Elegant Women's Sheer Waist Fishbone Symmetrical Peplum Long Prom Dress - Perfect for Formal Dances, Evening Galas & Special Occasions

We ordered this dress for my daughter's senior prom. It is a gorgeous dress - nice quality and totally stunning. The only things I would critique are the customizations that we had done by the seller. My daughter and I were not fans of the see-through bodice so I paid the extra $25 custom fee to have it lined and made to her measurements. We also asked that they add straps made from the same applique that is on the bodice.When the dress arrived, the bodice had been lined with matching fabric but it was not totally smooth - there were some spots where it was puckered. The puckers were under the outer fabric and not that noticeable, so we just left them. The straps were there and very pretty, but one of them was attached in a completely different spot than the other, which made one very loose and it fell down constantly. And finally, even though we sent them a specific hollow-to-floor measurment for the length, the underskirt was very short - like ankle length - you could see her entire shoe. We ended up taking the dress to a seamstress and having the strap moved. The seamstress also tightened up the bust area, since even though it fit, it was oddly gappy in spots. And she ended up cutting fabric off the underskirt train and attaching it in the front in order to lengthen the underskirt so her shoes did not show. This was kind of a hokey way to fix it, as you could see the seam across the bottom front of the underskirt if you looked hard enough, but without shelling out big money to replace the whole underskirt this was the best we could do. Since we were already having alterations done, we also had her add buttons so the train could be bustled for easier dancing (see the photos).Anyhow, even with these issues, this was a gorgeous dress! It came within about 3 weeks though we paid the extra $35 for express shipping so I don't know if that is why. At any rate, the dress plus the custom fee plus the express shipping plus the alterations still totaled up to just about $225 - a lot less than her friends who got dresses from local bridal salons. If I had to order again, I don't know if I would spring for the custom fee since we had to alter it anyhow and at least the stock size would not have been too short -- it's definitely easier to shorten than lengthen!
