The lining is lovely and soft against the skin, which I really wasn't expecting. It didn't itch or rub whatsoever.

The stitching and overall finish on this are absolutely spot on. I had a dressmaker mate look it over and she couldn't believe what I paid for it. The boning in the strapless top keeps everything exactly where it should be, and the satin has a proper premium, understated sheen to it. It doesn't look tacky or cheap in the slightest. Such a relief to find something so well-made online.

I had a quick chat with their customer service before buying as I wasn't too sure about the neckline. They were absolutely brilliant and so polite, which really put my mind at rest. The whole checkout process was an absolute doddle. When I finally tried it on, it looked exactly like the pictures on the website.

Everyone thought I'd spent an absolute fortune on my outfit. The way the fabric drapes is just gorgeous, and my photographer mentioned how beautifully the matte satin photographed without any strange glare. Felt like a proper princess.

I was a bit nervous about ordering a fitted mermaid style online, but the size guide is absolutely spot on. It hugs the hips perfectly and flares out just right. I only need a tiny alteration on the hem because I've decided to wear flats instead of heels.
