The dress was perfect, the fit was exactly per the measurements that were sent and the quality was phenomenal. I live in New Zealand so did have to pay customs tax on top of the shipping, but the total cost was still half the price as any of the bridal stores near me. The open back and the jade beading were definitely the highlight, and paired with my partners suit, we looked divine.

This dress is absolutely divine. The Jade buttons on the white lace are the perfect touch on this dreamy, fit and flare gown. Not only is the dress gorgeous to behold, it is very comfortable to wear. I customized mine to have a diamond, open back and I felt so beautiful on my wedding day. Additionally, the East Meets Dress team was super responsive and helpful. And the cherry on top was the packaging, which was so fun and came with little candies I recognized from my childhood. All in all, this was a wonderful experience, and I couldn’t be happier. I’m looking into getting another gown from them when I do my 5-year renewal.

I was looking for a cheongsam-inspired dress as my wedding dress and found EMD after realising I could not find what I wanted in Australia, and due to COVID, I was also unable to get one made in-person overseas. I was initially worried about buying a wedding dress online, but Vivian was so helpful in answering my questions about shipping and customising the neckline.

From there, Sole was so helpful and even double-checked my measurements. The EMD team communicated well throughout the entire process and when it arrived, it was everything I wanted in my dress. It did need some alterations for that perfect fit, but that is to be expected with a cheongsam dress. My seamstress was also really impressed with quality of this dress and the material used.

I was told repeatedly that the dress was really unique, and our photographers loved the jade beads, so if you're looking for a cheongsam twist to the traditional white dress, I highly recommend :)

I was looking for a wedding dress that wasn’t over the top, simple, elegant, and most importantly, traditional. Being a fan of the cheongsam silhouette, I opted for a Chinese traditional dress over the western styles as I don’t prefer them. Living abroad, it was difficult to find a shop that allowed me to our base the dress, rather than just hire one. I was also unable to travel to Asia to obtain one due to the current pandemic. Luckily for me, I came upon East Meets Dress in my research, and knew that this was the store for me! Everyone I corresponded with was extremely helpful, and my dress came even quicker than I expected! It is such a stunning dress, and I cannot be more pleased! Thank you so much for such a fantastic, smooth, and friendly experience!

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!
