“Great dress, fantastic value!”

Micaeli A.

The dress quality is great for the price and it doesn't look like it came from far away. I did custom measurements and I took them bigger with the intention of needing a tailor because since I have never used the custom measurements option I wanted to be super safe. The dress came a week earlier than expected which got me so excited and the color was beautiful just like shown online. Buy the dress if you're thinking about it because you save yourself so much money!

“Not at all what we ordered and they refuse to refund”

Annabel G.

Very Very poor. We ordered a dress for my daughter's formal and when it arrived, it looked nothing like the picture. The dress supplied was the wrong colour, and despite their policy of refund for wrong colour, they refused to honour. It was a very pale copy of the dress on their website: on the website, an elegant, flowy ROSE gold dress. What we received, heavy cheap looking gold dress. Look at the photos, they speak for themselves! Never order from that site! We lost 165$

After taking some rough measurements, I ordered this dress (somewhat nervously) and waited for it to arrive. The dress came in a package and when I unwrapped it, I was astounded to see it was pretty close to perfect albeit a bit crumpled. Good stitching, heavy fabric and it fit perfectly. I can't believe how positive an experience this has been shopping here and it will not be the last time. I shall recommend this site to any friends wanting formal or party dresses. I am very impressed.

The dress arrived in Australia after only 24 days from the booking. This looks exactly like in the picture and the fabric is smart and fits very well, it is also extremely comfortable. Finally I would also like to compliment the service of immediate response that occurs in the case of requests, I had some problems with the payment but was soon found an appropriate and satisfying solution. It was my first experience with this amazing site, but I feel I will become a regular customer of this site.

This dress is absolutely beautiful! My daughter loves it. The quality and overall look of the dress is better than we ever expected! The fabric underskirt is so pretty and adds such a unique touch to the skirt. The beaded bodice is so elegant and just lovely. Shipping was very fast and it arrived well before the date we requested. Highly recommend MillyBridal and the dress!

Hi, this is the first time I have ordered anything from you and I am very pleased. I ordered custom sizing because I am over 6 feet tall and also needed some other modifications according to your size chart, but I was a little nervous about how it would fit. The quality is good and I couldn't be more pleased with the fit and look of the dress I was also pleasantly surprised at how quickly it came. I would definitely order from you again. Thank you.

I was really nervous when I ordered this dress because I had read a lot of online reviews saying not to order from this website because the dresses never came as they looked online. However, once I received the package I was beyond amazed with the dress. It is exactly as seen online, it fits true to size and the color is vibrant. The quality of the dress is amazing as well. Overall, I am beyond impressed and would definitely recommend this to purchase for prom or another formal event.

I would just like to thank you so much to the team at FormalDressAustralia for my beautiful dress! I felt like an absolute queen and got so many compliments on the night. The dress fitted absolutely perfect on my chest, waist and body altogether (I sent in my own measurements as i struggle with sizing). I have never loved a dress more in my life and will definitely being wearing it again and again, as well as coming back again again! Thank you so much xxx

The dress fits very well and is so well made. The top is modest. I loved that we could request a length and it was made for my daughter's measurements. It has built in bra cups which is great. The color is just as depicted on the screen.The dress arrived far before the estimated ship date. I would order from this company again.

The dress arrived after three-and a half weeks, and I was very pleased with it. The colour - royal blue - was very nice, and it was a very good fit. It was a good idea to pay the small supplement to have it tailor-made. Luckily it was easy to find some accessories. It would also be a good idea to sell some options for such accessories on your website. Another idea: it would be nice if there was a wider choice in fabric available - for a supplement of course.

My experience with Formaldressaustralia was truly fantastic. They made sure my order was packaged and ready to be shipped before my order was even done processing so that there was no delay when it finally processed. It was obvious they wanted my business and did a great a job of showing me that with their great customer service! My order was shipped to me very quickly. It's no wonder that I will definitely be using them again when I plan for future purchases!

My daughter fell in love with the picture and we were not disappointed. The dress looked beautiful on her. For the money the dress was worth it! Even though we sent in her exact measurements the dress ran a little big. Having never worn strapless before we had a strap sewn on and my daughter felt comfortable and confident all night. Would definitely order again!

I am extremely pleased with my purchase. Totally satisfied from the very beginning. The accuracy of the ordering process, the tracking as well as the the delivery and the actual receipt of my order were outstanding. I knew that because of the indicated length, I would need the dress cut and hemmed. The hemming was the only alteration needed. The color and fit are perfect. I will continue to use this online company.

