Okay, so I took a chance on this dress for a charity gala, and I'm really glad I did. The material is a thick satin, which helps the skirt keep its shape super well. I was worried the lace might look cheap, but it’s actually quite nice and sewn on perfectly. I’m usually between sizes, so I sized up and had it taken in, which I highly recommend doing if you aren't sure. It’s a classic style that I feel like I can wear again to other events down the road. The pockets (yes, it has pockets!) were the best surprise ever. I kept my lipstick and phone in there all evening. Solid buy.

Just a heads-up that the skirt is pretty long; I’m 5’6” and wore 3-inch heels, and it still grazed the floor, so petite girls will probably need to get it hemmed.

This dress was a total lifesaver for my company's annual gala last month. I procrastinated on finding an outfit and stumbled upon this one at the last minute. The A-line cut is super flattering and hides a food baby perfectly (which was necessary after the three-course dinner!). The V-neck isn't too deep, so I felt appropriate for a work event while still feeling stylish. The colour was exactly like the picture, maybe even a bit more vibrant in person. It arrived with just enough time to spare. I just steamed it quickly to get the wrinkles out, and it was good to go. Definitely recommending this to my coworkers.

I needed something for a fancy anniversary dinner cruise with my husband, and this dress made the night extra special. The A-line silhouette is just so forgiving and comfortable. I could move around easily, get on and off the boat, and sit for dinner without feeling constricted. The lace detailing on the bodice is really romantic and feminine. I ordered the burgundy colour, and it was rich and deep, perfect for the evening. It did arrive pretty wrinkled, which is expected, so give yourself time to steam it properly. Once the wrinkles were out, it looked flawless. My husband couldn't take his eyes off me!

Honestly, I’m surprised at how much I liked this. I bought it for a cousin’s engagement party where the theme was 'Hollywood Glam.' The satin skirt really gives that old-school glamour vibe. The top part fits snugly, and the straps stay put, which is a huge relief. I will say, the sizing runs a tiny bit small in the ribcage area compared to the size chart, so maybe double-check your measurements. But once on, it creates a really nice hourglass shape. It’s a sturdy dress, too—I accidentally snagged it on a chair, and the fabric didn't run or tear. Pretty impressed with the durability.
