[QUOTE]I just received my dresses from 'convertiblewrapdress.com' aka Sugar Bits . I ordered six dresses in two sizes. One of my bridesmaids is pregnant so I sent an email asking how to order accordingly. I received a prompt response (no phone number to call... have to contact via the website contact form). I also wanted longer straps - all I had to do for the special requests was to complete the 'notes' section upon checkout. Done! Ordere placed on Aug. 13. Received and email staing that my items shipped but the detail on the shipping invoice was missing two dresses and two tube tops. So I emailed immediately and was told not to worry that all six dresses and tube tops were shipped (Aug. 28) So I wait. On Sept. 11 I email stating I STILL had not received my dresses and if they had a tracking number for the shipment. I did not receive an email response...I received a USPS shipping notification for September 11th!!!!! I received my dresses today, September 14 - a whole month later. I sent two subsequent emails requesting some for of explanation - Crickets.... I ordered the dresses in black. The material is more of a 'jersey knit' so if you are expecting the lighter rayon fabric with a slight sheen.... this is not your vendor. I tried on one of the dresses and they don't look bad on and I may still use them. As far as the elastic band...once you wrap the straps you cannot see it but it is a rather 'bulky' band. I think I would have had better luck on ETSY. Although, one of the Etsy sellers I contacted had such poor communciaiton that I had to cancel my order with her... her dresses were selling for $72.00. There is/was a livingsocial deal for VONVONNI.com for $59. The dresses runs $120.00 with Free US Shipping. The how to video is great on this websit and there is a no questions ask return policy. Hope this helps....

The dress material, like noted above, is like a really nice jersey knit. It hangs nicely, but it is not the normal shiney sikly material you see on bridesmaid dresses, which for me is fine since I don't care for that shiney material anyways, reminds me too much of prom dresses.
They are slow. My wedding is in July, and I am planning on ordering in January just to be safe. Emailing through their site didn't lead to replies, but when I directly emailed them I got quick responses. My first fabric sample got lost in the mail and they sent out a new one quickly.
I am nervous hearing about these lost and incomplete orders so I will be watching this thread too. Not sure what else I am going to do if these guys are duds because I have bridesmaids running from a small to a 5X (NONE of the highly rated etsy sellers can make a 5X dress (I already emailed them all) and I really don't want to impose more than 100 dollars on them for dresses. If anyone has other suggestions for a dress that is under 100, can be made all the way to 5X and can look okay on all those sizes PLEASE let me know.
I was searching for the same thing cos I bought from sugarbits and didnt like the fabric and the garter waist.
I bought from one seller from etsy at $30 together with shipment I paid $75 for one short convertible dress and the fabric was the same as twobirds and its amazing that there is no garter band on the waistband I dont know how to explain it but its stretches from small to large. They have two sizes though the size 2 is for 35" waistline and bigger.
i bought the light blue color and i love it... I will post a photo here for the elastic and fabric so you will see what i mean.

for size I ordered the size 1 and my waistline measures 27" and i think smaller waist can fit this dress up to 36" because I tried pulling it down to my butt which is 36"
Im ordering 8 dresses for my wedding in december this year.
I hope my sample ordering will help others too goodluck fellow brides!!!
Esty or sugarbits?
