BONOYUER Women's Off The Shoulder Satin Prom Dress Long High Slit A-Line Formal Evening Gown with Pockets - Perfect for Homecoming, Wedding Guest, Cocktail Party & Special Occasions

**warning: this review is going to be long but it will be filled with vital information**I have a wedding to go to at the end of August and me and my husband are trying to coordinate our colors. I had trouble finding the color that I wanted initially, until I finally found this dress. I was a little hesitant from buying something like this online (because of course you hear all of the horror stories and see them video reviewed etc.) but judging from all the good reviews, I decided to give it a shot. Now, I will say that I purposely sent in my measurements and had it slightly customized to what I would like, as well as I had them send me pictures of the swatches of the two colors that I was deciding between. The seller is very sweet, and patient, and just absolutely fantastic. I chose the standard shipping because of the timeframe it told me, it would be here well before I technically needed the it. Plus, I figured that would give them a few more days not to have to rush and make my order, since I didn't need it right away. That's the part that scared me a little bit because, first, got nervous because THREE days after I placed my CUSTOM order it shipped out. I was very surprised that a custom dress would ship out that quickly. Secondly, I was nervous because once it did ship, it was shipped with a company called Fast track express Inc. and every review that I've seen of that company was a horror story that people did not get their packages for months (if at all!). They can't call and talk to anybody because the number is disconnected, so, there's no way to get in touch with this company at all and my package did sit for quite a few days before it actually moved so I was very very nervous at that point that I was not gonna get this package until it was too late. So while I could technically wait a little bit longer on the dress, I couldn't wait all that much longer because I still need to get the stuff for my husband. I did try to call fast track express and it is a disconnected number, I did get a hold of them through email and while they did respond me and they tried to help, it didn't make much sense what they were saying, so I have no idea how that business is actually running but it did get transferred over to USPS after, I would say, about a week to week and a half. Once it transferred over to USPS, it literally got to me in a day. I saw every tracking update because I get alerts on my phone and literally it got to USPS on Saturday 06/25 evening and shipped all Sunday 06/26, and it was delivered to me today, which is Monday 6/27. As soon as I got home from work I am mediately opened it and tried it on and fell in love it is a little bit heavy which I expect from a formal gown that tells me that it was made correctly and it is extremely well made. I was flabbergasted at how well-made this dress is. The color is exactly the same in the picture admittedly the pictures that I took of when I was in it I did not have it tight all the way because it is a little hard to do it yourself it's possible but you'll have to lace it first then step into it and then try to tighten it from there (which honestly your significant other could probably help if they don't want to do all the lacing.) I would briy more clothes from the seller and a heartbeat I am so excited and impressed with the level of professionalism that they show. if you are thinking about buying this gown for any reason whatsoever I definitely recommend it. my only two cons that I have in their so minor that I can't even really call them cons but I digress when I did get the lacing for the corset back one of the seams was ripping so I will have to sew that which I definitely know how to do it's not a big ordeal sometimes those things just happen and I was hoping the built-in bra would be a bit more supportive (again I tied it as tight as I could get it which was still pretty decently tight it wasn't obviously tight all the way) but I feel like I'm gonna have to get something to uplift the "girls" a little bit, Other than that not a single con. please buy this gown.As far as shipping, if you need this dress for a special event make sure to put in the order way before the date of the event. I gave a fake date and it did arrive later than the fake date(im sure the problem is not by the seller, it is from the China) but not later than the actual date.As far as the dress itself...beautiful. The material is of quality. Its heavy yet does not fall apart. It has A BUILT IN BRA and you can use these little straps that hang on your shoulders to help keep the dress up. I was excited about that because I need both of those supports if you know what I mean.I still need to wear it for my special event so I will come back and review otherwise if its not up to standard.This dress fit perfect! Customer Service was amazing!I had so many compliments on this dress and how beautiful it was. The color matched the picture perfectly. I wore this dress to walk my daughter down the aisle on 10-01-2022. If you are on the fence about buying it, BUY IT! I contemplated my purchase for over a month before doing it. After I purchased, I emailed the company my measurements and a small tweak that I wanted, and they made it happen.What was meant to be my '2nd dress/ reception dress' at my wedding ended up being the only dress. This dress made me feel WONDERFUL. Comfortable and sexy! I bought it to the cleaners and they were shocked. Sooo well made and full, nice train. I couldn't ask for better. My plus size ladies, don't hesitate! Very flatteringThis dress is very well made. I am extremely impressed with the durability and thickness of the fabric. Well done. My daughter bought this dress for homecoming and everyone loved it!The dress was made beautifully and I am pleased to wear it to my daughter's wedding.It fit perfect! The deliveryThe fabric is amazing! It did arrive a little late but other than that it looks gorgeous!!?Wedding, it was very elegant.
