The stitching is mostly very neat, though I did find one loose thread near the zip. Snapped it off and it was fine. The bow at the back is a lovely feature, but you have to be careful not to catch it on anything.

As someone who is quite petite, finding a column dress that doesn't swamp me is a proper nightmare. This one skims the hips perfectly and gives a lovely shape without needing any alterations. The fabric has a nice weight to it, making it hang just right. I felt incredibly confident wearing it to a charity gala.

Honestly, for the price you pay, the quality is smashing. Looks like a proper designer piece without costing a fortune.

I ordered my usual size based on the chart, but I do feel it runs just a tiny bit snug around the hips. It still looks quite elegant with the square neckline and the bow detail adds a nice touch, but I might need to wear some proper shapewear underneath to feel completely confident. If you're between sizes, I'd definitely recommend sizing up just to be on the safe side. Otherwise, it's a cracking dress for a formal do.

You get a truly premium-looking outfit for a fraction of the usual high street cost.
