I saw a review of a girl wearing this dress and it looked beautiful.I received the dress expecting a lot, which I know I should never set my expectations.I custom ordered the dress, the shoulders were too big and the sleeves looked way baggy. ALL but 3 buttons had fallen off and the belt was not even half attached. The day I got it I took it to my grandmother to see what she could fix of it because I was just pretty upset.The top is still wrinkled and can see the boob paddings in it and cannot get the wrinkles out. The tulle seems to be “sticky” and doesn’t really let the bottom of the Lacey area flow. There’s a seam about two inches from the bottom that sticks out (eye sore style).My breasts are pretty much saggy from having children and will have to wear some type of additional padding like a bra because the padding in the dress does not help them stay up.Also, this is not a dress where you are able to lift your arms up very high!Perfect, perfect, PERFECT!!! I've probably only ever left one review in my life because I dont like taking the time so believe me when I say - THIS DRESS IS AMAZING. I took a huge risk buying my dress off Amazon and it was worth it. The dress is good quality, came on time, and I was able to message the seller throughout the entire process. I couldn't believe it was real. The top is sturdy woth just the right amount of shine. There's also plenty of padding. The bottom is sheer, shiny, and had plenty of length. It also has a ton of poof. More than the photos on the listing. (I had my seamstress remove both layers of tule under the lace for a less poofy look).Here are my tips for buying this:1.) Get it a size bigger than you'd normally do and then have a seamstress fit it to you. I did the custom sizing, and they did a great job, but I still needed the shoulders readjusted and I had just enough room in the waist to make it work. Basically error on the side of caution.2.) Remove the waistband and sheer fabric on neckline. It made everything look clean and streamlined. Your seamstress could do it or you could do it yourself (I just did it myself). And it still gives plenty of cleavage coverage. Probably even for a bustier girl than me.3.) Get the sleeves shaped into a slight point and the buttons moved to underneath your arm (they come on the side). It's not difficult. I included a pic.4.) Attach a clear piece of elastic across the back (over your shoulder blades) to keep the sleeves up. Because of the cut, the sleeves naturally want to slip down. It wouldn't be the end of the world - they don't slide totally off- but I knew I'd be adjusting it all day if they moved. So I stitched clear elastic band across the back and you couldn't see it.If it's what you've been looking for and you think it's too good to be true, it's not! BUY THIS DRESS!!!LOVED MY DRESS! i only had 6 months to plan my wedding, and dress shopping with my work schedule was just not feasible, for less than $200 I decided to take my chances and buy this dress. It checked off all my boxes … buttons down the back a long train AND it was COMPLETELY MODEST, this was a major factor for me due to religious beliefs and the seller was so helpful! Oh an did I mention the best part?? IT HAD POCKETTTTTSSSSSSSSS!!!Buying a wedding dress on Amazon can be a little scary, but this was actually a really good experience. The seller is insanely responsive and they truly do care about your experience. This dress ended up not being the one I’ll wear on my wedding day but I still recommend it if you are looking for a beautiful dress on a budget. They do make it to your dimensions, but I would still have needed a few alterations to make it perfect- sleeves tightened down on forearms, shoulders brought up a little for arm mobility etc but over all for the price this is a bargain. The material alone makes it worth it, just be prepared to make some adjustments since they are trusting your measurements and most of us are seamstresses ?I absolutely LOVE this dress! it fits almost perfectly! the shoulders are a bit big but every dress i buy is like that lol! it’s well made and it isn’t heavy! i wish it had a better zipper but after putting a little wax on it, it is doing just fine!I am in love with this dress unfortunately the arms run tight and I will not be able to wear the dress because I wouldn’t be able to move all night. They’re extremely responsive they even altered the backing of the dress for a small up charge but made it exactly how I wanted it! Everything else fit fine besides the arms and it could be completely because I got a closed back that made it tighter and harder to move my arms! Looks EXACTLY like the photo if not better than expected!The dress is beautiful, not heavy weight, texture is fantastic,… but the wedding was canceled and I returned the dress. The message here says that they refunded the money on June 28 but on my bank account I see no refunds. So, where’s my refund????Beautiful! The seller was so helpful and made the process so smooth. Thank you!!
