Finding a dress for my son's rehearsal dinner was turning into a nightmare until I stumbled across this one. I didn't want anything too flashy, but I still wanted to look elegant. This dress hit that sweet spot. The half sleeve is such a nice touch because I'm a little self-conscious about my arms, but I didn't want to be fully covered up. It’s super comfortable to sit and move around in, which is huge for me. The color is exactly like the picture shown on the website. It’s a solid choice if you need something classy that doesn't scream for attention but still looks put-together.

Okay, so I ordered this for a formal holiday party at work because I wanted something different than the usual black cocktail dress. It’s a great piece to have in your closet for those random fancy events that pop up.

I was honestly a bit nervous about buying a velvet dress online because you never know if the fabric will look cheap or shiny, but this one really surprised me.

I bought this for a charity gala I attended with my husband, and I got so many compliments throughout the night. The velvet gives it such a luxe vibe, and the cut is very flattering for a curvy figure. It hugs in the right places without being too tight or restricting. I was able to dance comfortably, and I didn't spend the whole night adjusting the shoulder strap. The only reason I'm not giving it a perfect score is that the zipper was a little stiff at first, but after working it up and down a few times, it was fine. Definitely worth the buy.

The velvet fabric has a nice stretch to it, so I didn't feel like I was suffocating after a big meal.
