“I received the dress today in black and it is absolutely...”

I received the dress today in black and it is absolutely stunning. I am a 16 w and 5ft 8 in tall. The length is very good and not short at all. I will wear it with the collar partly down. I purchased it to put in the wardrobe to wear to military balls. You simply can't buy something at this bargain price in Australia for my size that looks great. A big thank you, fabdress!

“Junky looking, cheap ugly dress. Refuses to even give me their address.”

The dress weighs a ton. Rhinestones are huge, ugly, and tacky looking. Have been trying to return it for a month. Today, they responded that they won't take it back without me sending pictures. The dress arrived stuffed into a too small plastic bag. I may donate it to the Goodwill. I was billed $192.00 USD and the receipt and tag on the dress both say $80.00. Turned them into my bank for fraud.

My dresses arrived after incredible frustration trying to communicate. One the wrong colour although they say it is correct. APRICOT IS NOT PINK! One dress fitted, one way too small. Manufacturer says ALL IS CORRECT! I believe I have just thrown money away, so hard to earn. Total disappointment for a wedding and not much time or money to find something to wear. STAY AWAY DON'T ORDER, AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT AND HEARTACHE!

Tip for consumers:
See what I got and the advertised coloured dress.

This dress is absolutely gorgeous! I ordered it 2 weeks ago and I am still waiting on it to come in. And hoping with everything in me that it will be as perfect as the picture or as perfect as the rest of the reviews say it is.

I would recommend all of my friends looking for a dress to this cite! Not only does the dress look EXACTLY like it does in the picture but it comes extremely fast! I was a little nervous about buying a dress I didn't try on, let alone having it tailored! But it was everything I asked for and more! My dress fits me perfectly! If you are look for a dress that's cheap but is still good quality you're looking at the right place! They are fast, efficient, and have great customer service! I will definitely be ordering off of here again!

Ordered a dress for My Daughters prom. Eventually arrived from China. Looks nothing like the pictures. Shorts sleeves when specification was long. Poor quality fabrics and paid extra for made to measure. Still does not fit. Charging top UK prices for low grade tat. Make complaining difficult. DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE!

I sent you an email and have had no response. I ordered a lovely pant suit in cream. When it arrived it was about 3 sizes to small. I would like to return this item. Please send me your address. So far no response.

I cannot believe this company is still in business, they are dreadful. As other customers have found, they are based in China, not the UK. I used them for my son's wedding a couple of years ago for bridemaids' dresses. The dresses were supposed to be tailor made. All measurements were sent correctly and all the dresses were at least two sizes too small when they arrived. Their terms and conditions state they will refund any costs for alterations made due to wrong sizing, but this does not happen. I ended up spending well over £100 on extra material and dressmakers costs for my daughter's dress and my dressmaker said she had never seen such a badly made dress in her career. I ended up after two months of stress and over 50 emails (you cannot phone) just receiving £48. PLEASE DO NOT EVER USE THIS COMPANY!

My dress wedding arrived unfinished, some of the stitching on the outside of the dress and stains all over it. They offered me £37 to take the dress elsewhere to get fixed however it is costing me £350 to get the dress to a standard so I can where it for my wedding.

Product fit like a dream. It was stunning from the picture, but when I put it on, it was even more breathtaking. I ordered this dress for our annual Navy Ball, and it was just picture perfect. I will definitely be purchasing from this company in the future.

If I could give the company a 0 I would. The dress I ordered was obviously the wrong size.
I ordered from their size chart and in various places on the back zipper it lacked anywhere from 2 1/2" to 3" closing and the bust from much too large on the left side which was strapless. The company said it was OK and I should keep and enjoy the dress. As the dress does not fit I will not be enjoying it. Please do not order from this company as they are based in China so there really is no recourse. Also they will charge 50% of the cost of the dress for restocking fees. I made the grave mistake of not checking out the reviews prior to ordering. I was pressed for time and just forgot. The cost to restock would cover the alterations I would have to have done. DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANT,

Do not send your hard earned money to these people! I recently purchased a prom dress from this company for my daughter. Firstly there is no mention on their website that the order is sent from China. You will soon discover that when a) your payment is processed and you end up paying far more than the invoice price in exchange fees and commission b) DHL contact you and tell you that you need to pay some more customs duties and taxes before they will deliver your item (£17.00 in my case) c) the item arrives far later than they tell you at the outset and there are countless delays d) the size of the finished article differs wildly from the measurements you give them e) the style is different from that you ordered f) the quality is shocking. From the outset you are lead to believe that you are ordering from the UK (the clue should be in the. co.uk web address) but that is clearly not the case. Once you enter into correspondence to attempt to rectify the situation you then realise that you are dealing with someone in another part of the world whose customer service skills are severely lacking. I could go on but I have already spent far too much time as a result of my unfortunate experience with this bunch. So please learn from my mistake and steer well clear!

I ordered 6 bridesmaid dresses from this site. Three of them, in standard sizes, didn't remotely fit. By way of example, the size 14 dress fit my size 8 bridesmaid! I was refused a refund after endless infuriating email exchanges. I was refused the right to raise a formal complaint and I was refused the right to speak to the manager of the company, who was evidently too busy. I therefore had to order another two dresses, this time paying extra for them to be custom made, this cost £130. Fabdress so very kindly gave me £17 by way of compensation. The two custom made dresses arrived, one is too big and the other too small, there are faults all over one of the dresses, it is puckered at the back and the two layers of the dress are totally different lengths - despite the dress being FAULTY I have once again been refused a refund - DO NOT USE THIS TERRIBLE COMPANY.

Nightmare! Do Not Use this site. It gives the impression of being a UK retailer, but the dress's (I use the term loosely) are shipped from China. I ordered a dress for my daughters Prom, ordered at least 8 weeks in advance (with a stated four week delivery). I chased, and chased and chased for the ETA, I was told that the dress failed their internal QA, which is why it was delayed. So, imagine my surprise/shock, when the dress arrived it was poorly made and was of the wrong material. We ordered a red dress with a see through chest/neckline - which they used red netting for! I eventually managed to contact them, they refused to send out a replacement dress (I sent them pictures to prove it was both wrong and poor quality) - I had to send the dress back at my cost (they had agreed to refund). The dress took 2 weeks to arrive in China, then it took over 2 months to receive a partial refund. DO NOT USE THESE CROOKS!

DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS UNTRUSTWORTHY WEBSITE! The dresses are certainly NOT tailor made. My dress came torn and covered in stains. After months of nagging them they eventually return the dress money but still refuse to pay the shipping fee for the return of the item. Also NO WHERE does it say on the website that these dresses are being shipped all the way from China! Where it actually says on the website that they are specially made and tailored in the UK. I am 16 and still incredibly upset by this as I had no dress to wear to my prom. Please if you are considering ordering a dress for a special event: DON'T! Because guaranteed you will be utterly disappointed!

Was in a time crunch and needed something quick. I ordered a tailored dress with exact measurements; as I'm tall with coke bottle figure. Customer service was great; however, when the dress arrived I couldn't get it over my hips which surprised me because I gave measurements. Dress seemed pretty but couldn't wear it. Too bad!
I think they are made for an Asian girl's frame.
