DISCLAIMER: Let me begin by reminding online buyers to ALWAYS READ THE RETURN POLICIES FIRST. There is nothing more frustrating than reading a slew of bad reviews that all could have been avoided because the customer didn’t read. If you don’t want to feel like you’ve been had, then cover yourself by taking the time to read through the fine print.

That being said, this dress was EXACTLY what I was looking for. I’m an economical bride, and just can’t imagine spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on a dress I’d only being wearing once. I came across this site and searched with my maid of honor until we finally decided on this beauty. She was in disbelief that the dress would only take 2-3 weeks to arrive (her mother is a seamstress.) She kept on insisting that I order the dress at least 6 months in advanced, but I put my faith in the websites promise. I took all my measurements (after I had eaten so it wouldn’t be too tight at the wedding. I’m an eater and I’m realistic.) I also requested a loop to hold my dress in case it got too hot (Florida outdoor wedding.) I was certainly skeptical of buying the dress because I had read so many bad reviews, but I realized that most of the bad reviews were from people that just bought the dress without reviewing the return policy first.

The dress arrived about 2 ½ weeks after order confirmation. It was the exact same color and style as depicted (I didn’t want a white or ivory dress), it had the loop I requested sewn in firmly, and it fit nearly perfectly, but was a little on the bigger side, which didn’t phase me since the money I saved on my budget dress was going to a seamstress for tailoring adjustments. There was some beading that was a little loose, but nothing that was going to change the integrity of the dress.

After tailoring adjustments, the total cost of the dress was about $460. I loved the dress. I felt beautiful in it. I would recommend this site for savvy buyers that want a chic and expensive looking dress for half the price (or in my case 70% off the price.) I plan on buying from La La Mira again. Hopefully, this review is helpful when making your purchase.

I got my dress and tried it on and this dress is far more beautiful in person than online.
