I can't begin to tell you how happy we were with this purchase. We were a bit nervous purchasing a prom dress online, but we could not have been more pleased. The seller took care in packaging the dress... it was packaged insideout so it was "ready-to-wear" and none of the stones were disturbed (it even came with extra stones). The top is a corset so no bra is needed. It was absolutely beautiful! The seller made the sizing easy with the measuring chart so the dress fit my daughter perfectly! The color was exactly as seen in the picture and the length was exactly the same so it was easy to pick out shoes before hand. Like I said, this seller made online shopping for prom easy. This dress is so beautiful!!
