If you’re considering purchasing from this company, I STRONGLY suggest lying to them about your graduation date. Do it. Tell them it’s earlier than it actually is. I ordered three weeks in advance knowing this item was backordered, just as noted on the site. I told them my honest graduation date, and they stupidly set it as the “deliver by” date. Lo and behold, my gown was delivered ON my graduation day……AFTER all my ceremonies had ended. Had to wear the cheap crap the school provided instead, I was so angry. What a waste of almost $80 after tax+shipping to buy this and not even get to wear it for my big day! If a customer gives you their honest graduation date, set the delivery date AT LEAST a day before.
As for the quality of the gown itself, the construction is sturdy and heavy, but also a little hot to wear. Some extra thread dangling about here and there, but not undoing the stitching. The sleeves are extra long which adds a premium look and feel, and the shoulders are also a little padded to retain shape. Good quality overall and especially for the price but be warned, this company did NOT deliver on time.
