Right, so I bought this for my evening reception because I wanted something a bit easier to move around in than my ballgown. The off-the-shoulder style is absolutely lovely. Apart from that, it looked brilliant in the photos and didn't cost the earth.

The detachable sleeves are absolutely lovely for ceremonies.

The fabric is thick and has a lovely stretch to it, which is great, but the white is a very brilliant white, not ivory. Just a heads-up if you're trying to match a veil! I ended up absolutely loving it anyway. The train is the perfect length—dramatic enough for the aisle but I didn't trip over it all evening. It took about three weeks to arrive, so just make sure you leave plenty of time when ordering. Highly recommend!

Omg, the lace detailing on this is actually so lovely in real life! I wore this for our elopement in Joshua Tree and it held up brilliantly even with all the tramping around in the dirt. The sizing is spot on, and the stretch satin has enough give that I could still have a proper dance. Absolutely worth it if you're on a budget but still want to look a bit posh.

Honestly though, the fabric is lovely and smooth. It arrived a bit creased, so definitely plan on getting it professionally steamed before the big day.
