Okay, so I grabbed this last minute for my anniversary dinner because my original outfit had a zipper malfunction. Talk about a lifesaver! I wasn't expecting much, but the elastic satin is a game changer. It’s stretchy enough that I could eat a full three-course meal and not feel like I was suffocating. The cut is very elegant but still feels a little sexy with the way it hugs curves. I did have to get the hem taken up a bit because I’m on the shorter side, but that’s normal for me. If you need something classy that doesn't feel like a costume, this is a good bet.

Wore this to a winter formal event at my husband’s company. I was worried about being cold, but the fabric is a decent weight—not too thin. I paired it with a faux fur shawl and felt like a movie star. The trumpet shape is really nice; it gives you that hourglass look even if you don't naturally have one. I appreciate that the zipper feels sturdy, too, because I’ve had bad luck with cheap zippers before. It’s a reliable dress that I think I’ll be able to wear to a few different weddings over the next couple of years.

I was worried about ordering online, but the size chart was actually pretty accurate for me. It’s a solid choice if you need something classy for a church wedding.

I wore this to my son's wedding last weekend and got so many compliments on the fit. It was super comfortable to dance in all night long.

Really happy with how this looked in the family photos we took at the reception. It’s simple but stylish, just make sure to steam it before wearing.
