I rarely leave reviews because I don't have the time but I had to leave a review on here because I am blown away by my purchase. I purchased this dress for my engagement pictures. I didn't like how the mid portion of the dress looked so I purchased a 4'' wide silver ribbon online & wrapped it around myself to use as a belt. I couldn't be happier with how my engagement pictures turned out. The dress was a hit and I don't regret getting the dress- I would 100% buy it all over again! I purchased the dress on 3/29 & on 4/23 it arrived so be mindful they're making the dress to order, thus it'll take longer than usual to receive the dress. However, their customer service (via email) is extremely prompt in replying back and super helpful! They reached out to me as soon as I purchased the dress to verify the color, size, and the date I needed the dress by. I told them I needed the dress before 4/27 and they absolutely made sure I would receive it before that date. I'm 5'3 and 156 lbs. I ordered a size 10 which wouldn't have fit me if I had grained an additional pound- which is why I felt the need to buy the belt. the dress seems to be built to fit loose, not tight, & because it was so tight it was bunching up in the front- nothing the belt couldn't fix though! I don't regret it. I love how everything turned out. P.S. I did not go by the sizing instructions on the website. I simply went by my own dress size & hoped for the best! Also, the dress doesn't stretch :) Hopes this helps!
