"Heavier than I thought it would be. Good for a spring dress when it’s not too hot outside."
— Dia H. (5/5)
"Love this dress. Looks so unusual but so pretty. The layers are way bigger than expected!"
— Kelly H. (5/5)
"The texture is so much thicker than I imagined which is great, and it looks like I should be running dramatically through a castle the way the skirt billows as I move. I absolutely adore this dress! I did have an issue with shipping (down to Royal Mail not Killstar) but it was sorted so quickly with zero fuss"
— Bronwen R. (5/5)
"Gorgeous dress. Material is really good. It's cotton and feels that's way. Layer is awesome and makes it interesting looking. I think it could be wears with boot and sandals. I can't wait to wear it. I love it."
— Vladyslava H. (5/5)
"The quality is good for what it is but from the photo it’s not what I expected. I thought it would be like a flowy chiffon but it’s a stiff cheesecloth cotton (should’ve read the description). Returned because it fits very oddly and is extremely unflattering and so long it drags. Might work as a maternity dress?. . Just a weird design overall, it might work if it were a different material."
— Marintha P. (2/5)
"Quality of the fabric is very good. Though there are so many layers that the top of the dress becomes very thick and bulky. This also makes it quite heavy. It is also a bit long, so the longest pieces drag on the floor."
— Emily C. (3/5)
"Very, very different fabric from what the picture would imply, but I love it! It's made of tiered thick cotton that is heavy, but soft. I wear it around the house and my kitties love to bat at the sides and nuzzle in the piles of fabric in my lap."
— Kisa B. (5/5)
"The quality of this dress was amazing, the way it flows is great, it is long i have to pull the straps full around for me (5'4) Or you could ware heels, delighted with my purchase, looks so good on me"
— Sile O. (5/5)
"I love the texture of the fabric. It looks awesome and I adore to wear it. Summer or winter it's perfect. I prefer to Plateau boots. It is very long and falls to the ground when worn. I am only 164 cm tall, hence the recommendation for shorter people. ๐โจ"
— Angelique K. (5/5)
"I'm obsessed with this dress. I had my eye on it in the summer, but I waited until it went on sale (winter). I've been layering it with a turtleneck, a cropped leather jacket, and tights, and it's the cutest thing! Other reviewers have said that they didn't like the silhouette, but I love it. It's giving very haunted Victorian child. The fabric is heavy, high quality layers of cotton gauze, so it's going to be very breathable in hot weather, and it looks sexy with the high hem in the front. It's a tiny bit long on the longer parts, but a platform or a wedge is plenty to keep it off the ground. I can already tell this one is going to be a favorite piece in my wardrobe."
— Jenny F. (5/5)
