Not pleased
We’ll, after reading your guidelines for reviewers, this review may not stay posted long, but it is honest. I wear this dress only when I must because it fits very badly. It is made well, the fabric is nice, and the coat was reasonable. However I sent in my custom measurements, and received the dress in only a couple weeks. Normally that would be a good thing, but the dress fell off my shoulders so I had to alter it. The length drags on the floor, another alteration. The worst is that the bust makes it’s own shape and that is not in any way related to mine. It gaps in the chest just not so anyone can look down. I must wear it since 15 other women also bought the dress to be officers in an Eastern Star chapter. Most of us had to make alterations. One very thin woman got a dress that looks beautiful on her, but only after she had all of the cupping in the bustling removed. Before that, she could not zip it up. It is a shame to have used such nice materials to make such an I’ll fitting dress. BTW, I do not believe this company used my measurements at all to make this custom dress. There was simply not enough time to make it in China and ship it to me. I think they pulled a size off a rack hoping it would be close enough. One of our officers’ dresses fit so poorly that she had to order more fabric and completely change the back closure style from a zipper to a lace-up back. I wish I could’ve told of a happier experience. I will continue to wear this dress once every 2 weeks for meetings this year until June, then never again.
