Customers praised this elegant 1940s-inspired evening gown for its beautiful design and distinctive cape detail that makes wearers "feel really special." The dress is notably lightweight and comfortable. However, shoppers under 5ft may need alterations for length, as sizing runs long for petite customers.

  • Beautiful, I love the cape detail. You feel really special in it.
  • It's really light to wear too.
  • I'll definitely feel like a 1940's Hollywood siren wearing it.

Beautiful Celeste dress

I ordered the Celeste dress & so glad I did. It is beautiful, I love the cape detail. You feel really special in it. I'll have to get it made a bit shorter cos I'm under 5ft but I'm used to doing that with most dresses I buy. I'll definitely feel like a 1940's Hollywood siren wearing it. It's really light to wear too.

the most fabulous gown you will ever own

I have been eyeing this one up for years and discovering there was a final limited run meant I just had to purchase and it has not disappointed. It is amazing, I feel like the most glamorous goddess possible and the swish of the skirt and the fit of the bodice are amazing. I read on a previous review that it has a bit of stretch and it does so I didn't size up for this one which I usually do. Which means I can eat my Christmas dinner in it as well. So glad I got it, and planning on taking it to my next Burgh Island trip where I will simply be the best dressed gal love it!

Arrived on time and couldn't wait to try it on as it is for a special art deco black tie event in September for my birthday.

It is out of this world and according to my partner, mum and friend, looks stunning on me.

They very rarely give such high praise.

More importantly, I felt beautiful in it

Comfortable Glamor

I was looking for dress that I could wear to a formal engagement, and I happened upon this beauty. I fell in love instantly when I saw it. It's so glamorous. I recieved it very quickly and taking it out of the box was an experience in itself. It's stunning in person. I tried it on, and I was floored! I don't ever think I found a more flattering dress for my body, let alone a formal dress. The most amazing thing about this dress is how comfortable it is!! I am 5'10" with an hourglass shape and the ruching in the front camouflages the mommy tummy so beautifully. The dress is long enough to reach the top of my feet, which finding dresses long enough is a challenge for tall ladies. I'd have to wear flats, but considering everything, small price to pay.

TLDR: this dress is glamorous, extremely flattering, and super comfortable to party all night in! Absolutely reccomend!! Thank you, HOF!

Yay! So welcome xxx
