Even with the full skirt and train, it's surprisingly lightweight and won't weigh you down, making it an absolute breeze to move around your venue.

I absolutely adore the taffeta fabric used for this dress as it gives such a rich, luxurious sheen under the lights. The Bardot neckline is incredibly flattering and frames the collarbones perfectly without feeling too restrictive. I was after something classic but with a modern twist, and the subtle floral accents add just the right amount of charm. It honestly looks like a bespoke designer piece rather than a standard online buy.

The parcel arrived really quickly and was packaged with such care, meaning the dress wasn't a creased mess when I unpacked it. I just gave it a quick steam and it was good to go.

Wore this to a formal charity dinner and got absolutely loads of compliments from strangers. It looks incredibly elegant and flows beautifully as you walk.

The craftsmanship on this gown really took me by surprise. Every single seam is finished flawlessly, and the floral detailing looks so delicate and well-made, not tacky at all. I spent absolutely ages looking for something with a proper sweep train that wouldn't cost the earth, and this completely fits the bill. The taffeta material has a brilliant structure to it, giving the skirt that gorgeous dramatic volume.
