I ordered this for a formal gala I had to attend last month. I’m usually a bit hesitant about buying clothes online because sizing can be an absolute nightmare, but I followed the size guide and it fitted really well. The pleating on the bodice is actually very flattering if you're looking to hide a bit of a tummy like me.

Bought this for a charity ball and I'm in two minds, but mostly pleased. The style is absolutely gorgeous and looks far more expensive than it actually is. The satin has a lovely sheen under the evening lights. However, the sizing comes up a bit snug in the bust for me, so I had to wear a very specific bra to make it work. Once I got that sorted, though, it looked smashing. If you're quite busty, maybe size up or check the measurements carefully. But honestly, for how lovely it looks in the photos, it was totally worth the extra faff.

I bought this for a posh evening cruise dinner with my husband. I wanted something that packed easily and didn't need a lot of faffing about. While it did arrive with a few creases, a quick steam in the hotel room sorted it right out. The fit around the waist is very nipped in, which I absolutely love. It made me feel really feminine. The off-the-shoulder straps restrict your arm movement just a tad if you’re trying to reach up high, but for eating, drinking, and a bit of light dancing, it’s spot on. A gorgeous dress that makes you feel incredibly elegant.

This was my pick for being the maid of honour at my best mate's wedding. She let us choose our own styles as long as it was the right colour, and this one was an absolute winner. The pockets (wait, I wish it had pockets!) – right, no pockets, but the flow of the skirt makes you want to twirl. It’s very forgiving around the hips. I did spot a few loose threads near the hem, but nothing a pair of scissors couldn't sort out in two seconds. It’s a brilliant, reliable dress that photographs beautifully. I’m keeping it in my wardrobe for future smart dos.

I needed a dress for a winter formal event and decided to give this one a go. I was a bit worried the sleeveless design might be too cold, but I paired it with a faux fur wrap and it gave off proper old Hollywood glamour. The quality feels really well-made, not flimsy like some other dresses I’ve bought online. The pleats are stitched beautifully and didn't lose their shape even after sitting down for hours. It’s a bit on the long side, so definitely plan on wearing heels or getting it taken up. I’m absolutely chuffed with how it looked and felt so chic the entire evening.
