Hi, i order my dress from dresillyme a month ago. It came this morning and i'm pretty happy with the result. This is the pictures from the web, dress design originally from Essense of Australia.

Ok because I had such a hard time finding info on buying a Chinese knock off I want to post a detailed review. This dress is gorgeous. Really well made. Great details, there are little beading details

Okay ladies, got it on, and it fits perfectly! Maybe needs a little tweaking around the bust...but nothing really! I will attach a few pictures of it, don't mind my lovely hair do!!

has relatively inexpensive but elegeant looking appliques.  I'll probably be buying the satin, chiffon, or ribbon myself and either hand sewing or gluing the applique on.

 

Don't spend so much mony on the belt.  They've become popular and they are really easy to make.  Just get the right applique and hand sew or glue on.

So my dress showed up today and it would be great but....It's totally the wrong size.  The bust is 26", waist is 24", and hips are 32".  It was supposed to be 35" bust and 26" waist with lace up back and 38".  I can't even try it on@  6 inches in the hips is a HUGE difference.  They keep asking me what size I wanted but I just went off of their size chart that they had listed.  All in all the quality is good but I'd have to cut my left leg off from the hip to even try it on!

HI ladies! here is the dress I posted a few months ago "in action". as you'll see it's not 100% identical to the inspiration dress, but I never expected it would be...I have NO complaints! It was done by Gianinar and it took just a little over one month. I'm attaching the inspiration dress and then some pics from the wedding... these are the only ones I have right now, and most of them have my flowers blocking the dress, but at least it gives you an idea... :)

That sucks big time!  This is what I am afraid of when considering ordering overseas.  Will they redo it for you?  Also I noticed you have MANY wedding dates.  Just curious, whats up with that? Vow renewal? what.gif

I know...I had the same problem with One-Stopos. I wanted to send it back for alterations but they refused to pay shipping. Shipping (as with any service cost eg alterations etc) costs alot of money- with that money I might've as well made another dress. Their terms and conditions said that they'd pay the shipping- but really they would only pay one way shipping from China to back where you are. Hopefully babyonline would be nicer and pay for the return shipping cost

 

If that fails, I'd go for reimbursement for local alteration costs--- have you brought it to a seamstress for a quote yet? And then scan/email the quote and tell them how much it'd cost....I imagine it'd be over and above the maximum they'd want to pay, but at least you'd recover some of the cost.

 

And then either 1. get it let out by seamstress. 2. try a different gown-maker (jasmine's or dressilyme sounds good to me).

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
