Please save yourself the headache and do not buy a dress from here...
I ordered a beautiful white lace dress that was supposed to be for my wedding, when it finally arrived it was far below what I expected.
First of all, threads were hanging off it, it was dirty in one spot, the fabric was glossy white while I wanted an ivory dress with a matte finish.
I ordered it 'custom made' so exactly according to my measurements. With much effort and my partner to help we could just do the zipper up, but I was barely able to breathe, I could not sit or lift my arms. The fabric was so stiff it would not stretch a millimeter. Worst of all, the dress on the picture had a beautiful wide piece of lace on top, which gave it an awesome 'bare skin' effect and it was an off the shoulder fit, which indeed made it look sensational. In reality, the piece of lace on top was only a few centimetres wide and had none of the effect from the picture, also the dress did not give justice to my shape at all - it was all a very straight fit even though the picture indicated that the dress would follow your natural lines nicely.
In conclusion; the dress that I so adored in the picture was in reality a cheap replica, very poorly sewn with cheap fabric and a terrible fit - no way I was ever going to wear that for my wedding.
I doubt that I will get a refund; they argue that they tailored the dress to my measurements and therefore did nothing wrong - the fact that I can barely move while wearing it does not seem to matter, neither the fact that it looks nothing like the picture.
Save yourself the trouble and do not shop here. I thought it was an Australian company but the dresses are made in a cheap Chinese factory. I have found a great replacement dress that is way better quality AND lower price so obviously there are good options for us that get married on a budget too, just don't make the same mistake I did and fall for a cheap wedding dress online - you will be disappointed.
