I was honestly super nervous about buying my wedding dress online, especially for an outdoor summer ceremony, but this one worked out surprisingly well. The lace details are actually really pretty in person, way better than the photos showed. It fit pretty snug around the waist, so I didn't need much tailoring there, though the length was a bit much for my height even with heels. The fabric is breathable, which saved me from sweating too much during our garden vows. It’s not the heaviest, most expensive-feeling material, but for the price and the look, I really can't complain. It held up great for dancing all night!

I loved the v-neck cut; it felt elegant without being too revealing for a daytime event. The cutout in the back added a nice modern touch that my friends really complimented.

The silhouette is really flattering and hugs curves in the right places. I was a bit worried the cutout would look cheap, but it’s actually done tastefully. The only thing is the zipper felt a little sticky at first, so just be gentle with it. Once it was on, I felt amazing watching the sunset. It’s a solid choice if you want style on a budget.

I grabbed this dress as a reception outfit because I wanted something lighter to change into after the ceremony. It was perfect for that! The sleeveless design let me move my arms freely, which was essential for hugging guests and tossing the bouquet. The lace isn't scratchy, which is a huge plus because I have sensitive skin.

I wore this for our engagement shoot because I wanted a trial run before spending thousands on the main day dress, and honestly, I almost just wore this for the wedding instead. The trumpet shape is super flattering if you have an hourglass figure. We took pictures in a downtown urban setting, and the dress looked so chic against the brick buildings. It does wrinkle a little easily if you sit in the car for too long, so bring a steamer if you’re traveling with it. It’s a great dress for the price point, just make sure you check your measurements carefully before buying.
