The lace appliques look very romantic. It’s not 100% perfect—there were a few loose threads I had to snip off—but for a backup dress, it ended up being better than my original one. I felt comfortable and beautiful all day.

The dress is gorgeous, but be prepared for a lot of fabric! I wore this for an indoor ballroom reception, and it fit the venue vibe perfectly. The lace on the sleeves is soft, not itchy, which was my biggest fear. I gave it four stars instead of five just because the zipper was a little sticky at first, but after rubbing some wax on it, it worked fine. You might want to wear a hoop skirt underneath if you want it to look exactly like the picture, but even without one, it’s still very full. Overall, I’m really happy with it.

Just wow. The volume on this skirt is everything. I used it for a masquerade ball event, and it was the highlight of the night. The fabric layers are thick and high quality. I was worried the long sleeves would restrict my movement, but the material has just enough give to let you hug people and dance comfortably. It is a warm dress, so maybe not the best for a beach wedding in July, but for cooler weather or indoor AC, it's amazing. I’m keeping it in my closet just to look at it because it’s so pretty.

Okay, so I'm not usually the ball gown type of girl, I usually go for simpler stuff, but my mom convinced me to try this for my cathedral ceremony. I am so glad I listened! The drama of this dress is real. The appliques are sewn on really well, not just glued, which was a big relief. I felt comfortable moving around in it, although you definitely need help going to the bathroom because there is a lot of dress! It arrived earlier than the estimated delivery date too. If you want that wow factor without spending thousands, this is a solid choice.

I bought this dress for a stylized bridal shoot I was doing in a forest setting, and it looked absolutely magical. The tulle skirt catches the light in such a dreamy way. I was worried the V-neck might be too deep, but it felt secure and elegant. The quality of the fabric feels heavy and expensive, not cheap or scratchy at all. It does arrive folded up tight, so you absolutely have to steam it well before wearing it to get that full volume. For the price, I really don't think you can beat the look. It photographs beautifully!
