My custom-made dress arrived today and as promised, here is my review.
I ordered this style
in a midnight blue slightly stretch suit fabric.
I was really nervous because my local tailor refused to take my measurements but my kind coworker scarlett agreed to help me out. Amazingly, the dress fits like a glove. I knew that based on photos the dress was supposed to be really fitted but I was still a little surprised to find that it is really and truly that tight on me! I guess that is the only thing I am a bit unhappy with. If I had thought about it some more I would have added a bit to my measurements (especially in the butt area ) and had it made an inch or too longer but overall I am really pleased. The fabric feels really nice and I also got it lined for an additional 7GBP. It also comes with a little tie-belt in the same fabric.
Here are some pics of it on me. It's hard to see the cowl neck because the fabric is so dark but it really falls nicely.
I think I'm going to try to frump it up for a work party with a navy cardigan, navy or gray tights and flats
LOVELY!!!!! Its beautiful, and the color turned out terrific!
