I also bought my dress without reading the reviews, and when I did read them I was scared. However, it's probably not going to be as bad as what the angry reviewers are saying. These dresses ship from China, and speaking as a Chinese person who used to live there, what usually happens is that they take the picture on the website as a reference and do their best to make it look like that. So, it's not going to look EXACTLY like the picture, but it will not be too far from it. The quality is not great but not terrible--after all, you're spending less than $200 on this dress so what do you expect? I entered my measurements but I'm going to have to get my dress tailored. I'm happy with how it looks though, knowing that I'll have no problem getting it altered to fit me :)
