I was a bit iffy about buying without trying it on first. The fabric drapes really well and has a nice weight to it, it's not one of those thin, see-through materials. The frills give it a super sophisticated touch and are really flattering.

The neckline is really modest but still modern and stylish. Perfect for a church ceremony.

I was worried the ruffle might look too chunky, but it sits completely flat and just gives the skirt a great structural element. Really clever design.

Such a bargain! Looks like a designer piece.

This dress takes such great photos! We just got the professional pics back from the event, and the satin has this gorgeous subtle sheen that catches the light perfectly without looking shiny or cheap.
