The parcel arrived looking a bit battered on the outside, which gave me a bit of a panic. Thankfully, the dress itself was wrapped up safely inside a protective bag, so no harm done. Delivery took slightly longer than I'd hoped, but the dress is lovely enough to make up for the wait.

Customer service was brilliant when I had a quick question about caring for the fabric. They got back to me straight away and were incredibly helpful.

I received so many lovely compliments wearing this. Everyone kept asking where I got it from. The V-neck is incredibly flattering without being too revealing, and the diamantes catch the light beautifully in photos. Felt like a million dollars.

The jacquard fabric is a bit stiffer than I'd imagined, so it takes some getting used to. Mind you, it does help the A-line shape hold its structure brilliantly. It's a lovely enough dress, it just feels a bit heavy when you first pop it on.

Wore this to a posh do and it was incredibly comfy. The short sleeves didn't dig in at all.
