I gave them all of my measurements, including height, and asked that it be shortened to skim just a bit above the knee, which to me is a more flattering length, since the original dress online fell about mid-calf between the knee and ankle, and I have to say, they nailed the length adjustments!
Though I kept the original neckline, even though it could be altered as well, I chose to have the sleeve length be made to a short sleeve, instead of cap sleeve, but think it would be beautiful sleeveless as well, so it is more of a tank stye top to the dress without any of the tulle and might end up getting the tulle sleeves taken off later to give it a new look.
I feel the quality of this dress is just beautiful, it is also fully lined, and I love that it has pockets and is a heavier weight, fully lined dress so that it falls well on the body and gives a bit of the twirl feel when you turn from the weight of the sequins, which move effortlessly on the bottom.
Overall, the fit is lovely, just slightly big on me in the waist area, which I pinned in at the seam line by the side zipper, but that area is usually big on me on any dress because I seem to have an oddly small waist for my height, but then have fuller hips, which can make for unique fitting at times. That said, I am very impressed with the quality, speed of alterations, order and delivery and would not only recommend them, but order from them in the future!
What I love most is that they can customize your order to the exact size you need for the best possible fit and style options that you want for the affordable additional fee of only $7.50, which to me is worth every penny and quite accurate.
