I ordered the navy blue and it's a proper, rich navy. The dress is lovely quality and the stitching is very secure. I will say the zip is a bit fiddly at the waist seam, so you might need a hand getting it zipped up. Wore it to a military ball and it was absolutely spot on for the occasion.

Honestly, I'm absolutely thrilled with this gown. I needed something elegant for my son's evening wedding and this ticked all the boxes perfectly. The satin material has a lovely weight to it, so it drapes beautifully without clinging to every lump and bump. I danced the night away and felt completely comfortable. The high split gave it just enough edge without feeling inappropriate for a mum.

I haven't worn a proper formal dress in years and was dreading the shopping trip for my niece's wedding. This dress completely changed my mind. The column shape is incredibly flattering and the fabric drapes beautifully. I felt like a million dollars walking down the aisle to my seat. Everyone was asking where I got it.

Wore this to the office Christmas do. It's really elegant but still a bit cheeky with the thigh split. Felt absolutely classy.

Wore this to a beach wedding last weekend. It was surprisingly breathable for a maxi dress. The sleeveless design kept me lovely and cool during the outdoor ceremony.
