Top-notch stitching and finish. You can tell they took real care making this, not a single loose thread anywhere.

So comfy to wear for the whole event. The short sleeves give just enough coverage, and I could have a good dance in it without feeling restricted at all.

I was a bit hesitant to buy a dress online without trying it on first, but it fits an absolute treat. The bodice hugs really nicely without feeling too snug.

I was a bit worried about washing it after wearing it out to a nice dinner, but it actually held up amazingly well. I gave it a gentle hand wash and popped it on the line to dry. It kept its shape perfectly and the lace didn't pill or stretch out. Such a relief to find something so gorgeous that isn't a massive hassle to look after.

My parcel rocked up a bit late, which was a bit of a stress as I needed it for a family gathering. The packaging was tidy, though, and kept the dress safe from any damage in transit. Once I got it out and gave it a quick steam, it looked brilliant. It's a really decent dress for the price, though I reckon the courier could've kept me better in the loop.
