Like everyone else, I, too, was skeptical but took a chance for $95. I ordered the dress on 2/28, it was shipped from Singapore this past Monday (U.S. time) and my package arrived today. I opted for the expedited shipping and it arrived in two days! I ordered light gray and according to their size chart, a size 10 was made for me. I sent them an email right away asking for: buttons down the back, a low neckline, and extra length. I'm 5'11 flat footed and while the chart indicates my exact 60" hollow for the dress, I still wanted a few extra inches added, even though I will be wearing flats.Tania from Asa Bridal was very responsive, asked me a couple of questions, and let me know that custom dresses are not returnable. She wanted to know if I wanted buttons in place of the zipper, or buttons over the zipper. Over the zipper is fine with me as it's much easier to deal with. I had to contact her one other time and she was always quick to respond. Excellent customer service.I opened the package with a little apprehension and opened the belt first. Lovely. Sparkly. The appliqué is attached to a coordinating gray ribbon and even the ends have sparkle. I pulled the dress out of the plastic bag it comes securely in and I admit... I was a little wonderstruck. It looked really pretty... I unfolded it and laid it on the bed to admire it. There is a noticeable seam at the waist, but it's not unsightly and the belt covers it anyway, but even if I choose not to wear the belt, the seam doesn't bother me. I can't tell if the neckline is, in fact, the extra low drop, but either way, I'm happy with it. There is one button missing at the back. That's my only "complaint" and, honestly, it doesn't bother me considering the price and it's not going to even be noticeable since the buttons were placed over the zipper and I can go get a little, gray button to replace it if I really feel the need.I put the dress on and the length pooled around me.... which, even though they added more length than I expected, I kind of love. As one who is almost 6-feet tall, I'm tickled to have something on that could be THIS LONG. I have to hold it up a little to walk and I have a little train. I'll either just drag it around with me or I'll have a little bustle done. And speaking of bustle, that's the only alteration I'll have to have. It fits perfectly from top to bottom. The cap-sleeves are not too snug, and actually err on the loose side where I can even pull them down a little across my shoulder for a different look, but they don't fall down on their own, the zipper zips all the way up, the waist is flattering and my 37-inch (high) hips are not emphasized in unflattering ways, like some dresses I tried on with lots of full tulle. The cut of the dress is perfectly flattering and doesn't chop me off at the wrong place. AND no bra needed = BONUS!Do measure yourself properly. I think that's very helpful and their size chart seems spot on. Tall girls, if you want length, length you shall have (they did not charge me for any of my customizations-- I thought for sure the length would cost a little extra, understandably so, but NOPE). The three layers of tulle is soft and flowy. The lace is attractive. I paid a total of $129, which includes the belt and the expedited shipping.We are eloping to Tennessee in October and while it's just the two of us on our day, I still want a dress that looks like a wedding gown, but I'm not necessarily a traditional white or ivory kind of lady so I dig the color options here. I'll pair this with a plum colored (faux) fur shrug and it is the right mix of tulle and bridal, with a twist of romantic-goth for this ol' 80's teen. Kind of blows my mind that I can say that my "yes dress" was ordered from over seas on Amazon without ever seeing it in person. I had seen this dress on various google searches and other sites (for $600) and I always loved it so after finding it on Amazon, I read every single review here, looked at every single customer picture and, figuring goodness knows I've wasted $100 on something dumb before, I just went for it because what if, JUST WHAT IF, I love it?! I do.
