My daughter and I went HC dress shopping at a small boutique . She found a dress she absolutely loved but it had a rip and some zipper issues . Long story short I was not willing to pay over $400 for a dress that has been tried on over and over again and was not in great shape . We went home sad but I was a determined mom . I got home and started researching the dress and style online and found it for 1/3 of the cost on couturecandy.com , it was on sale and I knew we could not return it but it was worth the risk . I paid for 3 day shipping . The dress indeed came within three days. Straight from the designer , in the box and bag labeled from the designer and was the EXACT dress in PERFECT brand new condition . You have made on happy mama and one happy girl ! Thank you so much .
