The court train is a bit longer and heavier than I expected from the pics. It's still a truly stunning dress and the lace quality is top-notch, just be ready for a bit of a workout lugging it around before you bustle it up.

The sizing was a bit tricky as I'm between sizes, so I had to get the waist taken in a tad. But honestly, the material feels lovely and it looks absolutely fab in the end.

I ended up ordering my exact measurements and it fits like an absolute glove. The stretch chiffon made it super comfy to sit and have dinner in, which was a massive priority for me. The lace details are stitched on really well and nothing looks glued or tacky. Best buy I made for my big day.

Everyone thought I spent thousands on this. The train is dramatic and gorgeous, though I had to figure out a way to bustle it up myself for the reception. The fabric has just enough stretch to be forgiving after a massive dinner.

I wore it all day and it was heaps comfortable. The inner lining is super soft against the skin, and it doesn't dig in even if you're sitting for ages. The cape sleeves are an absolute dream—I got so many compliments from the whole family.
