I just received my dress in the mail on Monday and let me tell you I was not disappointed in the look and workmanship of the dress. It is beautiful. I did not have my dress custom made because the measurements on the website were exactly my dimensions with the exception of the length so I figured that I would have to have the hem shortened post-purchase. When I tried the dress on it fit like a glove in all of the measurements that were listed on the website. My only complaint is in the amount of fabric that is in the shoulders. I would say that there is an excess of maybe 4 inches on each shoulder. When the dress is on, the shoulder part comes almost up to me jawline!
