On a straight figure the tea length and fitted lace bodice work better than a floor gown. The green is deep and rich in daylight.

Took photos in my bedroom mirror before leaving for a wedding and the green read bright and clear even indoors. I have a narrow frame and the fitted lace top gives me shape without padding. The back closes cleanly and the zipper does not catch. Wore it for six hours including a long dinner and it never felt restrictive.

Dress is as described, lace is soft rather than scratchy and the length is right for heels. My complaint is timing, tracking stalled for eight days and it arrived three days before the wedding, leaving no room for alterations. Customer service was polite and refunded part of the express fee. Give yourself a month if you need it for a fixed date.

Wore this to a church ceremony and the lace drew compliments, yet the chest panel pressed whenever I took a breath. Squeezing into it was not worth it, I would size up next time.

I liked the cut so much I bought a second color for a gala. The lace has a good pattern rather than a cheap repeat, and the bodice keeps its shape after being packed in a suitcase for a weekend. Tea length is practical for older guests and still formal. The only thing I added was a thin belt at the waist for definition.

June outdoor ceremony, ninety degrees, and I did not overheat. The outer layer breathes and the lining still keeps it decent.

The high low cut is dramatic in photos, though the front hem was cut unevenly by about an inch and I had it evened out at a tailor. Color is a stronger green than my screen suggested, closer to a forest shade. Otherwise the lace is good quality, the sleeves are comfortable, and the skirt holds its shape while walking.

Bought this for my son's rehearsal dinner and ended up wearing it to the ceremony too. The illusion neckline does not itch, the lining breathes, and the skirt does not need pressing between events. In photos the green looked jewel toned and slightly darker than in daylight, both versions flattering. Two other mothers asked for the link.

My daughter married in June and I wanted something covered but not matronly. The emerald lace over illusion fabric is rich without being loud, the three quarter sleeve hid my upper arms, and the high low hem let me walk on grass without dragging. I am a pear shape and the A line flared right where I need it. My daughter cried when she saw me, so that settles it.

Three quarter sleeves cover the part of my arm I dislike while still looking dressy. The high low hem also means no tripping on stairs.
