I had really high expectations for this dress, and I was very disappointed. I had a tailor do my measurements and opted for a custom gown as it appeared I was slightly between sizes. That, and I’m short so I thought(Wrongly) that I could save some money on a hem. I sent my measurements to the seller and they responded promptly.I opted for rush shipping so I could get the dress in time for NYE. I got the dress way faster than I expected. Upon trying it on, I immediately discovered that the torso portion of the dress was waaaaay off. I’m 5’4” and that dress was made for someone who is much taller than me, and it looked terrible. It made me look bigger.Since it was custom and not returnable, I immediately took it to a tailor to try and salvage the situation since NYE is rapidly approaching and I was stuck with the dress. She was able to fix the dress by shortening the torso, but the top was also too big even after tightening the dress as far as it would go. To make matters worse, the dress boning down the front is inside the lining (the tailor was perplexed), and there is no boning whatsoever down the side. This was an issue for me because I have DDs.To fix the dress, I had to pay the tailor $95—almost as much as I paid for the dress which really really made me angry since I paid extra money for the dress to be “custom.”It’s a beautiful dress, but buyer beware, skip the “custom” and just get it tailored yourself if you have to have it. Be prepared for a large tailoring bill. The dress is hardly a bargain when you take all of this into account. I wouldn’t order it if I had a chance to do it over again.
