I was nervous about ordering a dress online, but after looking through the reviews and seeing pictures of real women wearing this dress, I decided to go for it. I'm so glad I did! I'm on a really tight budget for my wedding, but I wanted this style and when I saw this, I said "I really like this one". It was the first dress I tried on because, again, I'm on a budget and can't afford anything that is sold in our local dress stores, and I've decided to keep it!

I personally want to take it in just a smidge on the waist so I can cinch in it tighter, but it fits well as is. I am normally a medium (sometimes small) and I got a size 4. Follow the measuring instructions provided by the seller and you'll be just fine. I got the lace-up back btw. The lace is beautiful, the skirt is nice, and the bodice is very flattering. It is a great quality for the price.

I have a few minor complaints:
1. The arm bands are too big and even lacing them up all the way doesn't help. I'm gonna have to find a way to sew up the lace so that it fits my tiny arms lol
2. It is heavier than it appears in the photos. Even though our wedding is in October and the weather should be fairly mild, I am concerned that I'm going to sweat to death in it.
3. It smells pretty bad. I opened the package and it smelled as if it had been sitting in a musty warehouse for AGES. I think it will be fine if I hang it out to air for a while, but it was somewhat alarming when I opened it.

Overall, though, if you are considering trying this dress, just do it!

I have to say, the customer service and interaction with Lynn surpasses any other business.

Lynn listened to what I was looking for, sent me photos of the dimensions against the dress and did what she could to get it right.

Like most mentioned, it's a heavy dress but perfect for a fall, outdoor, country'ish wedding. Planning on wearing this with cowgirl boots.

I customized the sleeves and asked for a larger cup to accommodate my DD chest and adjustable straps.

You don't have to baby this dress, it holds it's own and the quality is very good. Once again, thank you!!

For reference, I weigh 153, 5'4, DD chest, wear a size 8 in jeans and ordered the following dimensions in inches:

Chest - 41 (DD cups)
Waist - 32
Hips - 39
Height - 57
Off shoulder sleeves - 15

I loved the dress. I sent in my measurements and they were very easy to work with. I had requested a bustle added and was not told that wasn't possible but the dress arrived without one. I ended up needing the sleeves shortened so just had a double bustle added by the seamstress. For a custom options dress, it shipped very fast. It's not too heavy and the lace isn't scratchy. The only thing I did not like was the built in bra. I wear a D cup and while there was enough room in the bust area, the cups were way to small. The bottom of the cup came up across the middle of my breast almost. I had to wear a strapless bra for support which wasn't a huge deal but the built in bra was a major reason I ordered the dress. The lace pattern hide the fact that the bra didn't sit right but be aware if you are bigger busted that might be an issue. I saw another review stating something similar happened. The seamstress said she would have to rip out the "bra" to fix it then the lace may not have lined up the same so I chose to just leave it.
I'm not sure if my measurements were off but we could not get the corset snugged up from my bra line down, it was as tight as we could get it but still kind of loose so didn't shape as well in the lower back. I should have taken and inch or so off my waist measurements since the corset back allows some give. I'm sure this was my error though.
For the price, the dress was amazing. I got a ton of compliments and the seamstress was very impressed by the quality the dress when I told her I got it from Amazon and the price.
I went barefoot, we were on the woods and it rained. We stood in a creek for photos and the dress was surprisingly not ruined by the end of our trip in to the woods. I was sitting on wet moss covered logs for photos also. It rained the entire time and the bottom was filthy. I hung it on the shower rod with the dirty bottom in the tub. I rinsed it off then filled the tub with hot water and oxy clean to let it soak. The dress almost looks new again. I'm pretty impressed it held up and cleaned up so well.

I am in love with this dress!! I found it, loved the look could not believe the price was so inexpensive and brought the dress shortly after. I did not purchase Amazon recommend size 10, I purchase my normal size which is a 12 and it fit my curvy body perfect. This dress is thick, amazing quality and just fits my body exactly as I had hoped. I did not take a picture as I need a few alterations. I need straps to keep the twins in place and need it altered as I am short and the dress is a little too long, besides my personal preferences of alterations the dress is perfect. We aren't getting married until end of 2024 so there are no updated wedding photos to show but I definitely recommend this dress. If you are doubtful don't be.. purchase Incase the price goes up.

I chose to do a custom dress and I LOVE it!!!

A few things to note: if you order a custom dress with a corset, I recommend giving slightly smaller measurements than what you are because the dress was made exactly to the measurements I provided meaning I need to have it taken in. I have the corset tightened as much as possible and it is not tight enough in my chest area. However, when I overlap the fabric, the fabric around my chest tightens how I need it.
Second is it's very long. The overlay lace is considerably longer than the slip and it does drag. I advised the seller not to adjust the length because I knew it was going to be long enough for me. I'm 5'10.5" so I'm a taller woman, if you're up to about 6'0" you won't need length added, but will certainly need it shortened if you're under 5'10" (unless wearing high heels)
With that being said, I requested a halter with a low back. I also requested I still get the arm bands as I read other reviews who had custom necklines didn't get the arm bands with their dress.
The seller was able to provide me with mock up photos prior to me ordering so I could envision the final product better.
My dress arrived earlier than the estimated shipping date. I ordered on 4/26 and it arrived 5/18.
The quality is excellent. It's pretty heavy and the material feels exactly how it looks in photos. I feel beautiful wearing it and I can't wait to get married! I will try to update photos once I have professional images, but until then it's mirror selfies so my fiancé doesn't see!
