The color is exactly what I wanted, vibrant and rich. It’s a little long for me since I’m only 5’2, so I’ll definitely need to get it hemmed before the big night. Other than the length, the cowl neck sits perfectly and doesn't gape open, which was my biggest worry. Solid purchase for the price.

The back of this dress is the real showstopper. My boyfriend couldn't take his eyes off me during our anniversary dinner. I ordered a size up just to be safe, and I'm glad I did because the hip area runs a tiny bit small. It’s super comfortable to sit in, which is rare for mermaid styles.

Okay, so the dress is beautiful, but the zipper was kinda sticky when I first tried it on. I had to rub some wax on it to get it to glide smoothly. Once it was on, though, it looked stunning. The material feels decent, not super high-end but definitely not cheap costume quality either. It works for what I need.

Obsessed with the silhouette of this dress. It hugs all the right curves without feeling too tight.

Ideally, I would have liked the lining to be a bit softer against the skin, but it wasn't itchy or anything. It held up great for six hours of dancing!
