The shipping took a little longer than I expected, but it arrived just in time for alterations. If you want that dramatic entrance look, this definitely does the job, just be prepared for the weight.

The satin feels pretty heavy and nice, not cheap like some stuff you find on the internet. I love the straight neckline; it makes my collarbones look great without showing too much skin. The sequins add a nice sparkle when the light hits them on the dance floor. I did have to get the hem taken up a couple of inches because it was way too long for me even with heels, but otherwise, the corset back made the fit really adjustable and snug.

Definitely steam it before wearing, as it comes pretty wrinkled out of the bag.

I needed something for a formal charity gala last month and decided to take a chance on this gown. it not so bad.

I’m usually between sizes, so the lace-up back was a lifesaver for getting the right fit around my waist. The only reason I'm not giving it five stars is that the armpit area was cut a little high for me and rubbed a bit by the end of the night.
