I wore this to my daughter's wedding and stayed comfortable from the afternoon ceremony through the evening reception. The fabric is light, so I didn't overheat in a crowded hall, and the skirt moved with me when I danced. The V-neck sat at a good height and the flutter sleeves covered my upper arms, which I wanted. I only had the hem taken up a touch. Overall pleased.

A-line cut works well on a pear shape - fitted at the waist, gentle through the hips. The sleeves stayed put and the length was almost right with low heels.

Wore this on a warm summer evening and never felt heavy. The skirt moves, the sleeves hang loose, and the neckline is comfortable. It stayed neat from photos to the last dance, and I didn't have to keep adjusting the shoulders. Good choice for outdoor events where you want to look put-together without wearing layers.

I wasn't expecting much from a box, but this one surprised me. The skirt has a nice swing, the embroidery catches the light without being flashy, and the fabric breathes. Wore it to an evening wedding and danced until late. True to size if you follow the waist measurement.

This was the main reason I picked it - I didn't want bare arms at an evening event. The loose sleeves do a nice job without making the shoulders look heavy, and the V-neck keeps the neckline open instead of matronly. Wore it to an outdoor wedding and a cool breeze felt fine through the fabric. Good choice if you're self-conscious about your upper arms.

I hesitated ordering loose sleeves because of my build, but they hang from the shoulder nicely without adding width. The skirt skims rather than clings. It ran slightly roomy through the waist, so I had it taken in a touch. Wore it to a charity ball and felt neat all night. Athletic builds: size down through the torso if between sizes.

The embroidery 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.

Clean construction, even hems, smooth zipper. On a straighter frame the skirt adds a gentle line. Wore it to a daytime event.

No stiff lining, no scratchy seams. The skirt has a soft fall. Wore it to a daytime wedding and felt at ease the whole time.

The skirt flows nicely and the detail is delicate without being fussy. I felt dressed up but not like I was trying too hard. Wore it to a friend's wedding, sat through a long ceremony, and danced comfortably afterward. The waist is cut well and the fabric breathes.

Waist is well cut and the skirt skims. Slightly roomy through the bodice, an easy fix with a tailor. Otherwise happy.

Three stars to be fair: the quality is decent and the look matches the listing. But it ran small through the waist and hip, 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.

The skirt adds a soft shape without being dramatic. Waist is defined, sleeves hang clean. Wore it to a luncheon event and got a few comments.

Waist was slightly roomy, but a quick nip at the tailor fixed it. The skirt moved nicely all evening. Otherwise happy with it.

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

The fit through the waist was just right, and the fabric moved nicely as I walked. On my column shape, it gave me a little definition at the waist. I appreciated that the sleeves and lining stayed comfortable through several hours of standing, sitting, and greeting guests.

I've avoided loose skirts because they add volume on me. This one stays light and skims rather than balloons, even after a full dinner. The detail around the bodice is subtle, not loud. I wore it to an awards dinner and didn't feel overheated once, even in a packed room. The skirt swings when you walk without looking messy.

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.

The skirt drapes well when you walk. Waist is fitted and the neckline sits right. Enjoyed the wedding.

Fits curves well through the waist. Skirt falls softly and the neckline is a good length. Happy with the purchase.

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 skirt starts right below the natural waist, so it skims over the middle without clinging. Good coverage through the chest too. Wore it to a spring family wedding and felt at ease.

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

The black and champagne chiffon gown is lovely and looked appropriate for the event. On my apple shape, the A-line cut was comfortable through the middle. It steamed easily.

The black and champagne chiffon gown felt comfortable for the whole event. On my athletic shape, there was a little extra room through the shoulders. I felt dressed up without being restricted, and I would choose it again for another wedding or formal family occasion.

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

The sleeves don't bind at all. Slightly snug in the bodice, so size up if you're fuller through the chest. Otherwise a nice, easy dress.

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

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