This dress saved me for a sudden formal event I had to attend for work. I didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars on something I might only wear once. The style is very flattering, hiding the tummy area nicely while highlighting the waist. I love the length because it shows off my favorite shoes! The flower detail arrived a bit smashed, but I just fluffed it up with my fingers and a little steam, and it looked perfect. It’s not high-end designer couture, but for an affordable dress, it looks fantastic and photographs really well. I felt comfortable and stylish the whole evening.

The only reason I'm not giving it a perfect score is that the lining material made a little bit of a swishing sound when I walked, but with the music playing, nobody noticed but me. It’s a really flattering cut for curvy figures like mine.

As a mother of the bride who didn't want to look like a "traditional" mother of the bride, this dress was a breath of fresh air. It’s modern but still modest enough for church. I was dancing up a storm at the reception, and the skirt has such a nice movement to it when you spin. The fabric doesn't breathe super well, so I got a little warm during the outdoor photos, but once we were inside with the AC, it was fine. I’d recommend checking the size chart carefully because the measurements are exact. I measured myself twice just to be sure, and it fit like a glove when it arrived.

I’ve been looking for a dress for my 25th anniversary dinner, and this tea-length style caught my eye. I'm on the shorter side, so usually "tea length" looks like a maxi on me, but this actually hit at a flattering spot on my calf. The one-shoulder design is very chic and makes me feel a bit younger and stylish. The material is thick enough that it smooths everything out, which is a huge plus. My only small gripe is that the armhole on the sleeveless side was cut a little high, rubbing slightly by the end of the night. But honestly, for the way it looked, I could deal with a little discomfort.

It’s a versatile dress that I think I can wear to a few different weddings this year, just by changing up my accessories and shoes.
