I was so thrilled to get this dress and absolutely love it. I wasn't sure what to expect as I was ordering something I'd not seen in person yet, but I've been shopping online and on Amazon for over 10 years so after seeing the reviews I thought I'd take a chance on this. For the price of this dress compared to all over similar priced dresses on the internet (even used ones) I thought this dress was very beautiful and I got a great deal for it. The seller emailed me back right away. The dress fit me just right, but if you have a body that isn't shaped like most, I would suggest emailing the seller with specific measurements first. It also shipped within 10 days via DHL (for me anyway) which was super fast and I was very happy about that. The lace up on the back is very pretty (especially since this isn't a $1,000 dress). I took some photos of it lying flat on my table (if you want better photos look at the other reviews and people actually wearing it. It looks great on all of them). Then I Photoshopped the dress with a bolero and heels I wanted to see how they would look with it before purchasing the accessories and then I purchased them from a different site than Amazon.com . The dress I purchased is White and is very white in the first 2 photo. I darkened it a bit in Photoshop (3rd photo) to give myself an idea of what it might look like with a coffee stain to ivory look. I also lightened the sash ribbon around the waist to see what a lighter ribbon would look like. You can purchase a different rhinestone/crystal sash to go with it. I might even sew or glue a few crystal beads along the bottom area for some more easy bling. Still deciding on that. The bottom of the dress is very beautiful and as another reviewer said, it will look even better with a slip underneath it to keep its form even more. I just casually laid it on the table for a quick picture so it's not all spread (in case you are wondering). Anyway, I am working with a small wedding budget, and after looking at prices for venues, reception rental spaces, food, music, decorations, bridesmaids dresses, flowers, etc. I'm very happy to have not spent $800 + dollars on a wedding dress. It's a beautiful dress too. Especially for the price.
