"Really impressed with the quality of this dress, its heavy enough to hang well but not too heavy that it feels smothering. Im 5ft 10 and its a good ankle skimming length on me! I got a size L, im usually a 12ish on top and 14 for bottoms and I was happy with the fit. I did swap out the plastic-y feeling ties for some faux leather that sit a bit flatter. I wore it to a LOTR day and recommended it to so many people 😅"
"Dieses Kleid ist sehr gemütlich und luftig leicht. Es hat einen sehr dünnen angenehmen Stoff, aber man kann nicht hindurchsehen. Ich habe recht schmale Schultern, aber es hält trotzdem gut, aber verrutscht leicht mal. Und zu lang ist es auch nicht, ich bin 1, 63 groß, es reicht mir bis zu den Knöcheln . Wenn man sich sicher sein möchte dass es an den Schultern fest sitzt kann es wunderbar mit einem schicken Unterbrust Korsett mit Trägern kombinieren. Es gibt einen schönen mittelalterlichen, Touch, es hat etwas romantisches , fantasievolles, mysteriöses. Allerdings muss man es lieber per Hand waschen , denn es schrumpft etwas ,wenn man es ab 30 Grad in die Waschmaschine steckt! Mir persönlich passte es dann noch besser, die Ärmel werden dann etwas kürzer, aber die Taille bleibt relativ flexibel da das Kleid sehr stretchig ist. Die Lederbänder von der eingearbeiteteten Korsage habe ich vor demWaschen rausgenommen, und dafür andere Stoffbänder genommen, die man mit waschen kann."
"Such a dreamy dress. The waist strings and the sleeves are very flattering"
"The Fabric Material is Light and the Shape is really awesome. I got much compliments for the look."
"I love the neckline on this, it looks really great alone with a necklace. The fabrics is nice and light so it can be layered. I think its pretty true to size. I love to customise the underbust lacing with ribbon and charms so match my accessories often."
"Really pretty and comfy Gothic dress but do think it's costly for what it is, at least fabric wise. Doesn't feel the most secure if you are bigger chested either which is a shame because I did like it just can't justify the price and how I feel in it"
"It is so light and wonderful dress for many occasions! Great for a spooky summer look - I highly recommend this dress!"
"i love this dress! i was a little hesitant because of the uncertainty of other buyers when it comes to size and length, but i was not disappointed. the design looks amazing and i love the details with the laces, but do follow the size guide before purchasing. the size runs slightly larger than normal, im 168 cm and 170lbs and got a size M, and even though the length is great (skirt and sleeves), the waist is a little big (but nothing that can’t be fixed with a corset or pins). Overall super excited to start wearing it!"
"Loved the dress Fitted well Style suited me perfectly Fabric is heavy , still slightly see thru though in the light so you may need to wear something under it. But, have had to ask for a refund as ive discovered a hole in the back of the fabric just above the elasticated section, and ive not even worn it yet. Seems to have been missed when sewn. So now im waiting to hear from customer services in order to return it."
"This dress is gorgeous, a little too long for me personally and I have to lift it when I walk upstairs. It fits great and it's a nice lightweight fabric that makes this good for warmer months as well. My only complaint is the little ties on the side are these rigid pleater strings that don't sit right. I replaced them with a more flexible cotton string and it looks just as good!"
