I ordered a bridesmaid dress, chosen by the bride. Had issues with one credit card telling me its a scam. Used another and the order went thru. I was really, really very skeptical and thought i have wasted my money and even exposed myself to fraud. But went ahead with it because the bride wanted me to wear that dress. So when the dress arrived (shipped dhl express, a day after it was estimated but nbd) i was afraid to open the package... well, the dress was spectacular! And to my utter shock and surprise, amazingly well made! The finishing details really surprised me - the bottom is in 3 layers and the lining and under lining are stitched together so you cant see the 'guts' of the dress from inside or out, the inside is seamless (like if you turned it inside out it looks like a proper dress too, it was shipped inside out and at first i was like where the hell are the embellishments lol!), boning is nicely placed and sewn in, the beads/sparkles are individually stitched, the hem and all stitches are even. It just totally floored me on the quality of workmanship. I was prepared for poor quality and even discussed alternatives for a local dress with the bride as a back up if this came horrible. But it didnt - its amazing! My measurements were correct so it it fits well. The only alteration i may have to have done is on the straps which are a little to loose (thru no fault of theirs - i have sloped shoulders).

Finally - i am not a paid reviewer and my review was not solicited. I am a just real person who ordered a dress from them :) i decided to write a review because i saw so many bad ones and expected the worse but got great instead. I would guess that the bad reviews may be coming from dresses that are not their standard models. Like on their site you can see 1000s of dresses and some pictures look like they were taken professionally, other like they came from twitter or something. The picture of my dress was professional. Maybe they have the others as dresses that they are willing to make but are not their models or standard or something. Like ideas for dresses... and if someone orders maybe they just make the dress based on the photo. I dont know for sure, just guessing. The one negative i have from the experience was the difficulty in communicating. Before i ordered, i asked a bunch of questions in an email and they answered only a couple. I took a personal risk anyway, and lived to be happily surprised! Im not saying everyone should take the same risk, just sharing my experience.