I was afraid to order on this site until the last moment, but then I decided to take a chance and didn't regret. The dress is sewn qualitatively, good fabric and nice color. I'm pretty tall, so the dress was sewn by special measures and sat on me perfectly. The order came very quickly. I'm absolutely satisfied and will advise this site to all friends.

OMG... this dress is stunning! First time ordering and I am thrilled! Packaged beautifully! Cannot believe the details... even has a "bra strap" to add to the fit! Zipper is a little tough at the waist to get up, but no other issues! I cannot believe the quality! Measurements for length were tricky and I suggest barefoot, as they add length for heels. This is my only concern and I hope I can find tall comfortable heels to get this off the floor! I cannot say enough about this dress... will definitely order again.

I ordered three formals from you last month and they came faster than I thought and fit perfectly had yu custom fit them. I just now placed an order for two more formals for my sister, custom fit and I've got two friends that have just ordered two formals from yu. I would tell anyone looking for a beautiful well made dress to look at ordering from you. Thank you so much and I will be ordering from you in the future.

I'm in the blue but I would just like to say I was extremely nervous before my formal, I was wondering about how my dress was going to look and fit when it came in, I patiently waited because I had never ordered something this big offline but when it came in I tried it on I was just blown away with the dress but I was still so scared but formal rolled around and I put that dress on and felt beautiful! Thank you so much for custom making my dress and getting it to me before my formal. My night was amazing!

I am so happy I chose this Formaldressaustralia dress for my formal. I highly recommend paying a bit extra and getting the dress custom made - mine arrived and fit me perfectly. The material is very high quality and I was very impressed with how well made the dress was (especially given the amazing price). Thank you so much - I couldn't have been happier with my beautiful purchase!

I went to formal in early time, and I am just getting around to writing a review; I told myself that I would write one if I got the right result. I was scared to order my formal dress online, especially since I saw a lot of mixed reviews about this site. But I was running out of time and decided to give it a shot, and I am so glad I did. My dress was beautiful and inexpensive; it was perfect! I loved my dress. It even came earlier than expected and exceeded my expectations, thank you Formaldressaustralia.com!

This dress was perfect! I was concerned about the dress, particularly the embellishment not looking the was a pictured. I was more then I expected. I have recommended this site to many people as they are in need of formal dress on an annual basis. Also, when I initially ordered the dress there was a discrepency with my custom order measurements. They contacted me immediately via email and I thought that that would delay my order and that I would not get my dress in time for my event. It did not delay it at all.

Bought my daughter's ball dress. Quite hesitant to buy online. The gown arrived today and it fits perfectly... This is my second purchase with Formaldressaustralia and I am 100% satisfied. They definitely exceeded my expectations. From now on, all our formal gowns will be exclusively made by you. Thank you so much.

As soon as I started looking at dresses I knew if I bought one I would post a picture. Being a plus size it is really hard to know what a dress is going to look like when worn by a big girl. This is unaltered and unironed size 18W. The frill is really quite large and initally intimidating I am going to wear it to a party in a few weeks and I'm sure it will turn more than a few conservative heads! The dress is very comfortable and well made. Thank you Formaldressaustralia.com!

I received my dress 3 weeks after I placed the order. The quality is great, the color was beautiful! I usually wear size 10 but ordered size 12 and the fit was perfect. My mother had to trim the length but that was all. Got many compliments at the formal party. Couldn't be any happier with my purchase. Will recommend and order more dresses for future events from Formaldressaustralia! Thank you very much.

After reading the reviews, I decided to order my dress first before ordering the dresses for my friends. I just received the dress last week and it is absolutely beautiful! I ordered the color as in the photo and it was spot on. The construction and the quality of the material far exceeded by expectations. Also, Formaldressaustralia is fantastic. She responded to my questions quickly and provided me with suggestions on how to customize the dress to make it a bit more age appropriate for my friends. I highly recommend making this purchase!

I bought the dress for my daughters semi formal this year, and it was everything we expected! The dress took around 2-3 weeks to come in. We opened it up to find that the dress was 100% what it looked like on the website. The color was beautiful, and the quality of the dress itself was amazing. We ordered a size 8 for her, and were worried it would be a little big. I would suggest looking at the dimensions before you order it, if you don't order custom sizing. It fits extremely true to size. Thank you Formaldressaustralia! We will definitely be back!
