I was worried the pencil style would be uncomfortable to sit in at dinner. But the fabric actually has a bit of give and doesn't dig into the hips. The only slight drawback is that the off-the-shoulder design restricts movement a bit when you put your arms up to dance, but for the price, it's a fantastic bargain.

Bought this for my son's wedding and was super nervous about the fit. The matte satin has a gorgeous heavy drape that doesn't cling to my tummy, which was a huge relief! The zip is a bit stiff at the thickest seam near the waist, so you just have to pull it gently. Otherwise, it looked stunning in the evening light.

The inner lining is super soft against the skin. Such a brilliant surprise considering the price!

Fast shipping and the material falls really nicely. Had a little loose thread by the zip, but just snipped it off. Awesome value for money!

The box arrived completely smashed and I had a bit of a panic, but the dress inside was perfectly fine. I got it dry cleaned after the event and it held its shape perfectly without losing any of that matte finish. The off-the-shoulder neckline stayed put better than I reckoned it would, though I did have to adjust it a few times.
