    Ok so i've tried it on and it's mostly great!

    There's nowhere near as much detail on the skirt as the picture and it's too short but i've emailed the company to see what they can do about this.

    It's big around my stomach and hips which makes it look bulky but i love the detailing on the bodice bit.

    So if they can either send me extra pattern to get to stiched on or have the dress back to do themselves then we've got a winner girls!!

    So for the big flash....

    Wow. Very nice. It doesn't look short to me! Maybe find a seamstress in your area to fix the actual fit x

    A lady that does all of my singing and dancing costumes is doing the alterations so mum has said that if the company send some extra lace she should be able to make it longer.

    I had no shoes on then and ideally i would have liked to have worn a fishtail petticoat to make it stand out more.

    Thanks tho hun. x

    I think it looks lovely Grace and more bridal than the first one. Do you feel much more comfortable in it? Will go lovely with your new vintage theme also

    I love the top bit and when it's laced properly it's gong to fit perfet too it's just from the waist down that i'm a little dissapointed in but the seller has responded straight away in their cute broken english saying that i made them sad that i wasn't happy and to send it back and they will sort it, so YAY!!

    Even tho they've made a slight boo boo with the details the communication has been brilliant.

    Also i think their going to be making me a whole new dress as when i asked for the address to send the dress back they asked for all my measurements again.

    It really looks lovely and once they get the length sorted along with the extra embroidery on the skirt it will be stunning. x

    Got up late today so had to rush to get OH to work on time and all i was thinking about was 'hope Grace's dress looks good, gotta get back to see' It looks lovely though hun, the lace is gorgeous and as someone has already said it will go with your new theme brill. Shame it is not perfet first time but what a relief that they are being so nice about getting it perfect for you. Just imagine yo will have to go through yesterday all over again when the new/ improved one gets sent!

    God i know Tinks, not sure if i can handle all that again, lol.

    I still can't believe that they are going to change it, they were so apologetic and didn't hesitate to offer to adjust it for me.

    I've sent it today so by the time they receive it, change it and send it back it's going to be about 2-3 weeks i think ?
