We’re very sorry that the dress you received didn’t meet your expectations, especially for something as important as a pageant. We’ve re‑checked your photos alongside our original listing, and the sleeve pattern is indeed the same design. However, we fully understand that what matters is how the dress looks in person, not in a studio photo. Lighting, camera angle and the way the sleeves sit on the arm can make them appear wider or lower than in the model photos, and we clearly did not communicate that well enough.
Our dresses are handmade, and the embellishments (including the gems on the sleeves) are applied one by one. This makes the construction more complex, but that is an explanation—not an excuse. You should not see glue strings or feel that the result looks “cheap.” Your case has been shared directly with our production and quality‑control teams so we can tighten our standards on hand‑applied decorations and finishing, and with our content team so we can show more realistic, non‑studio angles for future products.
We regret that the resolution process felt long and frustrating and that we didn’t leave you with a better impression of our service, even after a partial refund was agreed. Your review is very important to us; it highlights where we need to improve, and we are committed to doing better so that more customers are genuinely happy with both the product and the support they receive.
If there is anything further we can do or if you’d like to share additional suggestions, please contact us. Thank you for helping us see where we need to improve.
