So I wanted to do a review of everything I wanted to know before I purchased this dress, so I hope this is comprehensive enough. A few things to note beforehand: 1) Order well well in advance (there were three options for shipping: standard, rush, and the extra rushed one. I used the rush order and my dress arrived two days after the expected arrival date, so it was too late to make last-minute alterations) 2) But, luckily, I put my measurements as pretty fitted (I'll list my measurements below-I wear around a size 0 pant) so the dress fit well except for the sleeves. We used safety pins to hold it back because the sleeves were very floppy so I would suggest sewing that if you get this dress. 3) There is a built-in bra so you won't need to wear one and the zipper worked well but kind of needed to be forced for the upper half, but it wasn't a major issue, nothing needed to be fixed. 4) Since it came in the mail, it wasn't entirely wrinkled but there were some noticeable wrinkles, so I suggest you buy a steamer beforehand to help get rid of the wrinkles. 5) I got burgundy but the dress ended up being more of a dark reddish color which I didn't mind, but just keep in mind you may not get exactly the color you choose so maybe look at the pictures of the reviews before deciding on a color. I would say that the last photo most accurately represents the true color of the dress. It also shows how the sleeves look without altering since my safety pins came undone. 6) Feel free to contact them, they give you updates every week or two regarding your dress. But if you want to know where it is, make sure you ask them for the tracking number and a link. For my dress, I believe they used DHL and like I said, my dress was supposed to come four days before my event, but it came two days before instead and that was with the rush order, so just keep that in mind when ordering. I'm around 5'6 and a size 0 in pants so these were the measurements I used. they were pretty fitted and the tailoring and dress quality were really good so I really suggest getting this dress if you're planning for an event at least a month in advance and are willing to pay around $10 extra for shipping.
