“Beautiful dress”

Carolyn S.
4/5/18

My dress arrived securely packaged & beautifully made. I was a bit worried about ordering from an online company, but after reading all the positive reviews I decided to go ahead, I ordered a custom made one. The dress arrived exactly the colour I ordered and it fits beautifully. I cant wait for my sons wedding to wear it. Thank you Joswen team.

“Miss matched color - unwearable - would not refund but a %”

I recommend that you Do Not order from this company. I ordered a custom dress for my son's wedding. One color, dark green. It came in 3 different colors, dark green body, Christmas green sher upper and celery green embellishments. The custom sizing was also wrong. The dress was returned, at my cost, because of the color issues. They refunded a portion keeping approximately $80 for "administrative fees". The dress was unwearable with the color combinations. The product was NOT what was presented in the catalog. They shipped a dress made of 3 different colors and refuse to reimbursement for the money paid, they have the dress and approx. $80. Plus I am out the shipping costs to send it back. (Their so called legal dept is snarky to deal with and use poor grammar with misspelled words.) I have reported them to the federal trade commission and other governing agencies.

Joswen.com was fast in resolving the issues I had with this amazing dress! I had a little problem with the size but they were so nice and helpful!

This dress is an incredibly well made dress! The picture of the model does not give this dress justice!

I received this dress in 2 weeks after ordering and i was very impressed! Online live chat is great! They answer back very fast and help you with any questions or concerns you have.

Thank you Melinda and Rach! You were so helpful!

Im so inlive with my wedding dress I literally cried when I put it on I had ordered it a size bigger than my original size just Incase its a bit big but I rather have it like that then to have it extra small! Detailing on the dress is perfect just as picture the height on the dress its longer than my height which is perfect... Im so happy with the services and I would recommend my brides to purchase their dress!

I have spent so many time to browse and look around at many online shops for choosing my dress. After I have considered and compared, I have decided to order one wedding dress and two veils from Joswen.com. The dress came in with a nice package and it is very beautiful in person and well made. I would say this is one of the best experience about online shopping that I ever have. I am thinking about making another order from this company. Thank you so much Joswen.com for your excellent services. I hope that my review could help those who are still skeptical about buying from this company to make their decisions. Wish the company could keep up with good work and delivery theirs best services to many more customers.

To be completely honest, I was hesitant about ordering my daughter's flower girl dress online but had heard positive reports about Joswen from others. The entire experience has definitely changed my mind! The communication with Joswen was nothing short of excellent! Every query I had was promptly replied to via email and the Joswen team were very particular in ensuring my measurements were correct (as the wedding isn't until the end of the year and I wanted to order a bigger dress to allow for growth). I was kept informed of the various stages and when I received the dress, I was extremely impressed with the quality. It has been beautifully made and the most important thing is is that my daughter absolutely loves it! Thank you for this experience!

Tip for consumers:
Don't hesitate to order from Joswen!

I have gotten several dresses from this company. Even though I thought I had the correct measurements, I did have to have some alterations made to my dresses. Other than that, I don't think I have had one of their own dresses completely made for me. It has always been components of other dresses that I have liked and they have done a splendid job on all of them. My favorite dress, even though the bodice was extremely huge on me and I did have extensive alterations made on it was a component of 4 or 5 dresses and it came out so beautiful for our 50th wedding anniversary that I almost cried it was so beautiful--even more so than my original wedding dress. I am now in the process of combining two other components for another dress using the same bodice as the anniversary dress with a different skirt and fabric, and I know that the whole staff will come out with a beautiful dress for me. It will be a combination of Tahiti Chiffon and Lavender lace and both Melinda and Echo have been nothing but patient with my hundreds of questions and suggestions. I will continue to purchase my dresses from this company as they have given me the best service and "friendship" with a company. Lol.

I was weary of ordering my wedding dress online after hearing so many horror stories so I done my research on various review sites the only company that had no bad reviews was joswen so I contacted them and received a speedy reply from Echo I sent her pictures of the tailor made customized dress I wanted and she said they could make it with exact embellishments etc I had quite a few questions before ordering eg measurements etc that she was only to happy to answer any was very quick in replying I ordered my dress and received it just two weeks later the moment of truth I opened it and cried it was exactly what I asked for and the quality was superb so if you are dubious about ordering online believe me this is where you want to order from! As I said I would give more than 5 stars if I could extremely happy with my dress and all for under 300.00 I even got a ten percent off coupon so the delivery was pretty much free... lastly I would like to say a special thank you to Echo who answered about a hundred questions lol and really put me at ease so ladies if you want the perfect dress for the perfect price this is where to order it!

The dress was bought for my daughter. She is really difficult to please but she loves the dress. It was made of chiffon fabric and it was really soft and of high quality. The color we chose was burgundy, which was gorgeous! We didn't try the custom size as her size matched the size 6 on their size chart (her normal size is US 2 so I think suggest you choose two sizes bigger or custom size when you use this website), the dress fitted almost perfect but we still had to get it taken out in the waist part, but it was easy to deal with. We will try custom size option next time. For the price and quality, I highly recommend this website.

We are a Wedding dress manufacturer for Ladies Event and special occasion wear.

Upon advising John that the dresses and size chart are designed and cut for women and don't typically suit a mans body shape when ordering a standard sizes, he was willing to proceed with his order and take a chance on a standard size ladies dress.

We have a tremendous support base of men who buy our dresses for pageants and special events, and under our suggestion, they all choose to select a custom size option for a little bit extra $$$ and the results have been nothing but perfect.

Unfortunately, John in this case decided the extra spend wasn't worth it and insisted on the standard ladies size to suit his male shaped and cut body.

Under consumer law, we can't deny John the product and this outcome is unfortunate but expected.

I have bought three times with Joswen Dresses and each time was successful. The first time I bought from them, I didn't know what size to choose as their size chart seemed different from the shops here. I sent an email to them and I received a response within 2 hours! It was really fast. They offered me free custom size option and told me how to take measurements. I took my measurements and 11 days later I received an email saying that my dress was sent out! I was so worried that the dress might end up a disaster. However, I was so amazed and so surprised when I tried my dress on. It fitted like a glove! I couldn't believe how fast and how accurate they made my dress! I am so happy that I have found Joswen.com and I would love to recommend this webstie to anyone I know. Big thank you to Joswen Team! Thank you! Thank you!

The first time I saw the reviews on their site, I doubted it. How could it be true that all your customers were so happy?! I thought the reviews must be fake! So I didn't place my order with them. I placed my order on a different website which turned out a disaster! They even didn't let me return the dresses! Then I came back to Joswen.com and I saw the same dresses with lower prices! I read their return policy first and I decided to give it a try this time. I was so worried and nervous when I was waiting for my order. Today the package came to my door and I was so scared to open the box. I opened it, oh boy, I was shocked, in a good way tho! The dresses looked so stunning, gorgeous! I couldn't wait and tried on my wedding dress. I couldn't stop crying. It was so perfect! It looked even better than the picture. Planning a wedding is so stressful for a bride but Joswen.com made mine painless and worry free! Thank you so much Joswen.com for such a great experience! My mum and my bridesmaids will try on their dresses next week and I believe there will be no issues at all! Now I can tell you, ladies, if you doubt it as I did, don't! This is a true company who knows the real customer service and their dresses are great. Don't be scared! Again, thank you Echo, Melinda and everyone who helped with my order. You guys are awesome!
