I’m a plus-size lady and shopping for evening wear is usually an absolute nightmare. I took a chance on this for my niece's wedding and was pleasantly surprised. It actually gave me a shape! The way the fabric drapes across the tummy area is quite forgiving. I did have to wear some shapewear underneath just to smooth things out, but that’s standard for satin. The colour is rich and deep. I felt confident all night and didn't feel like I was stuffed into a sausage skin. Two thumbs up from me.

I needed a last-minute outfit for a posh festive do and took a punt on this one. I'm usually a bit sceptical about sizing online, but I followed the guide and the size 12 fit like a glove. The material hasn't got any give, so definitely measure yourself first! I felt absolutely glamorous walking in. The only reason I’m not giving it five stars is because the colour was slightly darker in the flesh than on my screen, but honestly, it was still a gorgeous shade. I’ll definitely be finding another excuse to wear this soon.

I ordered this for a black-tie event my husband’s firm was hosting, and I wasn't expecting much for the price, but wow. The fit was actually really flattering, especially around the waist. It has this lovely drape to it that makes you feel very put-together. The zip was a bit stiff at first, but after rubbing some wax over it, it was absolutely fine. I was comfortable sitting and dancing all night, which is rare for evening wear. It’s a brilliant choice if you don't want to spend thousands but still want to look the part.

I ordered this for a charity auction. I wanted something that looked sophisticated. The one-shoulder design is incredibly chic. I was worried the long sleeve would leave me boiling in a packed room, but the fabric is much more breathable than I expected. It's really well-made, though there were a couple of loose threads I had to snip off when I opened the parcel. Nothing major, though. It’s a stunning gown that needs minimal jewellery because the dress speaks for itself. Brilliant buy.

Right, so I bought this for my son’s wedding last month. I was going for 'cool mum' vibes without stealing the show, and this was spot on. The satin fabric has a lovely sheen to it, not overly shiny, just right. I was a bit nervous about the one-shoulder fit, thinking I'd be fiddling with it all evening, but it stayed in place perfectly. The sleeve length was great too. It arrived a bit creased, but a quick steam sorted that right out. It’s a really gorgeous gown for the price.
