I ordered this dress hoping it looks beautiful and if it needs some alterations I can just go get those done.

It does have a corset back so I know that helps but I realize it might be too long, which isnt that hard to fix anyway.

Here is my dress..

Ok so I have a confession to make. LOL

I wanted to see what my dress was going to look like in white. So I emailed another vendor and they sent me a pic of how they make the white one, I almost cried! This is what she sent me:

Dont get me wrong, if this is their final product it looks great but my favorite part about this dress is the bottom, and its nothing like it. So I figured I should email gianinarbridal and she sent me pics this dress in 3 different colors, front and back! And I am so happy!!!

Here is mine, please pardon the bad hair and no smile on some pics, DBF was driving me crazy not taking the pics like I wanted. Front:

On this pic I'm pinching the back to hold it better:

See how much room I have at the back:

I don't know if you can see how the neckline was done, it is kind of sweetheart strapless, and they added that chiffon layer to give it a halter like look. Not very linear like a true halter, specially since I have nothing to fill it. Can you also see the creasing at the front about waist high? Seem like the extra layer used on the bodice (sandwiched between the satin and the inner layer is not sewn perfectly straight and bunches a bit. We tried to iron this out without success.

I think most of it is fixable, not sure the neckline can be made perfect though, which disappoints me, since how hard can it be to make a nice halter in the first place? (Adding lots of padding should help, I've tested it using my magical filled push-up bra.) Someone here gave me a reference for alterations, I have to contact them, but I'm so busy next week, and time is running fast!
Hi

Your dress looks lovely, it really suits you.
I know you are dissapointed with the fit, but it is easier to alter, if the dress is bigger.
The models in the pictures are way thin dont forget so the dress will look slightly different on everybody. Hopefully you will find a seamstress to fix the bits your not happy with.
good luck

I chose gianinarbridal because they send you proof pictures as soon as the dress is done and they still allow changes before they finally send you the dress (I specifically asked them about that). This was mainly why I decided to go with them. Also I didnt hear anything bad about them unlike about Landy, Duosheng or the other named companies. Prices are reasonable and you can always chose between a cheap and expensive option. But even if you go with the cheaper fabric, all the dresses I saw looked great. In my opinion they come closest to the original picture.
Good luck in deciding. Tell us who you chose.

    • 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!
    • 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!
