The invisible zip is a bit of a hassle right at the thick waist seam, so you definitely need a bridesmaid mate to help you get dressed. Once it was on though, the built-in bust support was awesome and I felt secure even while jumping around on the dance floor.

I mean, the dress is gorgeous, but the zip was a bit of a pain around the waist. Thank goodness the fabric isn't see-through at all under the venue lights.

Being a bridesmaid means standing around for ages for photos, and this dress made it a piece of cake. The A-line cut gave my tummy heaps of breathing room after the three-course dinner. I did notice the satin gets a tiny bit of static in dry weather, but a quick spray of anti-static sorted it out no worries.

I was worried the satin would show every lump and bump, but the A-line cut really hides the tummy when sitting down. The only thing is it looks a bit shinier in flash photos than in real life, but no biggie.

Stunning and super comfy for the whole ceremony. No worries at all with the sleeves slipping.
