Solene

I wore this to my daughter's wedding and felt comfortable from the ceremony through the dancing. The sweetheart neckline sat well without gaping, and the long sleeves gave me the coverage I wanted. The beading has a nice weight - not scratchy at all. I only had the hem shortened. Overall happy with it.

Finally a gown that skims my hips without squeezing. The sleeves reached my wrists and stayed put. Length was almost right with low heels.

The dress looked elegant,and the beadwork caught the light without feeling flashy. I am hourglass shaped and the waist sat in the right place, so the mermaid skirt felt balanced. The sleeves were comfortable for a full evening.

The mauve shade is gentle and pretty, and the fit was right for me.

Most long-sleeve gowns are tight around my biceps. These had enough give, and the bodice supports my build. Good for a long evening event.

I hesitated ordering a long-sleeve gown because of my build, but the structured bodice keeps the shoulders from pulling. It ran slightly roomy through the waist, so I had it taken in a touch - five minutes with a tailor. The skirt balances my shoulders with a gentle flare. Wore it to a charity ball and felt neat all night. Athletic builds: size down through the torso if between sizes.

The lace detail is lovely and it photographs well. The bodice sat snug across my midsection, so I exchanged for a larger size and the fit improved a lot. Four stars only because the size chart ran tight for my shape.

I wore this as a mother of the bride dress and felt polished all day. The lace sleeves gave enough coverage, while the sweetheart neckline kept it from looking too heavy. On my apple shape, the ruching helped define my waist, and the muted blush-mauve color photographed beautifully indoors.

Clean line on a straighter frame. The sleeves add a little structure without looking heavy. A few people commented on it at the event.

The soft purple-pink color is beautiful. It fit right and felt comfortable.

Three stars to be fair: the quality is decent and the look matches the listing. But it ran small through the hips and thigh, which is where I needed room most. I went up a size and still had the skirt let out by a tailor. If you order, start early - it needed a few adjustments before the event. Once fixed, it looked fine.

Waist was slightly roomy, but a quick nip at the tailor fixed it. The beading held up well through the night. Otherwise perfect.

I was nervous about ordering a fitted gown online, but this one worked out well. The mermaid shape followed my athletic build without pulling at the shoulders, and the beaded lace added just enough detail. The dusty rose-mauve tone looked classy with silver shoes.

Fits through the hips exactly right. Length ran long with low heels, so I had it shortened. Otherwise pleased.

Pretty beadwork, nice lining, and the color looked true to the photos.

I've returned gowns before because the beading was stiff and scratchy. This one was comfortable enough to wear for hours - the sleeves especially were a surprise, soft against the arms. It stayed neat from photos to the last dance. Wore it to an awards dinner.

Fits curves well - waist sits in the right place and the skirt flares where it should. The neckline stayed secure all evening, which I was worried about. Length needed taking up for my height, easy enough with a tailor. Four stars; otherwise the fabric is fine.

This gown felt dressy without being stiff. The lace sleeves had a little give, which helped because my arms are usually where formal dresses feel tight. I liked that the muted mauve color was not too purple or too pink, and the floor length was just right with heels.

The sweetheart shape held up well without needing extra tape. Waist is fitted, sleeves hit the wrist. Enjoyed the wedding.

The dress looks more expensive than the price suggests. On my apple shape the bodice was slightly generous, so I layered a thin cami and it looked fine. Four stars because sizing through the torso is a bit inconsistent; otherwise I like how it photographed.

The lace, beading, and soft mauve shade made it feel special without being overdone.

Three stars isn't about the materials - the lace is good and stitching is clean. The problem is the fit on a straighter frame: it was roomy through the bodice and didn't define my waist. A belt didn't help because of the skirt shape. Curvier builds probably get a better result. If you're straight through the torso like me, size down and expect tailoring.

The gown is beautiful, especially the dusty mauve color and the beadwork around the lace. I gave it four stars because it was slightly small through the hips on my pear shape, so sitting took a little care. Once I changed shapewear, it looked much smoother.

I'd avoided fitted skirts because I'm pear-shaped and assumed they'd squeeze my hips. There's enough fabric through the thigh before it flares, so it skims rather than clings. The long sleeves kept me comfortable outdoors in the evening. I sat through dinner and danced without feeling restricted. Just hem it if you're shorter.

Fit well through the waist and bust. I forgot I was wearing it halfway through the reception. Would order again from this brand.

Nice quality and a lovely rose-mauve color, but the waist was slightly loose on me.

Nice dress, but the back and shoulders ran tight for my broader build. Size up. The lace has more detail in person.

I loved the overall look, but I did need the bodice taken in a little. My column shape can make fitted gowns feel loose through the middle, and this one was slightly large there. After the alteration, the lace fabric looked very refined.

The fabric has a richness that shows up well in photos. On a column frame the line stays clean, and the long sleeves keep it modest for a church evening event. The zipper glides, the lining is decent, and the length was almost right with heels.
