I bought a mikado dress that was designed to have some folds in it along darts in the front and back, and is meant to have a bit of a flare to the skirt. There's a tulle underskirt and everything. But the dress was so awfully wrinkled when I got it, I couldn't tell whether it would look good on me or not. The creases from shipping were so terrible that even when I had it on, the skirt was pinched along those creases so that it stuck out a ton to the sides instead of hanging like a skirt should. The dress can take a cool iron, but a cool iron couldn't do much to the creases. Some of the worst of the creasing is right in between two places it's supposed to be folded and it's just impossible for me, a mere mortal, to iron that out without messing up the intentional creasing along the darts. Ultimately, it was just too much of a headache to try and fix so I'm returning it. I considered taking it to a dry cleaner, but I'm not sure they'd be able to do any better. And honestly, I just paid over $175 for this dress. I shouldn't have to pay someone else to get the stupid wrinkles out. I can't even tell if the dress would look nice right without them!

I'm surprised that such a well-thought-of company specializing in formal dresses did such a terrible job of shipping a formal dress. Now I know, only buy their stuff in an actual store.
