Getting married in July meant I was sweating heaps, and the inner lining isn't exactly the most breathable. I also noticed a bit of rubbing under my arms by the end of the night. However, the bow at the back stayed perfectly crisp all day and the slit saved me from tripping on the stairs.

I was a bit worried at first that the leg slit might show too much skin, but it's actually really subtle when you're just walking around. The satin feels gorgeous on the skin and isn't scratchy at all. I tried on a heaps more expensive dress at a bridal boutique that felt almost exactly the same.

Fits like a glove! I'm 175cm tall and the length was spot on with low heels.

I legit cried when I looked in the mirror. I mean, I didn't expect a dress off the net to be this good quality. Highly recommend.

My biggest fear was feeling restricted during our first dance. Turned out the A-line skirt has just enough swish without being heavy, and the leg slit gave me heaps of freedom. I did step on the hem a few times because I swapped to flats, but that's on me.
