Love the pins! Shipped really fast and packaged carefully. The chains are detachable. I ended up removing the chains and putting two on the same side for an asymmetrical look. The floral embellishments went really well with the floral details on my Marilyn Bespoke Dress.
The dress is really beautiful!! I was a little overwhelmed with the custom-sizing option (totally my bad), so went with M. I have a pear-shaped body (narrow shoulder, small waist, wide hip. I'm also particularly flat-chested). The dress fit perfectly for my hip, and I had the waist tailored in. The upper body is a bit loose, and my seamstress couldn't really touch it due to the decorative elements. It's still really gorgeous, although I wish I had gone for the custom-size option for a better fit on my top half.
Thank you, EMD!
We had such a great experience working with East Meets Dress on our custom chopsticks, from the design process to prompt shipping.
The custom chopsticks are amazing — and the customer service was second to none. Order arrived very quickly. Thank you!
My mom wanted to wear a qipao for a ceremony but a lot of the local qipao stores closed down due to the pandemic. We stumbled upon East Meets Dress and were thrilled that the Melinda Dress could be custom tailored to her size! We did the measurements at home. Dress arrived very quickly and it was a gorgeous fit. Thank you so much for making one of my mom's dreams come true!
I'm a Korean 2023 bride marrying into a Chinese family so for our wedding day, my fiance's family wanted to do a Tea Ceremony. While they said I don't need to buy a whole new Qi Pao for the occasion, I wanted to make it special and memorable. I came across East Meets Dress on a quick Google search. After watching a few YouTube videos, reading some additional reviews online, and coming across a helpful Reddit post, I felt confident that this was the right choice - and it was!
I didn't order the custom sizing - just simply looked at the size chart and ordered the standard sizing according to my measurements. For reference, I'm 5'0 and my measurements are bust 39", waist 32-33", hips 40.5" - ordered 3XL. I can probably get away with 2XL but I wanted it to feel comfortable enough for me to move/dance/eat in. It took just about 3.5-4 weeks to arrive from order to delivery.
It just arrived in the mail last night and it fits wonderfully! I have some wiggle room in case I need to get it altered a bit if I happen to lose more weight, but it fits fine as is!
My Gemma dress is good in design and quality but does not fit very well (around the hips area). The details on the dress are great and the customization that I had is well done (button all the way down).
Giving a 4* because of the poor packaging that was very disappointing. I was expecting a nice unboxing with good presentation of all the item I ordered. Instead, I had all items in a plastic wrap as if it was directly leaving from the factory.
10/10 recommend this dress by East Meets Dress. It arrived right on time in wonderful condition. Great attention to detail - the seams are even, and the panels of fabric were perfectly sewn together so that the entire pattern lines up. Customer service was responsive and made sure the dress was made to my measurements. It fits so well that it looks custom-made and needs no alterations. I'm excited to wear this for my wedding tea ceremony!
If you are thinking about getting this dress, do it! This dress is stunning in person- the pictures seriously do not do it justice. It is extremely comfortable and was exactly what I was looking for. We bought the matching dragon tie for my husband to wear and couldn't be happier. East Meets Dress was amazing to work with and made the Tea Ceremony part of our wedding memorable!
After a short wait of a few weeks, I received my bow-tie and I am completely satisfied with how it turned out. It has a quick release system and stretch system for the hidden under collar strap, which makes fitting it a breeze. The fabric quality is impeccable, and I cannot wait to wear it!
The whole ordering process was so easy and the response was prompt and professional. Everything went perfectly - products were beautiful and top quality. I
The craftsmanship and customer service of East Meets Dress has been INCREDIBLE. The dresses both arrived far earlier than I expected. These are the only wedding dresses I've ever tried on, and I love them both.
