Ordered this dress at the beginning of June, and I was in such a panic about not being able to get it in time for October 1. I paid for expedited delivery, and I must tell you, they absolutely delivered it promptly. It is now 7/18/22 and I just received the dress. As soon as I opened the package, I was in absolute amazing at how beautiful the red silk is, and how sparkly all the beading was! I cannot express in words at how beautiful this dress is. The pictures on this website is already beautiful of this dress, but once you see it in person, you will see that pictures do not do it justice! Thank you, East Meets Dress! I am absolutely in love!
