They look so smooth and shiny on. And they’re SO SOFT. They feel like when you put soft pajama pants on right after shaving and exfoliating. They’re like butter. My mind honestly is having trouble processing how amazing and structured they look with how amazing they feel...The minute I put them on I ordered a second pair." —Amazon Customer

Promising reviews: "Super cute Dior Saddle Bag dupe. Very high quality. I get compliments all the time on it." —Katie

I love the slit it has in the side because it gives it a different look. I am 5'9 and it is right above my knees. For the price I am shocked as to how beautiful they are.

Promising review: "I bought this dress for a wedding, and in usual internet-fashion panic, I bought it a size larger, since I could fix it if it was too large... Not only did it fit beautifully, I realized that since the bodice was structured like a corset, I should have just bought [my usual size] so it could hold breasts properly...It's made with great material, the whole thing fits and feels like a dream, and isn't heavy at all. It looked amazing out of the box, and was worth every cent I paid. Definitely buying another dress from this seller." —Vivian Nguyen
