I wore this dress for my reception (i had another for the ceremony). I had so many comments from people saying how beautiful it was. I am 5'1 so I had to have quite a bit cut off the bottom but this didnt change the style at all. i also had to have the original straps removed as they were too broad for my shoulders. The postage time was only 3 weeeks and the packaging was fantastic. I am very happy with the dress it was beautiful! Hope this review helps other bride to bes out there.
