“The dress really does exceed one's expectations”

The dress really does exceed one's expectations. The fabric is of very good quality. I enjoyed a lot wearing it. Also, the customer support team was of great help with all my queries.

“This is a scam website; these people sell cheap Chinese...”

This is a scam website; these people sell cheap Chinese made junk of poor quality and then they refuse to exchange or refund by return. Stay away from this site if you value your hard earned money. These people are crooks plain and simple and you will get ripped off. My wife was heartbroken that the dress she ordered came in 2 sizes too small and they refused to do anything about it.

I ordered a dress from this site and overall it was not a great experience. The customer service jerked me around and it was difficult to get a straight answer. I was told my dress would be delivered before my event but it actually came the next day. If that was not enough the dress is unwearable because the straps are too short so the waist line hits where my breasts are. Other then that the dress looks great but is still completely unusable.

The dress arrived well within time and did look like the picture. I asked my daughter to try it on and it fitted ok, if the bodice was a little tight. She complained that the dress hurt under the arms. On closer inspection I found that the seams had not been trimmed and the binding was full of fabric. Being a sewer, I cut open the binding, cut the excess fabric and restitched the seams. Again, my daughter put the dress on (which we had purchased for her to wear at concerts when she plays the violin. I asked her to try playing wearing it and less than halfway through her piece she stopped and complained that it was hurting. She had rashes under each arm where there was a hard lump of fabric rubbing her skin. Back to the drawing board, I took the sleeves out and opened up the bodice to find that no excess fabric had been trimmed inside the bodice (I cut out heaps of excess) and at the top of the bodice, there was so much fabric in the underarm seam that it caused there to be a hard lump of fabric. I was unable to reattach the sleeves as there was insufficient fabric to make useable sleeves.
Once I had removed all excess fabric and restitched the bodice and lining, the dress fitted better in the bodice (because of how much fabric had been removed) and she now has a very pretty sleeveless concert dress. It was quite a lot of work to fix as a result of corner cutting in the dressmaking. Would I order from them again - I would be very hesitant.
The order process was very professional as was the tracking and delivery. Once pressed, the dress did look very like the picture.

I just ordered a formal for my daughter's banquet within a 29 day timeframe. I paid extra to get it made within 29 days versus 30 days. My daughter's sizes are between a size 2 and 4 so I knew if I custom ordered it I would not have to get a dress altered if I purchased off the rack and what a great way to get a dress made to her specifications. Well - the top half of the dress looked perfect. It was made well but it looks like they gave scissors to a kindergarten child for the bottom. The hem was 19 inches on one side and 22 inches in the middle and 20 on the other side. They sewed the lining to the satin skirt and the lining was bigger than the skirt so it was bunched up and pinched in places. My daughter was devastated. Luckily, I have a mother-in-law who knows how to sew. I should have had her make the dress to begin with because she had to correct all their mistakes. It would have cost me $50 in additional alterations to correct all the mistakes they made. I honestly wonder if they have a child sweat shop. I feel sick just thinking of the working conditions that might be there. You can tell that there are parts of this dress that were made really well but it is not worth the money to correct all the mistakes and not worth the stress.
