This dress is honestly beautiful for a budget-friendly option. I wore it for my reception because I wanted something fun to dance in, and the leg slit gave it such a cool, modern vibe. The satin is shiny but in a classy way. My only gripe is that the sizing runs a little small around the ribs, so maybe size up if you are in between.

It is a bit heavy, so if you are getting married in the dead of summer, you might get warm. But for a fall wedding like mine, it was perfect. Just make sure to measure yourself accurately before ordering.

This gown is a solid option if you are looking for a backup dress or something for a vow renewal. I wore it for our ten-year anniversary party. The flow of the skirt is lovely when you spin. It feels sturdy. I will say the color is a very bright white, almost stark, so keep that in mind if you want something softer or ivory. But for the evening party lights, it really popped and looked great.

I got this dress for a big formal photoshoot before the actual wedding, and it looked stunning in the pictures. The strapless neckline stayed up pretty well, which is always a worry for me. I love the pockets! Yes, it actually has pockets. The train is just the right length—dramatic but I didn't trip over it. The zipper was a tiny bit sticky at first, but after using some wax, it worked fine. Definitely worth the price.

I was looking for a dress for a styled shoot I was modeling for, and this one worked perfectly. The sweep train adds just enough drama for photos without being a hassle to carry around.
