Semi Formal Dresses

This was my back-up dress! I got lots of comments and felt very comfortable in it! It does run a little big and despite the in-built cups, I wore a strapless bra to fill it out (I’m a D). The fabric has a bit of stretch so I could have sized down but found this fitted in all the right places and skimmed the ones I didn’t want to highlight. It’s quite long and even though I’m tall and with high heels, it still kissed the ground.

The material is a little bit scratchy around the neck due to the gold sparkle in the material. It is really really sparkly not what I expected. Without the belt it is like a tent. The belt that comes with it was too small for me. The top layer of the material had small tears in it but you couldn’t see that with all the detail in the dress.

I couldn't go past this beautiful fabric - the colours are even better in real life! I was expecting it to be a midi dress but it was a maxi on me (165cm) and the sleeves are HUGE in real life, the attached photo is with them flattened as much as I could. The fabric is beautiful but it is a cotton so it required quite a lot of ironing before I could wear it. I wasn't sure about the sizing for this brand so went for the 10 and it fit well with the belt, I would say it has potential to run slightly smaller than some other GC brands.

I loved wearing this designer dress. Beautiful fabric and colours. Perfect for a Gold Coast race day.

Love this dress. The length is very long. It fitted well up top. Waist was a little loose.

I wish I could have worn it but the bust was too small. I also think I got a rash from the sequins.
