I ordered it from China!
What could possibly go wrong?
About a month ago, my daughter was browsing dresses online and found one she liked...really liked.
The image on the website showed a lovely off-the-shoulder, A-line dress with elbow length sleeves....it really did look very, very nice indeed, and I could imagine it suiting her...so we ordered it.
( I know! I should know better
)
I searched online first for reviews about the company involved and was surprised to see people were either very happy with their dresses or absolutely disgusted...there weren't many inbetween...but of course, you never know whether they're real reviews or fake...so we nervously waited for the dress to arrive.
It is here!
Arrived this morning exactly when they said to expect it. My daughter is happy with it and I'm happy with how it's made.
I was never worried about the fit of the dress. My daughter's a funny size...( aren't we all?
)..and I know I can alter it and tweak it to fit. My only concern was if it was inferior, rubbish, cheap, tatty fabrics...and it's not.
Here's a sneaky look at the back...she'll be annoyed if she finds out I've put her on here.
As it is at the moment...I need to widen the sleeves...change the huge bust cups for some which are my daughters size...and shorten it, probably removing the train...(The seam at the waistline is tight too and I know the back's ruckled...I can sort it closer to the event)
All doable...but the Prom isn't until June, so I'm not going to worry about any of it yet.
It could have been a disaster, but we're happy with this....no problems for us.
Sandra.
