Amazing design!

I LOVE the design of this dress, personally I don't love the fabric choice because it wrinkles very easily. And for the price I do believe it should have had a lining. But minor details. You can easily throw a slip or a skirt underneath! Can't wait to wear it!

Dear Serein,

Firstly, thank you so so much for your purchase! Your support means the world! And thank you for sharing your feedback. I truly value your perspective and want to address your concerns with care.

The decision to forgo lining in the dresses was made based on input from customers who found lining made the dresses too warm for wear, especially during hotter months. Additionally, lining would increase the overall cost of production, and I strive to keep my prices as affordable as possible while maintaining ethical practices. All my items are ethically produced and globally certified, ensuring workers are paid fair wages—a commitment that sets my brand apart from many others that don’t prioritize certifications or transparency in their production processes. Regarding the fabric material, it is made from nearly 100% natural cotton, which can wrinkle more easily than synthetic materials like polyester. I appreciate your understanding as I work to balance quality, comfort, and ethical production values.

Thank you again for your thoughts, and if you have any further suggestions, I’m always happy to hear them! :)

Kindly,
Yasaman

Well made, will last for years.

I absolutely adore this dress. It’s comfortable, true to size and well made. I want to know how to keep the sleeves this nice and poofy! I am afraid to wash it.

Hi Ashley,

Thank you so so much for your review and support! It means so much and you looks so gorgeous! My suggestion to wash would be to wash on a gentle and cold cycle and then hang dry to make sure it keeps its shape. :)

Kindly,

Beautiful dress, AMAZING COMPANY

The Minerva is absolutely stunning and fits perfectly. The size guide is clear and spot on for accuracy with the fit of the dress. I can't wait to get my hands on more pieces from this brand. The postal service had an issue with losing my parcel and the problem was solved so quickly and without any hassle. If any small business deserves love and attention and support, yall should for SURE choose Blackwood Castle!!!!!

Hi Leigh,

Thank so so much for such a kind review! It literally put a huge smile on my face and made my day. I'm so happy you love your new dress. Sending lots of love your way! :)
