Hello ladies!

Like Jimi, I've had a fantastic experience with DT. I was scared to death about ordering my wedding dress on some website I NEVER heard of and there were no reviews anywhere to be found. But I did! I and in February, I got the most beautiful dress - absolutely what I always wanted.

The funny thing is that I already had an Oleg Cassini dress from Davids Bridal. I just never was able to even try on the Maggie Sottero Angela dress (the one I lusted after for years) because no one carried it! Then I found DT and crossed my fingers... and it worked out beautifully!

A few pros and cons of my experience:

- I'm 5'9 and the dress is about 4-5 inches too long (better too much than too little?)
- It doesn't have as much beading (random pearls and sparkles here and there), but that's okay! I wanted to add more beading anyway when I got it altered.
- The few times I've tried on the dress when no one is home watching, some of the beading has fallen off... =\
- It fits true to size, other than the length, and I plan on losing weight in the next 3 months, so I have to have it altered anyway.
- The corset is soooooo pretty, too. All my friends gush every time I show them. =)
- The main person who emails you, Shine, has VERY quick email responses.
- I don't get a commission for as much as I tell other women about the site, but I SHOULD damnit.

I freaked out when I got the tracking info (Shine sent it to me since I started freaking out at the end of 2 months and harassing him) because it said 2lbs. 2lbs for an entire wedding gown - yeah, no box, bubble wrap, etc. Just the dress, TIGHTLY packaged and then wrapped in blue (kinda stinky) tape. Hey, it worked and made the S&H cheap!

I JUST ordered my flower girl's dress in a light blue color, so we'll see how that turns out. I asked for it to come in a month. *crosses fingers* I figure its worth it since the dress is normally in the $200 range and DT sells it for about $80.

I'm honestly too scared to ask my bridesmaids to buy their dresses there... maybe its not worth it since the prices are pretty close?

Good luck to everyone! <3