The first, a bespoke Amal dress in wine red, is for our ceremony. The lace detail against the mesh back is exquisite. The fabric is a gorgeous color; not too heavy, but substantial. I ended adding a loop to the train, so it wouldn't drag. The second dress, the Marilyn in red wine for the dance floor, is breathable and effortless. The paneling left a few inches of my breast exposed on the left side (I'm a DD cup), so a local tailor is removing some of the flowers on the top to cover those parts. If you are a larger-chested person, I'd recommend potentially getting the dress without side paneling.
Chopsticks turned out amazing! Love them and excited to give out as wedding thank you gifts!
If I wanted to show off my bump a little more I could have gotten a small. The medium was a perfect choice on being loose enough around my torso and stomach.
Well made dress that is pretty and surprisingly warm.
I ordered a wine red Qin Jacket for my husband for our upcoming wedding. The material is very high quality and the jacket feels very comfortable! I love the color and I love the dragon embroidery.
A small complaint I have is that the pankous (i think that’s what they’re called) are a little hard to fasten. You really have to claw them out.
Another note is that I do think the jacket tends to run wide. Which is fine in my husband’s case since he’s more on the heavier side of average. But if you want a jacket more form-fitting (particularly in the back), I would suggest asking someone at East Meets Dress to advise how you take your measurements for specific parts of the body.
Overall, I’m very happy with my order and I can’t wait for my husband to wear it at our wedding!
The dress is so beautiful in person. Customer service was amazing and quick to reply to my questions that I had. It was so easy to choose the dress for my special day.
Im so happy with my order! The dress is such good quality and I love the deep wine red color. Ive always felt like I didn’t look in the traditional “Chinese red” color so Im thankful I had an alternative option.
Submitting my measurements was thankfully pretty straightforward. I didn’t have a professional tailor but I had my mom help me. The dress fits perfectly; my body is tricky because I’m wide in my shoulders, small in my chest and wide in my waist. Thus, I usually have to size up based on the waist but it always leaves my top looking weird. Just as a small note, if I had tried on a sample beforehand, I may have asked for the slit to be placed slightly higher than the standard 40 cm because the slit falls in this weird position near my knees when I’d rather it land in the middle of my thigh. But this is a minor detail. Also, I would suggest adding 2-3 more cm (at least) for the collar! Otherwise, you might feel like it’s pressing against your neck. But this boils down to personal preference as well, I just really hate the feeling of something pressing against my neck.
Overall, Im in love with my dress and I can’t wait to wear it on my wedding day! 7 more months!
Loved the fit of this dress! There sizes run very small but I went with their recommendation and it turned out to be the right fit! I loved the detail and quality of dress! Thank you!!
Overall I am really pleased with the quality of the dress. It fits perfectly to the dimensions I gave on ordering. It’s such a beautiful dress. My only niggle is the zip is a little tricky to zip up and down because of the sequins but I assume this will loosen in time (hopefully) or just the design of the dress.
Delivery proved to be stressful as it was nigh impossible to get hold of anyone from UPS to arrange re-delivery, however this is no fault of East Meets West. They answered my queries and concerns straight away. Anyway, we got there in the end and I have my stunning dress that I cannot wait to wear
Wasn’t sure how well it would fit, doing online consultation and having someone else giving measurements. But it fits amazing and looks more than perfect. Will be suggesting them to others in the future.
I bought the Elizabeth Dress for myself and the matching jacket for my husband. We're going to wear this for our tea ceremony next year! The moment I put it all on, I did not want to take it off! I absolutely adored it. I am from the UK and so I had to pay £30 for shipping, then £97 extra once it was delivered to my local newsagents. It was worth it, honestly! It's a lot of money for shipment but it was totally worth it! I took a chance on this and I have no regrets. The detail and the quality is immaculate! Very happy.
I recently received my Tammy purple qipao and I love it already! The entire process was pretty easy and simple. I will have to do slight alterations since I have myself more room in the measurements but the quality overall is amazing. I can’t wait to wear this for my tea ceremony and wedding.
