Just order a dress from China
I received my dress today. Let's start with this:
It is THREE sizes too small despite me giving my exact measurements at time of ordering - which were taken by a professional seamstress. I received the dress in two and a half weeks - so my measurements wouldn't have changed by THREE dress sizes!
I had a very tight budget and saw this dress (style EC 247) on sale for 380 POUND (which is A LOT of money!). I bought it thinking it was coming from a reputable store because of the good communication through their Whatsapp - but then again, they know that. They put up the front of a genuine dress shop but they ARE NOT.
Today I received it in a cardboard box, taped with cheap tape, and a hole in the bottom of the box. No tissue paper, plastic, or anything protective on the dress.
The stitching is bad - the stitching holding the breast cups popped before I could even try the dress on - the zipper is not sewn down, there is no extra fabric for alterations. The fabric is CHEAP, like a knock-off product, which it is. The fabric and design, by the way, is NOTHING like it is in the photo. The photos they use definitely do not belong to them.
Trying on the dress, I stuck my arm through one of the loops and the lace TORE at the slightest TOUCH. The "built in bra" is just size A cups with four insignificant stitches on each. I am a size DD and that was included in my measurements.
This is NO different than the shops in China, who take high-end pictures of dresses, post them online, and then "re-create" them in their "shop" which may or may not be in the UK - because there was no such address on the shipping label of the box. I know they like to perpetuate that they are in the UK because it makes them SEEM trustworthy but I know that is not where the product is coming from.
Lastly, they are very selective and they do not allow reviews on their Facebook. You can clearly tell that the ones *supposedly* from customers are fabricated.
Now I have wasted time and money. My wedding is in 3 weeks and I have no gown and no money. I am an American working as a teacher in Romania. This dress cost about 1 month salary for me. My fiancee and I were trying to piece something memorable together - but there is no way I can do that with this comically bad "dress".
Edit: Had to dispute the charge through my bank. Company stopped replying after I told them I contacted the government and submitted a report for fraud. FYI: Within HOURS of me sending my last email to them mentioning this review, two "ghost" reviews showed up on here to boost this companies profile. Please be aware that the positive reviews are FAKE. So, instead of actually replying to NEGATIVE reviews, they choose to post fake ones and deny any responsibility.
In summary, if you're desperate for a cheap dress, buy from Alibaba or JJsHouse. At least then it MIGHT be of wearable quality. If you're not, please look around. There is no need to spend 1500+ euro on a SCAM.
