- Promising Reviews: "I rarely leave reviews but just had to praise this dress. I needed a last-minute dress for a formal ball and this dress was perfect! Beautiful color and perfect length...I kept getting compliments I looked like a Greek goddess. I loved wearing it!" - Rachel
- "Amazing quality dress! Material was soft, zipper worked fine, great fit overall. Wore this to a wedding and loved it, except it was a bit long. It was workable with tall heels but once I took them off it was a trip hazard for myself and others, haha. Would still highly recommend tho...I'd just tell anyone 5'6" or shorter to have it hemmed. Also, make sure to have a steamer ready to get the wrinkles out from shipping or traveling." - S. Strus
