I called Darius Cordell back in January. Everything sounded good so I started my order. Sent in the order form and measurements and the deposit. Didn't hear back from them for a while. So I called to check how things were going. It had only been a month but I still checked. They told me to be patient and wait until the 6 months was up. So I did and in about 4 months they emailed and said the dress was about to be done. I paid my balance and then didn't hear anything else. About a month later my dress arrived. It was perfect. I was nervous but I am glad I went with Darius Cordell. I got the dress I wanted for about ΒΌ of what the original was going to cost. Win- Win.
