@darah___a:

"I'm all up for fashion designers getting paid their worth but this is equal to a ripoff. The waistline is poorly seamed & pressed. At that price, I shouldn't see one stitch at the hem of the skirt. The finishing is too basic for a high end pret-a-porter."

@Tejumola__:

"I don’t even care about the price but this is a poorly sewn dress."
