Promising review: "So it definitely didn't match the photo, but I knew the expect that when I ordered since I read a lot of reviews and it was pretty close. I still really liked the dress and ordered it for a last minute bridal shoot. It fit the model exactly and didn't need dress clamps or anything. I like that you don't need a bra with it and loved the back sheer lace with buttons. The lace is a little stiff and cheaper looking than what is pictured, but you can't tell in photos so that's why I didn't mind." —Michelle

Promising review: "I got this dress to see for myself how the quality was and how it fit before I committed to buying more for my bridesmaids. It is absolutely stunning! The belt is a bit loose and there are some loose strands, but it is absolutely gorgeous!

Promising review: "It's a bit different than the picture, as the front is all the same length. It's slightly bigger than what I expected but the seller was great. They asked me for my size, which I provided and they custom made it. But it still came out a bit larger than what I wanted/expected, which may be because for my size, I'm more of an athletic fit. But it looks great and I'm using it for my wedding. I ordered the medium but gave them the exact sizing so I do recommend doing that. Also, it has a built in bra, but I removed that." —Kaie
