• “The dress is fabulous!!!! I picked it up on Tuesday from my post office. I now understand why was encouraging me to provide detailed measurements as opposed to just a size because I'm a bit bustier than most women. LOL. I'll get my detailed measurements for the next dress I order from you. I'm hoping that you will have an emerald green phoenix and dragon pattern soon. Thank you so much for such excellent customer service! continually went out of her way to answer my questions and help me with my order! And your follow-up is superb!
