We had a small courthouse wedding followed by a dinner at a nice restaurant, and this dress fit the vibe perfectly. It wasn't too over-the-top for the city streets, but it still felt bridal. I paired it with a denim jacket for some cool urban photos, and the contrast with the lace was awesome. The bodice has decent structure, so I didn't feel like I was constantly pulling it up. It’s a bit long if you aren't wearing heels, so keep that in mind, but the overall quality is surprisingly good for an online find.

I bought this for a vow renewal ceremony we did for our 10th anniversary in our backyard. I didn't want to spend thousands like I did on my first dress, and honestly, I liked this one better. The A-line silhouette is just classic and works so well for curvy figures. I felt supported but not constricted. We had a casual BBQ afterward, and I didn't even feel the need to change. My husband couldn't stop staring at me. It’s just a sweet, romantic dress that does exactly what it needs to do without any fuss.

I’m a photographer, and I actually bought this dress for a styled shoot I was organizing in an old historic library. The model I hired was plus-size, and she said she felt incredibly comfortable in it. The way the tulle catches the light is gorgeous, and the lace bodice photographs beautifully. It has a vintage feel to it that worked perfectly for the theme. It’s durable too—we were moving around dusty bookshelves and it cleaned up easily. Definitely a great piece to have in a client closet or for a real bride on a budget.

Wore this for my rehearsal dinner because I wanted to be extra, and why not? It was a hit. The fit was great around the waist, which is usually my problem area. The sleeves drape nicely and don't restrict your movement too much. I will say, be careful with jewelry because my bracelet caught on the lace once, but that was my fault. It’s a very flattering cut that hides what you want to hide and highlights the good stuff. Super happy with how it looked in the candid photos my friends took.

I decided to elope in the mountains, and I needed something that traveled well but still felt like a real bridal gown. This dress was perfect. I packed it in a garment bag, and after a quick steam at the hotel, it was ready to go. The court train is just the right length—dramatic enough for photos on the rocks but not so long that I was tripping over it. The lace on the bodice is super soft, not itchy at all. I felt so confident and beautiful, which is exactly how you want to feel on your big day.
