Vintage Tea Length Pleated Lace Wedding Dress with Sleeves

We planned our wedding—more of an elopement—in one month. I found this dress online, originally at Etsy, and fell in love, especially considering the affordable price compared to other options! Wendy was great to work with (via email), and the made-to-order dress arrived in plenty of time as a rush order. Do follow their recommendation of using a tailor for measurements. We did it at home due to our tight timeframe, and the dress was WAY too big upon delivery. Thankfully a local seamstress was able to help out on our timeline and took the dress in 1-5 inches in places. Yikes! She also sewed in the sash, which was fantastic given that it also was far too large. I’m only docking one star due to some marks on the dress upon delivery. Thankfully the seamstress was able to steam them out. It also would be great if a sewn-in sash was an option for the made-to-order dresses. Overall, I was very pleased and happy! I would recommend this shop to other brides.

I was a bit nervous at first about ordering a dress online without trying it on, but I was SO in love with this style and can't find it in most dress stores (and who could beat this price??). I emailed Wendy my measurements, she assured me that it could be done in time (ordered February for June wedding). I was worried about measurements since I had to measure myself with my partner's help. I tried on the dress as soon as I got it and was amazed. Fits perfectly and the quality is great! It is comfortable and adorable - exactly what I wanted. I got the sash that was offered with it and am so happy I did (saved time, money and it looks great - it helped set the tone for the jewelry and made that process easier, too). I had pockets put in, and it was worth it (so cute!!!). When I first started dress shopping, I thought I would have to settle for something I could afford and put up with not being 100% in love with my dress. But I feel like a princess in it and can't wait to wear it for my wedding. It is a beautiful dress that I absolutely adore and happened to be priced within my range. HUGE THANK YOU to IEIE Bridal for creating such a beautiful dress that I feel amazing in.

Let me start by saying first off the dress is beautiful and it's made very well. However I was asked for my measurements and then I was asked to confirm my measurements but then the dress was not made to my measurements. I had to take it to have it altered because it is 4in too short from being able to close in the back. We are having to take out all of the material in hopes that we will have enough to get it to close and if not we're going to have to find somewhere on the dress to cut material off in order to get it to work. Very disappointed that it was not made at least to the the measurements I gave when confirming correct measurements was stressed so heavily.

This dress is absolutely beautiful and very well made! The material is thick and high quality. I made two customizations to the dress - I lengthened the sleeves and had the hemline changed so all the layers were flush (instead of having the lace over hang the other layers). The customizations are exactly as I asked.

This dress was exactly what I was looking for in a wedding dress. Everyone I've showed so far loves it and the dress is great quality! I'm so glad that I was able to customize it and add a pop of color. I had it custom made for my size and it fits perfectly!
