Update after alterations:My alterations included taking the dress in, hemming about 5 inches, chopping the train, adding boob cups, moving some lace on the skirt, and shortening the straps. I uploaded some pictures after alterations. I'm wearing a petticoat (Grace Karin brand, from amazon) under the dress. 5'4" and wearing flats.Updated review:I ordered a size 6, in ivory, customized with a higher back. (last two photos attached to review.) I gave them very little direction and just asked for the back to be about level with the bust. The custom dress is everything I wanted!! There is more lace on the skirt (maybe a consolation for covid19 related delays). The higher back is much more supportive, even without me zipping it all the way up.The new dress seems very slightly more ivory toned than the first one. I'd call it a soft white rather than a true white like the first order. The lace embroidery on the skirt is placed a little lower on the skirt, so it doesn't look as much like it's cascading down from the bodice. Probably needed to do this because the lace embroidery is in larger pieces. Basically, don't expect it to look exactly like reviewer photos.If you're ordering a petticoat to go with this dress, you'll need one with a smooth or soft top layer. I tried it with a petticoat with stiff netting, and you can see it through the lining of the dress. The dress doesn't need a petticoat, but the extra shape is nice.Original review:I ordered a size 6 in ivory. It is very true to size for wedding dresses. Slightly smaller than street size 6, but not as small as some size 6 wedding dresses I've tried on. My bust measurement is about 35" and my waist is 27". The ivory is very bright white and not ivory at all.Overall, it's a very good quality for the price. But this will not compete with $500+ dresses. The lace is not closely trimmed, you can see the seam at the back of the skirt. The edge of the skirt is not super cleanly cut. There are two layers of tulle and a shiny satin-y lining. If you look closely, your can tell it was cheap. But you have to look closely. The lace itself is a very nice quality. The stitching was done well. The top of the dress has more attention paid to it. The lace is trimmed more carefully.The back of the dress is very low. The v of the straps don't come together before the waist/skirt part. Th entirely open back means you don't get much support in the front. There is a little flexible boning in the front, but it doesn't do much.This dress would be highly improved with additional boning in the front and a slightly higher back (even 2 inches up would help).Additionally, I really think the seller should offer this with a blush lining. It would look great against the white lace and look much more like the product photo. Blush dresses are very popular right now and hard to find at this price point.The bra cups are a slightly awkward shape on me, but my alterations person is going to add some boning and bring the back up to give me more support and make the front more flattering.I am 5'4" and will be wearing flats. I'll need it hemmed about 5 inches (without a petticoat, slightly less with one). There is some extra lace in the front that we will add to the back with additional tulle to help provide the support needed.The full body pic on me has a petticoat underneath. It doesn't make a huge difference in poof, but does give the dress more shape. I'll add more photos after my alterations are done.
