Even though it's not a floor-length gown, we still set aside time when it arrived to check the sleeves and the hem in her room. Worth confirming the delivery estimate for your own location, because the timeline can shift a little depending on where you are.

The tea-length hem with long sleeves is a great combination. She stayed warm at an outdoor fall ceremony and still looked completely dressy. Beautiful dress.

The gathered skirt gives the dress a lovely shape, not too poofy and not too flat. It moves beautifully and my daughter looked like a little lady in it.

The square neckline and the bow already give this dress plenty of character, so we didn't add much in the way of jewellery. She wore small stud earrings and that was it. The velvet feels rich and the whole look came together really clean.

The bow is the cutest detail, it's sewn on securely and adds just the right amount of charm. My daughter loves it and honestly, so do I.

The square neckline is really distinctive and the velvet is soft. It dips a little lower than I expected on my daughter, but it's still modest enough for a formal event.

The tea-length is perfect, long enough to feel formal but short enough that she can still run around without tripping. The A-line skirt is really flattering on her.

We specifically wanted velvet, long sleeves and a tea-length skirt, and this was the only option that checked all three boxes for us. We compared it against two other styles before deciding, and the fit, the way she could move in it, and the level of formality all won out.

Her main issue with dresses is always the bodice, so I asked support which measurements to send. I sent her actual bust and waist rather than guessing from her age, and they recommended a size that fit her through the square neckline perfectly. No gaping at the shoulders.

I wasn't sure how tea length would look on my daughter since she's tall for her age. We compared the garment measurements to her height and it hit her mid-calf exactly like the photos. She had no trouble walking or sitting cross-legged through the ceremony, which surprised me.
