I began working on the design of my dress in October 2023 and finalized it before the end of the year, with my consultant to reach out in May/April to get my measurements for my September 2024 wedding. When she reached out, all details of my design had been lost and so I had to redo that entire lengthy design consultation process. I was told that the design would cost more than the originally quoted price (in writing). After back and forth and sharing the documented cost, I was able to get the original price. I requested a new consultant however was not granted the request.

I had in writing that the dress was to arrive no later than 8/1 in case I needed alterations (and I would also be out of state for a week the following week), however that date came and went. The dress was apparently "lost" in transit, and I spent hours on the phone trying to locate the dress. When it was finally located, it was overnighted with signature required while I was out of state with no one to sign for the package. I again spent hours on the phone to reschedule the delivery date for when I was home to sign. The new date came and went, no dress. More time on the phone, and I finally received my dress, almost 2 weeks past the agreed upon delivery date.

The dress did need alterations, and I scrambled to find someone. The alterations will be done 2 days before my wedding, and hopefully all will be well.

The dress is beautiful, however the sleeves did not come out at the length I had requested (and so are a little short) and the skirt length needs to be hemmed, despite paying extra for super custom sizing.

If I hadn't had so many stressful things happen surrounding the dress, I'd probably give it 4 stars for the dress alone.

I saw this dress online and was worried about purchasing a wedding dress without trying it on first. I looked at this gown every single day for a year before pulling the trigger and I do not regret it! This dress is absolutely stunning and unique! I was comfortable the entire night and got so many compliments. I am obsessed with this dress! So if you are like me and are skeptical just go for it because it may be the best decision you make! Good luck & happy wedding planning xo

My Dream came true with Ella dress
I have followed Olivia Bottega's Instagram for a long time, and the moment when I saw the Ella dress, I knew that it would be mine.
This is my first time ordering a dress from overseas and I had no idea how the process was going to be taken. I doubted everything, but with help from Katherine, all of my concerns were eased away. She is such an enthusiastic consultant that I have ever had. She answered all my questions with care. I was so lucky to have you as my consultant.
The dress fits me perfectly and I can't wait to wear it on my wedding day (my wedding is 10 months ahead).
Thanks, Olivia Bottega team for bringing me perfect experiences.

This dress is everything in the photos and even more beautiful in person! It's not uncomfortable and honestly not as heavy as I thought it would be.
