I recently purchased 3 dresses from Venus, I purchased the knot front maxi dress, the wrap maxi dress and the maxi w/tassel detail. For the most part the dresses did look like what was depicted in the pictures. All of the dresses are thin and a slip will need to be worn with them so that you can't see through the dress, but this was expected. (I've purchased from other catalogues and the quality of online clothing versus brick and mortar stores is definitely cheaper). I ordered the items on the 23rd and received them on the 31st. With the expectations that I had of the site, all in all I'm pleased and do intend to buy from them again soon.
