We ordered this dress for my daughter who wore it as a bridesmade dress. The dress far exceeded our expectations. It was perfectly tailored to her and we very well designed. It was comfortable for her to wear too. The dress arrived promptly and communication was very good.
The dress was gorgeous and well made.
it is nice but very expensive
Lots of good reviews on the site, and reasonable reviews off the site, so I was a little concerned but decided it was worth the shot.
CUSTOMER SERVICE: 5/5 First off, they were lovely to work with, reaching out to confirm my details with wonderful english and customer service.
SHIPPING: 5/5 Second, the dress arrived early. I ordered it on time, but still let them know the day I wanted it by— which was a day or two before the event. It came even before that! Had me confirm pickup so it didn’t get lost.
QUALITY: 5/5 Took it out and first thing I noticed was it was HEAVY! (That’s really REALLY good). It wasn’t cheaply made, it spared no expense on the linings, the boning (gosh the boning is beautiful) or the fabrics. I was blown away. Blown away.
STITCHING: 4/5 Some of the stitching is a little sloppy, but no loose threads and the sloppy stitching is unnoticeable and just on the hems. I did want to note that, but I didn’t mind since it was unnoticeable. Also, the top was a tiny bit uneven, but not really noticeable.
CUSTOME SIZING: 4/5 Another thing, I got custom sized and it was a little big. That totally could have been my fault, as I tend to go with the biggest measurement I have so I don’t order too small, and then I neglected to remember that I like strapless dressed extra tight so I feel secure. So I don’t think it was cutedressy’s fault per se. What I will say is that I’m 6’2 (186 cm) and a siz 2/4 in pants with a 30” ribcage. Basically, dresses never fit me. Nothing does, really. So having a dress that went all the way to my toes was a dream come true.
SIZING 2.0: If you’re not sure or getting custom sizing, SIZE DOWN! Not because for me it was big, but because
a) it’s sleeveles
b) it’s HEAVY
c) it has a corset back
Basically, you want to be extra tight because it’s sleeveless and because of the weight, you’ll be fighting gravity. However, the corset back has a wide girth. Meaning, the dress can expand 4-5” in the back with the corset style, so there’s really no reason to risk having the dress too big when you have that much leeway on expanding the dress. There’s no simply shrinking it, though. The size they give is the back fully laced up, but it has a panel so it CAN expand.
EXPERIENCE/OVERALL: came exactly as pictured. Got so many compliments that I couldn’t stand where too many people could see me or they wouldn’t stop coming! Felt like a princess with the quality to match. 10/10 going to purchase from cutedressy again. Especially for those in need of custom sizing. It was a dream.
My purchased dress fits perfectly. I could not be more happy.
