I did not send in custom measurements. Wish I had. The dress is way to long, and is a tight fit. Size runs small. I ordered one size to big for local alterations and it was still a tight fit. The overlay is beautiful embroidered design, but is real fragile - snags very easily on everything... and it is way to long to comfortably walk around in all afternoon at my wedding. The dress has three layers on the bottom and it keeps getting caught up on one another making it difficult to move. I will be ordering a different dress.. it is beautiful, good quality - just difficult to wear.
