The pockets! I didn't realise it had pockets until I tried it on, and it was an absolute game-changer. I kept my lipstick and tissues in there during the reception. The dress feels really well-made and substantial, not flimsy at all. It went down a storm with my family.

I was honestly surprised by the lovely weight of the fabric, in a good way. It doesn't look cheap in the slightest. I wore it for our back garden ceremony and got so many compliments on the lace details. Definitely worth it if you're on a budget but still want to look posh.

It’s a lovely dress. I probably could have gone down a size for a more fitted waist, but it was nothing a belt couldn't sort out. The sweep train adds just the right amount of drama for walking down the aisle. I'm really pleased with how it turned out for the price.

I was a bit sceptical about the satin material, thinking it might be too shiny, but it has a lovely matte finish that photographs beautifully. It held up brilliantly during our outdoor shoot even with a bit of a breeze. Brilliant buy for anyone after a classic look.

The mix of lace and satin is lovely. I wore this for a formal dinner after our registry office wedding and felt completely appropriate. It’s elegant without being over the top. Just be careful with jewellery snagging on the lace part, but otherwise, it's perfect.
