I ordered this for a formal gala I had to attend last month. I’m usually hesitant about buying clothes online because sizing can be such a nightmare, but I followed the chart and it fit pretty well. The pleating on the bodice is actually very flattering if you want to hide a little tummy like me.

Bought this for a charity ball and I have mixed feelings but mostly good ones. The style is absolutely gorgeous and looks way more expensive than it is. The satin has a lovely sheen under evening lights. However, the sizing runs a tiny bit small in the bust area for me, so I had to wear a very specific bra to make it work. Once I got that sorted, though, it looked amazing. If you are curvy up top, maybe size up or check the measurements carefully. But honestly, for the way it looks in pictures, it was totally worth the extra effort.

I got this for a sophisticated evening cruise dinner with my husband. I wanted something that packed well and didn't need a ton of fussing. While it did arrive with some creases, a quick steam in the hotel room fixed it right up. The fit around the waist is very defining, which I love. It made me feel very feminine. The off-the-shoulder straps restrict your arm movement just a tiny bit if you’re trying to reach high up, but for eating, drinking, and light dancing, it’s perfectly fine. A lovely dress that makes you feel very elegant.

This was my pick for being the maid of honor at my best friend's wedding. She let us choose our own styles as long as it was the right color, and this one was a winner. The pockets (wait, I wish it had pockets!) – okay, no pockets, but the flow of the skirt makes you want to twirl. It’s very forgiving around the hips. I did notice a few loose threads near the hem, but nothing a pair of scissors couldn't fix in two seconds. It’s a solid, reliable dress that photographs beautifully. I’m keeping it in my closet for future fancy occasions.

I needed a dress for a winter formal event and decided to give this one a shot. I was worried the sleeveless style might be too cold, but I paired it with a faux fur wrap and it looked like old Hollywood glam. The construction feels sturdy, not flimsy like some other online dresses I’ve tried. The pleats are sewn really well and didn't lose their shape after sitting for hours. It’s a bit long, so definitely plan on wearing heels or getting it tailored. I’m really happy with how it turned out and felt very chic the whole evening.
