I was able to hike up a small trail for our photos without feeling restricted. It’s definitely a simple dress, so I dressed it up with a sparkly belt and a cathedral veil, and it came together beautifully.

The open back gave it that "bride" feeling, while the long sleeves kept it classy and appropriate for the venue. My favorite part was probably the fit; I ordered a standard size and it hugged in all the right places without being too tight.

Okay, so I bought this as a reception dress because my main ceremony gown was huge and heavy, and I ended up liking this one almost as much as the first! It was perfect for the party. The scoop neck is very flattering without showing too much, and the long sleeves gave it a chic, polished look. I was dancing all night and didn't feel like I was overheating. The train is a bit long for just a reception, so I had a bustle added by my tailor, which worked out great. For the price point, the stitching and fabric quality are honestly impressive.

I did have to get the hem taken up because I'm on the shorter side, but otherwise, the fit was spot on. It looked way more expensive than it actually was, which is a huge win in my book.

The open back on this dress is everything! I wore this for our destination wedding in Italy, and looking at the photos now, the back details just pop against the old architecture. The fabric traveled really well, too. I steamed it quickly at the hotel, and the wrinkles fell right out. It’s got this sleek, modern vibe but still feels classic because of the train. It definitely hugs your curves, so good shapewear is a must, but it made me feel super confident walking down the aisle. If you want something simple but elegant without all the fuss of lace or beads, this is a solid choice.
