A lovely surprise, really. I was a bit worried the lace would look cheap, but it’s actually quite delicate up close. I wore it for the whole ceremony and reception without feeling restricted at all. Having pockets to keep my lipstick in was an absolutely brilliant idea!

To be honest, the dress is lovely and it was a real lifesaver as I didn't want to spend a fortune to wear it just the once. I thought it would be a perfect fit, but it was a bit tight across the shoulders. When I sat down for dinner, I felt it pulling a bit at the back. Even so, the photos came out beautifully and having pockets is just brilliant.

Felt like a woodland fairy! The lace details are absolutely stunning in real life, and the sleeves weren't too tight on my arms.

I mean, I can't believe how cheap it was compared to bridal shops. I loved how it hides the baby bump without making you look like a tent. Walking on the beach was super easy thanks to the slit. I'd just recommend giving it a good iron first because it arrives quite creased from the delivery.

I was a bit unsure about the sizing at first, so I ordered a large. It fit brilliantly around the tummy. In bright sunlight out on the grass, the skirt part was slightly see-through, so the underskirt could have been a bit thicker. However, it was lovely and airy for a summer wedding, and you don't sweat too much in the long sleeves.
