The dress is gorgeous in person with mesh side panels and lovely embroidery. I was looking for a last minute wedding dress (less than 2 weeks), and East Meets Dress responded promptly to help me find what was in stock. The dress, alas was too large, and I decided to return it (vs tailor it) and get a custom measured one for a future occasion - but I wish I had discovered East Meets Dress in time to order a custom fitting dress. If you have time to go custom fitting - do!
