Item wasn't for myself ordered for my mother in law for a family wedding as a surprise, as she was stressed about not looking the part at a the classy wedding venue and is someone who is very plain in her styling. She told me that she had silver shoes and handbag from another wedding years ago and didn't want to buy anymore, being a pensioner. We weren't too sure about the dress before trying on, it didn't look appealing, but the transformation when she tried it on, was unbelievable. The dress was beautiful and my mother in law said she felt absolutely lovely in it and she's never felt like that before, the sizing is spot on, length is lovely and silver shoes /bag go perfectly. Would recommend this dress, perfect for any special occasion.
