Bought this for a spring garden party, and it fit the theme perfectly. The ruffle shoulders give it a soft, romantic look that matched the flowers everywhere. I was running around chasing my toddler half the time, and the dress held up great. It didn't feel restrictive at all. I did notice a few loose threads near the hem when I took it out of the package, but I just snipped them off, and it was fine. It washes well too; I hand washed it and let it hang dry, and it looks as good as new.

I wore this as a guest to a winter wedding that was held indoors. I was worried I might be cold with short sleeves, but the venue was warm, and the dress was heavy enough to drape well but light enough to dance in. The V-neck isn't too deep, which is great for family events. I felt very secure in it. The color was a deep emerald green, and it looked stunning in the low lighting of the reception. It’s a straightforward, no-fuss dress that does exactly what it needs to do. I’ll definitely keep it in my closet for future formal occasions.

So, I have a love-hate relationship with formal wear, but this one was actually comfy. I wore it for a photoshoot we did for our anniversary. The way the skirt moves is really photogenic, especially with that side split. It made my legs look miles long! The bust area was a little loose on me, but nothing some fashion tape couldn't fix. I think if you are smaller chested, you might want to size down or plan for alterations. The fabric feels soft against the skin, not scratchy like some cheap chiffons can be. Definitely worth the buy.

I ordered this for my daughter's prom because she wanted something simple but sophisticated. She absolutely loved the shoulder ruffle detail; it made the dress feel young and fun. We did have to take it to a local tailor to get the waist taken in a smudge, but that's expected with online ordering. The movement of the dress when she walked was beautiful. It held up through hours of dancing and didn't look a wrinkled mess by the end of the night. It’s a solid choice if you want something that looks classic but still has a bit of personality.

I wore this to a formal charity gala last weekend, and I felt so elegant the entire night. The v-neck is flattering but modest enough that I didn't feel self-conscious leaning over tables or dancing. I chose the dark navy color, and it looked much more expensive than it actually was. The zipper felt a little stiff at first, but after running it up and down a few times, it was fine. I really appreciated how flowy the skirt is; it makes you want to twirl around! It’s definitely a dress I can see myself wearing again for other events, not just as a bridesmaid.
