I tried every possible position to fold that pleat right so that it lies even.. no chance:

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!!

Christina I think all of those things are fixable by a seamstress. The pleat may need to be darted down so it stays flat. I am not sure what they will do about the run on the left breast part and I think the part in the back can be tacked to stay inside as well. But of course I am not a seamstress so I don't know. I think the dress came out very very well except for those minor adjustments that need to be made. I would hope to be so lucky with my TTD. Was this your TTD? Is this the poly-taffeta?

christinak82 - my dress had some of those stitch lines in the rouching too. At first I was a bit put off but then I realized that nobody besides me would focus on it. I also noticed later that part of the bodice on my dress isn't attached to the skirt - you can stick a hand down between the material and right "under" the skirt! haha. The parts where the edges of the material comes out is pretty unacceptable! In the end I knew that NOBODY would be analyzing my dress so closely on that big day. And honestly, for under $200, I knew it wasn't going to be perfect and accepted these tiny little flaws. I'm sorry it's not what you wanted it to be and hope you can figure out what to do with it!! HUGS!

I really agree with KJT. I think this are minor things that no one is really going to notice. Like I said I think they can be easily fixed. On that day no one is going to be examining your dress and IMO when you first posted the pics I was so enthralled by how stunning the dress was and the detail that I really didn't notice those things until you posted them up close. I hope you can get it fixed to your liking. It really is a beautiful dress, not to mention it fits you very, very, well.

I dont know if I can fix that all... my mother in law said its all just small things, but because there are so many small things I´ve noticed, it just gets a whole big unignorable thing...
your dress is beautiful christina - but i would be upset with some of the issues as well.

those stitch marks on the bust are unacceptable, in my opinion - but your mother in law is right, no one will be judging your dress like you are. you might able to steam out those stitch holes, and i am sure a seamstress can help you with the other details. i still do think it is stunning enough to be your official dress, it is gorgeous.

thank you for your encouragement... I know I shouldnt go crazy because its all only small (and hopefully fixable) things... but I am such a perfectionist and sometimes I wonder how people can do their jobs so "half-hearted" :-D
jeeez... maybe I should go see a therapist ;-)

Nope! It was my actual dress! I still felt AMAZINGLY beautiful on that day!! Didn't even think about the fact that I could have pulled the front of my skirt out like it wasn't attached! smile120.gif

Honestly, you can't really tell from looking at the pics that it's "off". I love the dress!!! :)

      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!
