This dress didn’t exactly meet my expectations. Once I sorted it from the tangled, inside out mess it arrived in and steamed it, it was slightly better, but not by much. The boning in the corset doesn’t extend the full length of the dress and the dress overall isn’t as structured as I’d thought it’d be. There are two mesh panels on the back that extend the full length of the dress, the drapery bottom part the only thing covering any exposed skin, creating a weird, 1” hem that hangs out. Will we make it work for homecoming? Probably. Customer service was friendly, responsive, and helpful when we first ordered, confirming her measurements, and again when it showed the package was delivered, but we hadn’t received it yet. I’d order way in advance of your event date in case it doesn’t work out, and set your expectations a tad lower than what the product images depict.
