My dress turned out to be absolutely stunning! The quality far exceeded expectation! The beading was clearly done by hand. Also, my customizations were perfect and exactly what I wanted! My only thought/recommendation would be that when they say "white", they mean white. It worked for me, but it is a pretty stark white, so unless you are accenting it with a color, like I did, it might be TOO white. Totally depends on your taste and vision. If you have the time, request swatches. I can say, though, that the dress will come fitting absolutely perfect if you choose custom. And the ladies are awesome. I have no complaints about this company.
