Donna, I would probably stick to what they suggest and just get the dress in off-white? My cousin choose the off-white colour from jasmines and it looks good...

No probs! From the dress we received I don't think you will need to upgrade. We were also thinking about getting designer grade but figured since they have made the dress before there wasn't a need too. Fabric was pretty good too..as I mentioned in previous post, when they send you progress pics, look over them really carefully and point out anything that doesn't look right (even if it is something really small). In our first progress pics, the bust was way wrong, left side of bust was pointy and right side was rounded. We also pointed out folds that weren't sitting right etc...Jasmine's were really accommidating and fixed the problems. But having said that, we weren't overly nit picking on every little detail. I mean in the end this is a replica and you can't expect to get it exactly like the original.

Here are pics of a copy of 'vera wang gemma' dress that my cousin brought from Jasmines. Really happy with it and the process was really easy..although there was a little bit of back and forth emailing but they were always so helpful. No upgrade on the craftmanship and materials. Highly recommend Jasmines! Just wanted to say thank you to all who have posted on this valuable thread and thought I'd try do my bit to help anyone wanting to get a replica.. .

Btw my comment is for My Hoang

Dress looks great! This might just be the angle of the picture or my eyes but the right boob looks slightly higher then the left? Also the left side of the dress around the bum area looks to be sticking out... Like it doesn't sit round and smooth ... Hope that helps... My cousin just brought a dress from jasmine too (which I will post pic up after this) ... We found that it is always good to point out anything that doesn't look right even if it is just something really small = )
