Pretty and Elegant, But You'll Need Nipple Covers and a Slip To Wear This In Public....
This dress size runs a bit smaller, and the material is not very thick, so you'll need to wear a slip and nipple covers or a bra if you are planning to wear this out in public. Overall, it's a nice dress, but there are a few things that could have been made better for usage.

Pros
classy, pretty, long length, ruffles, comfortable, stretchy
Cons
cheap jewellery hardware, material is really thin, and dress runs a bit small.
When I seen the White Long Gown by Espiral, my first thoughts were, “How elegant and classy”. I ordered the XL size in white (I meant to pick the black, but by accident I forgot to pick the colour darn-it-all!). The white is just as gorgeous as the black, but I find that being an XL, the black colour gives my body a slimmer look than white.
When I received the dress, it came in plastic packaging, folded neatly beneath a cardboard insert, which shows the model wearing the dress in both white, and black. It also states the brand, size, style, materials, and care instructions. You could re-use the packaging for storage, but the dress also has hanger loops near the armpit for easy hanging in your closet.
The first thing I noticed when I took the dress out of the packaging is the jewellery hardware on the straps that tie behind your neck. The hardware looks like a dark grey, but its actually light silver sparkles. The hardware also looks pretty solid in the stock photos… but they aren’t. The O-rings that hold the sparkled pieces together are just a tad thicker of those you could purchase at the dollar store (I know this because I make jewellery). With the hardware not being as solid as it should be, this means that there is more of a chance of the O-ring coming undone, or falling off. If this does happen and you have a pair of pliers, or jewellery making equipment, it’ll be super easy to fix. It may not happen, but just in case!
Also, on the hardware, one of the sparkly pieces has a few black gobs in it (the middle piece on the left hand side). You’ll be able to see this well in the photo below. All of the dresses won’t have these, as I am sure it was just an accident during manufacturing, but I wanted to note it anyway.
I’ve included a few measurements, if you need or would like a specific measurement, you can leave a comment or send me a message. All measurements have been done with the material being as is (not stretched).
Underneath bust length (from one side of the dress to the other): 16inches
Under bust to longest length of dress (the back of the dress at the bottom): 45inches
Under bust to shortest length of dress (the front middle area at bottom): 36 inches
Neck-ties (bottom of hardware to the end of the string) each one: 17 ½ inches each
Back ties (entire strap length) each one: 21 inches each
The dress runs a bit small, but there is quite a bit of stretch to the entire dress (except the hardware on the straps) so please note that these measurements are of the product NOT stretched.
The material composition of the dress as stated on the package:
93% Polyester
7% Elastan
The material is comfortable, and like I had said, super stretchy… but it is thin. It’s not see-through, but I wouldn’t feel comfortable wearing it out without a slip underneath, as it will show the silhouette of everything underneath the dress without one. Also, the bra is not padded, and it is just as thin as the rest of the dress. I would not be able to wear this dress out without a bra or nipple covers (what you do though is completely up to you). In the photo below, you’ll be able to see at the bottom of the dress, how thin the material is (You can see the colour of my floor through the dress lol).
The neck-ties are nice because if you have a larger chest, you can adjust the straps to make it work, and with a smaller chest, you can just tie the neck pieces tighter. The back ties are lovely as well because they are quite lengthy, so you can adjust as you see fit.
The care directions for the dress as stated on the packaging is as follows:
-Wash separately.
-Drip dry.
-Do not bleach.
And a suggestion from me… If you are going to put this in the wash, put it in a lingerie bag or a similar product. I have yet to wash this since I just got it, but when I do, I will probably hand-wash it because I’m quite nervous about the hardware busting while in the wash.

Experience
Overall, the product gets a 4 out of 5 from me. I would have given a three and a half, but that is not possible. The dress is beautiful, comfortable, and stretchy… but I feel the material really should be thicker to be able to wear out in public, and the hardware should have been a better quality. Oh, and for the shorter females, I'm average height (5'6) and without shoes on, the dress just touches the floor. Please see the measurements above to determine if you have shoes to wear so the dress does not drag.
Follow-up commentary
3 months after original review
After having this outfit for awhile now, and only wearing it a couple times, I'm sad to say I really don't like it that much any more. I purchased this dress thinking that I'd be able to wear it in public, but it is far too thin to actually wear out unless you wear a slip, nipple covers, etc. Also, we recently moved, and the jewellery hardware broke (as I knew it eventually would). I'll eventually fix it, but for $50, the hardware shouldn't be so flimsy and cheap in the first place. If I could go back in time, I probably would not purchase this.
