OH YES BUYER BEWARE! My daughter wanted to go to one more dress shop and try dresses. ""Formerly Yours"" was the place we ended up. She decided on a dress because they assured her that they would be able to remove the corset and put in a zipper, every dress is different don't let them tell you this. They ordered a size 12 and she is a 4. The reasoning sounded ok at first, they needed the extra fabric to put in the zipper. The more I thought about it the more concerned I became. Once the dress was in and we met with their seamstress, I was really concerned too, about the zipper showing and in her words ""I use invisible zipper"". I sent several emails to her about the dress, don't cut the hem for one. I just had a bad feeling about the whole thing. Once we went for the fitting my fears came true. \r
She put in the zipper like she said but by no means was it invisible. The first 2 inches at the top was but that was all and on top of that it was a white zipper in an ivory dress. I will do some couture hand sewing to fix the zipper but to fix the lines the top would have to come off and be reworked to fit her size 4, not 12, bodice. \r
This was an awful experience, so awful that the whole wedding has changed, place and even the dress. If your only concern is money by all means go, the prices are reasonable but choose wisely. Get a dress that only will need to be taken in and nothing else!!!!!! They promise the moon and deliver much much less. \r
I will fix the zipper but if you are a size 4 and have the height of a 12 ( 5.6 to 5.7) we have a dress for sale with a free veil. \r
If you would like a wonderful bridal shop event please go to Myrtle Beach and visit The Little White Dress, it was better than our trip to Lori's Bridal. \r
