I initially picked East Meets Dress because I was looking for an Asian fusion dress that fit my up bringing. Being half Chinese, it didn't seem appropriate for us to do a fully traditional Chinese wedding with all the various ceremonies. You take all the ceremonies away and I only needed one dress. I still wanted something Chinese style but made for a western style ceremony. East Meets Dress was the only trustworthy looking place I found that made these kinds of dresses. I ordered it very early because I was a little skeptical about ordering a custom dress online.

I ordered the dress back in April and just received it last week. The dress is absolutely stunning! They made it so easy to work with them. They double checked my measurements and made sure that my customizations were exactly the way I wanted. In the end, the dress is absolutely beautiful and it fits very well. I will obviously need to bring it into my tailor for a couple of minor adjustments. It's impossible for a custom mail order dress to fit perfectly on the first try, but it fits in all the important places and I am very impressed with the precision and quality. I am even more impressed with the price point. The prices are incredibly reasonable for this level of quality.

I ordered it so early that I still have 6 months till my wedding day so I just need to make sure I don't gain too much weight!

Fell in love with the jade beads on this dress. I didn't want a bright red dress, and felt this was the perfect combination of traditional and modern elements. I got to choose the type of lace as well—it was really easy to work with EMD!
