“Got many compliments on my dress.”

Gregory C.
3/2/24

Got many compliments on my dress. Felt so confidence all night long. Had to get some alterations done. The bust area and the split had too much fabric, making it hard to see the split, but overall it was beautiful. Plus, the customer support was very responsive.

“Dress afford Ruined my wedding”

Gabrielle C.
2/25/24

I see now I'm not the only one who didn't receive their order on time and then got ghosted after trying to ask Alex where my order is. Now that I spent my money on the order I won't receive in time for my wedding, I don't have enough money or time to get another option. I am going to my bank Monday morning and contacting the fraud department for my money back. This company hands down ruined my wedding and you can't trust them! If I could give them -6 stars I would

I loved my dress. I wanted something with modest sleeves and found it here. No one believed it was from an unknown site/brand. The lace-up back was nice because it made the fit more flexible. I also got my veil and headpieces from this site to complete my wedding look.

Great value for $$$ and beyond my expectations. The material, seams, and the cut are good. Took the measurements by a professional lady then ordered a customized dress. It worked perfectly!

Searched online for a budget dress for my elopement for nearly two months. Nothing I liked on bridal websites fitted my budget, so tried pinterest and found this site. Got a size 20 Wide and customized it. The delivery was fast and as expected. For all the plus-size brides-to-be out there, try this dress - it fit all my curves perfectly!

As a photographer, I usually buy dress for my clients online. The one I ordered has a lace-up back for a good fit for different sizes. The quality is better than I thought. And it has pockets! Great for wearing at events. Highly recommended.

I am a person with PTSD and it was difficult for me to shop online. Emailed the support team almost twice a day for nearly 25 days. They replied quickly and were being polite. Ordered a custom size, and it fit perfectly. Great customer service!

I am sorry for any trouble this may have caused you. We sent automated emails to our customers on Jan 26th to explain the delay due to the New Year holiday here in China. Our tailoring team expedited your order after they returned from their holiday. And your order was shipped out via FedEx with tracking 775303750215. Sorry to keep you waiting. Have a great day!

Overall, I would recommend the dress I purchased to others. The color (dusty blue) is about one shade darker than the listed picture. The dress runs a little bit smaller (as mentioned in many other reviews) so I join many others and suggest that you order one size larger. While it's nice that you can customize the dress using extra layers, I feel like the dress feels heavy overall and wish there were no extra layers (not that they add too much weight).

I ordered a dress for my son's wedding. The dress I ordered was fitted with a bateau neckline, 3/4 length sleeve and a sash. What I got was a dress with a gathered waistline and NO SASH - completely hideous and unflattering. To return it overseas would cost 1/2 of the dress amount and months before a refund would be issued. I had no idea the company was based in China.

Hi Amy, Have you found the sash wrapped inside the package? We are sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with our product. Since it is now up to Paypal to decide what to do next, we will wait to see and are willing to work with you to resolve the issue in short notice. Have a great day!

When I ordered my dress (4/2) the estimated arrival date was 4/24. I reached out on 4/24 to get an update and Alex told me it would be "ready for shipment by the beginning of May." Shipping takes anywhere from 8-20 business days, so I will not have time to get any alterations if necessary. I told Alex to cancel the order and he said to note that the dresses are made from scratch and that they would try to have it shipped out by the end of April. I understand how the operation works… they have not begun my order. Note that in the purchase order it states to let them know if the order needs canceled because of the tailoring process and not being able to recycle materials. We Know they aren't spending more than a day or two on these dresses or else we would be paying more for them. The only appropriate action for Alex to take here is to cancel my order and refund me. I will be making a fraud claim with my bank.

To all brides on a budget - you are better off putting your $$ towards a slightly more expensive dress. Still White is a great site with some affordable options. Avoid the dressmaker operations like DressAfford.

Was nervous about buying such an important dress online, but couldn't find anything I loved locally. So, I took a chance! The dress was beautiful! It was high quality, sizing was accurate (used their measuring guide). Just ask them any questions, click, and buy!

For my last-minute wedding dress shopping, it was not bad at all! The wedding photos were taken pre-alteration cause I had no time for it. After the alteraton, my family thought I spent hundreds or even thousands on this dress! Lol.

Ordered for first time and can't wait to get the dress. Will update rating once I get the dress. Hoping it's identical to picture but we will see.

So far haven't heard any update since I ordered the dress on 24 Mar so will post an update on time delivery and quality of dress. Hoping to receive it soon for 30 Apr event so let's hope paying to expedite shipping is worth it.

Here's a picture of the catalog picture so when I get the dress I post what the actual dress looks like.

Bought a dress and it was well-made, with the right amount of sequins for shine but not tacky, and it fitted well. Shipping took much longer than had expected, and they used a FedEx bag instead of a box. But I had to admit that it is a beautiful gown for an amazing price.

After shopping at all the major department stores, I Purchased one at Neiman Marcus ($900) but wasn't happy with the fit. I was skeptical about buying a dress from this company; I was afraid the fabric would be cheap and the workmanship shoddy because of the price. Was I surprised! The dress looked exactly like the picture, great workmanship and the beading work is beautiful! Received it Quickly. I saved $700 buying a dress from this company! Thank you!

Paid $240ish canadian on a lace wedding dress. The straps looked like they would break at any moment, the material felt like plastic and I could barely move in the dress. The refund process is sketchy and also expensive compared to the cost of the dress.
Look on facebook marketplace if you're on a budget, these dresses get sent to you from china and are not the same quality thats in the photos on their website.

Hey Courney,
Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you. That customers pay for return shipping is very common for most overseas international companies. We know
That some of the domestic US/CA online sellers are willing to provide prepaid shipping labels. Unfortunately, it is not the same case for us. The shipping rates from the US/CA to our return facility in China were relatively low before COVID but they are insanely high. This is not expected and this is not our fault. Thank you for your understanding. Therefore some of our customers suggested a donation-and-refund program which you may take advantage of. Have a great day!

This gown is beautiful. But it was not silky satin as it was shown online, which was expected. It's nearly impossible to put it on alone, but it's great with help. It's a steal for the cost!

I am a bridesmaid in my friends wedding and this website is the route she decided to go. She wanted a navy blue, long lacey type of dress and I received a hideous purple childrens looking dress. So I emailed them (about a month ago) and STILL nothing has been fixed. Even though I've sent pictures of the dress I received and he reiterated the dress I ordered, it was enough proof to send the correct dress or get a refund. My friends wedding is in May and I can't afford another dress. If I could leave a review with 0 stars I would.

Tip for consumers:
Don’t use this site

We visited a local dress shop to try on different sizes, styles & colors and then ordered online. I was very nervous reading negative reviews, but the custom dress we received is beautifully made & fits nicely. Saved a little money & found a modest prom dress.

Tip for consumers:
They set a reasonable expectation for the time it would take to receive my order. I sent a follow up email to check on progress and the company responded, and a few days later were able to quickly ship my purchase. Overall pleased with my experience.

This website will not respond to a defective item we received over a week ago! To process a return on time. The dress fits very poorly and looks completely different then the one picture available online! If anyone knows how else to contact them besides email and "online chat" (that's just a bot) please let me know. I'm desperate.

I love my dress, it was custom-made with measurements I provided. Fits perfectly and looks exactly as the one on the photo. Special thanks goes to Josh and Vivian who did a wonderful job in replying asap to my inquiries and making sure I get the dress on time, even during their busy season. All in all, I fully recommend DressAfford, they do amazing job!
