Ariessa

I'm five foot eight and the hem hit me right at the floor with low heels, no dragging. The waist sat where it should and the skirt fell soft. The arms stayed covered the way I wanted and stayed put all day. Only the straps needed a small tuck. I got several compliments on how the fabric caught the light.

The skirt follows my hips and flares gently, and the waist sits in the right place without binding. Walked and sat in it comfortably all day. Wore it to my daughter's wedding and stayed happy with it from morning to evening, through photos and a long meal.

This gown is even prettier in person than on screen. The soft sage green tone is unique and flattering, and the sequin embroidery catches the light like tiny diamonds. As a column body type, I appreciated how the A-line cut gave me shape and movement without clinging. The bateau neckline is refined, and the sheer bell sleeves add just the right amount of drama. The satin waist defined my figure perfectly, and the fit was right on my usual size. I wore it to a formal dinner and felt like the most elegant woman in the room. Several people asked where I got it. Absolutely recommend. ??

Wore this to an evening gala and loved every second.

The skirt stayed in place even after an hour of dancing, which I worried about. The bodice is light, not heavy, and the sleeves didn't bind when I raised my arms. Stayed comfortable until late.

The bodice sits cleanly and the skirt skims rather than clings. Length needed a small hem for my height, easy with a tailor. The top stayed neat all evening. Would recommend.

After trying on dozens of gowns, this one ended my search. The satin waist cinched my hourglass figure just right, while the full skirt floated around my hips. I loved the bateau neck with its delicate sequins �� sophisticated yet comfortable for hours.???

Fits curves well - waist sits in the right place and the skirt falls where it should. The top stayed neat 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.

The fabric 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.

The bodice skims rather than clings at the midsection, which is exactly what I needed. The top sits at a good height, and the skirt falls cleanly from the waist. Received a few compliments on how put-together it looked.

No pulling at the bodice, no gaping at the top. Length breaks cleanly with low heels, and the fabric has a nice weight that drapes well without wrinkling much. It kept my arms comfortable, which was a concern for me. Pleased overall.

This is a lovely formal dress and the embellishment is gorgeous. The skirt was comfy around my tummy, and the fit was right on. One star off because the waistband felt snug after dinner �� perfect unless you plan a big meal! ??

Ordered my usual size and it fit like the photos. The waist is defined and the skirt falls nicely. The top stayed neat all evening. No alterations needed for me.

I hesitated ordering a fitted bodice because of my build, but it sits correctly without pulling. The skirt skims rather than clings. It ran slightly roomy through the waist, so I had it taken in a touch. Felt neat all evening.

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

This gown is absolutely gorgeous and the sequins are exquisite. Heads up: it runs small, especially through the hips for my pear figure, so I recommend ordering a size up. Once I did, it was perfection for my son's wedding. ??

On a straighter build the dress still looks put-together because the waist is defined and the skirt has a soft flare. Length hit me right at the ankle without alterations. The top is modest enough for a formal occasion.

The lining felt smooth and the fabric draped without sticking. The waist sat in the right place and the skirt moved when I walked. The arms were covered well, which is why I chose this style. Would order again.

Waist was slightly roomy, but a quick nip at the tailor fixed it. Length hit me right at the ankle, and the skirt moved easily when I walked. The arms had a nice drape and covered what I wanted. Otherwise happy.

I bought this for our anniversary celebration and the overall look was stunning. The bateau neckline flattered my athletic shoulders, and it glowed under the restaurant lights. I'm giving four stars instead of five as the hem had a small loose thread I had to trim �� a small quality slip at this price point. Otherwise the sizing was true, the fabric was substantial, and the full skirt was very flattering on my frame. It packed easily and needed no steaming before the big night. I'd still recommend it, just wish the finishing were a bit more careful. ??

Most fitted bodices squeeze my hips or gap at the waist. This one got it right - the bodice sits cleanly, and the skirt has enough fabric through the thigh. I walked across grass in it and sat through a long meal without adjusting. The top shows the collarbone but stays covered, and the fabric reads soft rather than loud in photos.

I wanted something polished for my daughter's wedding and this checked every box. The drape of the dress was beautiful, and the full skirt created a flattering silhouette over my pear-shaped hips. It was luxurious from start to finish, and the sizing was exact. The collar was classy and the sleeves were comfy all evening. My daughter said I looked beautiful, which meant the world to me. The quality impressed me immediately upon unboxing. It survived a full night of hugs, photos, and dancing with no problems whatsoever. Would buy it again in a second. ??

Skirt is tailored beautifully. Bodice ran snug through the bust, so I wore a lighter lining. Otherwise pleased. The arms have a nice drape.

The material is heavier than I expected, in a good way. The arms ran a little long and covered my hands until I had them shortened. The waist sat well and the skirt draped nicely over my hips. Happy overall.

Arrived pressed and well packed. It fit like described, and the length hit me right around the ankle. Four stars only because the lining could breathe a little better on a warm day.

The gown itself is charming and the shimmer is fine. It runs a little snug across the shoulders and bust for my column frame, so sizing up is wise if you're between sizes. After exchanging, it looked wonderful at my daughter's wedding. ??

I've avoided fitted bodices because they pull across my back. This one sits correctly without gaping, and the arms had room without binding. Wore it to a long celebration and didn't adjust it once.

The fabric detail showed up well in photos, and the length meant I didn't worry about dragging. The waist sat in the right place. Received a few compliments.
