The pockets! I didn't realize it had pockets until I tried it on, and that changed everything. I kept my lipstick and tissues in there during the reception. The dress feels sturdy and well-made, not flimsy at all. It was a huge hit with my family.

I was honestly surprised by how heavy the fabric felt, in a good way. It doesn't look cheap at all. I wore it for our backyard ceremony and got so many compliments on the lace details. Definitely worth it if you're on a budget but still want to look fancy.

It’s a solid dress. I probably could have sized down for a tighter fit in the waist, but it was nothing a belt couldn't fix. The sweep train adds just enough drama for walking down the aisle. I'm really happy with how it turned out for the price.

I was skeptical about the satin material, thinking it might be too shiny, but it has a nice matte finish that photographs beautifully. It held up really well during our outdoor photoshoot even with a bit of wind. Great purchase for anyone looking for a classic style.

The mix of lace and satin is lovely. I wore this for a formal dinner after our courthouse wedding and felt completely appropriate. It’s elegant without being over the top. Just be careful with jewelry snagging on the lace part, but otherwise, it's perfect.
