The pockets are what really sold this dress for me. It was so lovely not having to carry a clutch bag around everywhere. The lace bit feels quite delicate though, so mind your jewellery.

It's a really decent dress. The colour was slightly darker than I expected from the photos, but it was still perfect for the autumn wedding we went to.

The satin feels really lovely and has a nice weight to it, definitely doesn't look cheap. It was a bit long on me as I'm only 5'2, so I had to get it taken up, but otherwise spot on.

Wore this to a military ball with my husband. The classic style matched his uniform perfectly. I kept my lipstick in the pocket all night. Only downside was figuring out the right shoes since the skirt is pretty long.

I wore this to a black-tie event last weekend. I usually hate dressing up as I feel so restricted, but the fit on this was actually quite comfortable. I did have to wear a specific bra because of the neckline, but it wasn't too much of a faff. Got loads of lovely compliments from my mates.
