not frumpy for my daughter’s engagement party and this hit the mark. The mermaid silhouette is dramatic but still easy enough to walk in, thanks to that slit. I usually wear a size 8 and the sizing chart was accurate for me, fitting snugly but comfortably. It arrived a few days later than I expected, but the dress itself was worth the wait.

This gown makes me feel like a movie star every time I try it on. The fabric has a nice sheen to it that catches the light beautifully in photos. I'm planning to wear it to a black-tie charity event next month and can't wait to accessorize it with some silver jewelry.

I ordered this in Hot pink for a gala I was attending last weekend. The color was rich and looked exactly like the photos on the website, which was a huge relief. However, the zipper was a little sticky at the waistline, so just be careful when you're zipping it up.

The dress is beautiful, but the arm movement is a bit restricted because of the off-the-shoulder style. It’s perfect for standing and looking great in pictures, but lifting your arms to hug people is a little tricky. I still love the look, just something to keep in mind if you're a hugger.

The split front adds such a nice touch without being too revealing for a family event. I was worried the off-the-shoulder sleeves would slip down while dancing, but they stayed in place perfectly all night long.
