I bought a very pretty dress from Formal Dress Shops for my daughter's wedding. Within the first hour of wearing the dress it started to unravel in one area. (The dress was beaded) it was embarrassing and strings were hanging from it. Nothing I did caused this whatsoever it was a poorly made garment at least in that area. The company's policy is no refunds after 30 days. I have purchased the dress over two months before wearing it because it was for my daughter's wedding. I filled to the company explaining than I thought they would be interested in knowing that I had this kind of an issue with one of their products, however, my request was probably dismissed and I never heard back from them. I will never shop dress shops again! Nor would I suggest that anyone else do!
