Let me first say, I am not a person who usually writes reviews. In fact, I don't think I've written one in several years. But I felt I HAD to write a review for this product. I was VERY scared to order such an important item online. Due to the price, however, I thought I would take a chance and see what happened -- if it was just awful, I could just resell the thing on eBay or something and go another route. So, I found this dress that I thought looked very pretty and had my mom measure me. Then I put in the order with a note that I did not want a train, and I did not want two inches added to the length for heels since I would be wearing flats. I figured this would all get messed up somewhere along the process and I would have to do some more altering when it showed up, if I even liked the dang thing.
After I submitted the order, the very next morning I got a nice note saying they understood about not adding two inches and they would not do it. The note also mentioned that I just needed to pay $15 to have the train removed. No big deal. I paid the 15 bucks, and I immediately got a note saying thanks for the payment, the train would be removed.
I sort of forgot about it, then I got an email saying my dress had been shipped about a week later. I was shocked that they were able to get it done so quick. I really got scared at that point. A few days later I got home, and there was a small box on the porch. I opened it up, and there was my dress in a see through plastic bag, about the size of a pillow. My immediate reaction was extreme disappointment. It looked cheap, and I could see the seams -- this looked nothing like the dress online! Then I opened the bag and saw that -- stupid me -- they sent it wrong side out, I guess to avoid stains and wrinkling. So the seams and things I saw were the inner construction of the dress.
I turned it right side out and I have to say, I thought the thing looked awesome. It definitely looked WAY more expensive than the price paid. I'm not some fashionista or anything, but I thought it looked more like an 800 dollar dress than a 300 dollar dress. Very elegant and well put together.
I got brave and put it on. I was shocked. Not ONE THING needed to be altered. It fit like a GLOVE. Everything was exactly as it should be. It looked AWESOME. I simply couldn't believe it. I mean, not one alteration was needed.
I'm writing this in case you are skittish like I was about ordering online. These people are timely, good, cheap and deliver on time. I would order anything from these people with no hesitation whatsoever. I can't recommend them enough, especially for brides with '';beer budgets and champagne taste.''; :)
