I needed a dress for a black-tie optional event and didn't want to spend a fortune. This did the job brilliantly. The fit around the waist is very forgiving. My only minor niggle is that a few beads felt a bit loose, but I sorted them out easily enough. Still brilliant value for money.

Wore this to a winter charity ball and felt absolutely brilliant. The square neckline shows off a necklace beautifully. It's got a bit of weight to it, which is lovely for the colder weather but might be a bit much for summer. If you're after a classic vintage vibe, this is spot on.

Bought this for a formal dinner on our cruise holiday. It packs surprisingly well and didn't need much steaming. The colour is exactly like the picture, which rarely happens online. I wish the zip was a little smoother, but overall, it’s a brilliant choice for the price.

I ordered this for my cousin's wedding last month and, to be honest, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. The satin feels lovely against the skin, not scratchy at all. The beading detail is subtle but catches the light brilliantly. It came up a bit snug, so definitely check the size guide carefully.

I picked this up for my mum for her anniversary dinner, and she looked absolutely stunning. She loved that the stretch satin gave her plenty of room to move. The beading around the top adds just the right amount of sparkle. It definitely looks much pricier than it actually is, which is a real bonus.
