The dress is beautiful, just like in the picture! The only downside was that it ran a bit large, so I had to get it taken in by a tailor.

I wore this to my son's outdoor winery wedding in late October. I was worried about being cold, but the fabric is heavy enough that I was totally fine with just a light shawl in the evening. The elegant cut really fits the winery vibe—classy but laid-back. The flower detail held its shape perfectly, even after being packed in a suitcase for travel. I will say, make sure you check the sizing chart carefully. I almost ordered my usual size, but after measuring, I sized up, and I’m glad I did. It fits pretty snug through the hips. It’s a beautiful dress that doesn't look like a typical "frumpy mom" dress, which I was really happy about.

I ordered this for an evening wedding downtown. The venue was an upscale hotel, so I needed something sophisticated. This dress hit the mark. The colour is rich and deep, really beautiful under the venue lights. I loved the flower detail; it meant I didn't have to wear a necklace, just some nice earrings. My only gripe is that the shipping took a little longer than I hoped, so I was sweating a bit before the big day. Also, the lining has a bit of a synthetic feel, but not enough to make you overheat. Once I had it on with my hair and makeup done, I felt like a million bucks. It photographs really well too, which is a huge plus for these kinds of events.

I bought this for a cruise formal night. I wanted something that travelled well and wouldn't take up my whole suitcase. This dress folded down pretty small and just needed a quick iron in the cabin. It looked stunning in the dining room. The elastic satin is very forgiving after a big dinner, which is a funny but real bonus! The colour didn't fade or look weird in the flash photography they take on the ship. It’s a simple, elegant design that you can dress up with fancy shoes or keep simple. There were a few stray threads on the inside hem, but nobody sees that. For the price, you really can't beat it for a formal occasion.

I got this for my mom for my brother's wedding because she hates shopping and refuses to go into stores. We took her measurements and hoped for the best. When it arrived, she was actually smiling when she tried it on! The 'elastic' part of the description is accurate; it stretches nicely when you move, so she could hug people and dance without worrying about ripping a seam. The style is very timeless. It’s not trying too hard to be trendy, which is exactly what she wanted. We did notice a loose thread near the flower embellishment, but I just snipped it off, and it was fine. It’s a decent dress for the price, and seeing my mom feel confident in it made it worth every penny.
