Right, let's be honest about this dress. I got it for my back garden reception because I wanted to change out of my massive ballgown. The style is 10/10. It gives you that hourglass figure instantly. The 'elastic satin' description is spot on; it’s stretchy enough to sit and eat dinner comfortably. I will say, the white is a very bright, brilliant white, so make sure that’s the shade you want. Also, if you have broader shoulders like me, the top part might feel a tiny bit restrictive if you lift your arms all the way up, but otherwise, it fits like a glove. Definitely worth it.

I’m absolutely obsessed with the mermaid silhouette on this. It hugs all the right curves without feeling like I'm being squashed.

I was honestly so nervous about buying my wedding dress online because you hear so many horror stories, but this was such a relief. I ordered the made-to-measure size because I’m a bit curvy, and the fit was surprisingly good straight out of the bag. The stretch satin fabric is the absolute star here—it actually gives a little, so I could sit down and move without feeling like a stuffed sausage. The off-the-shoulder look stayed in place brilliantly too, which I was worried about. I wore this for my back garden ceremony last month, and it looked far more expensive than it actually was. The train is long enough to feel dramatic but not so long that I tripped over it constantly. Just a heads up, give yourself plenty of time for delivery, but overall, I felt beautiful and saved a packet compared to a bridal boutique.

The style is absolutely classic, and those long sleeves are spot on if you’re getting married in chillier weather like I did. It’s definitely thick enough that it's not see-through, which is brilliant. I did have to take it to a local seamstress just to take the waist in a tiny bit because I lost some weight before the big day, but otherwise, the quality is decent for the price. It’s not high-end designer silk, obviously, but for an affordable option, it photographs really well. I got so many compliments on the mermaid silhouette! If you're on the fence, just measure yourself carefully and maybe give it a good steam before wearing it because it arrived a bit creased.

The train is absolutely spot on when it comes to length! It's not so long that you'll trip over it, but it still gives you that dramatic wow-factor for a show-stopping entrance ✨
