I knew I wanted a short and/or vintage inspired dress from the get go and loved Stephanie James but she is out of my price range and didn't return an email which annoyed me (silly, but true). I also like Dolly couture but am worried about having a custom gown made for myself. I am 5'5 and a half and wear a street size 14-16 and tend to be proportionally top heavy. If any of you curvier ladies have used her, please let me know how it turned out or what your experience w/her was. she has great reviews, but, I'm still tentative. She has lots of real brides posted on her fb of all different shapes and sizes, but none wearing the style(s) I prefer for myself. Also, did her finished product look cheap since her price points are so low?
