I had really had high hopes for Belle. I ordered one to see if it was what it was advertised as. The fit is perfect for me, not too loose and not too tight, anywhere, on this one, and I’d love to have concluded that I should order it in lots of colors…except that it’s falling apart on the first wear worse than any piece I have yet received. The seam allowances in the bodice are so slim that the VERY thin front panel fabric can’t handle it. The entire section will rip out rapidly, very obviously, it’s pulling apart at every edge. It’s not because I need a larger size, it’s because the materials and workmanship are just flat sub-par. Why would you use thin gauze for the bodice panel? $80 down the drain, and yet another sewing project delivered by HolyClothing, instead of a new piece. Hopefully I can reinforce the bodice with a panel behind the breast, so that it isn’t instant trash. This stuff keeps getting worse, and I’m about to quit ordering altogether over it. The designs are great, but not if they can’t be worn without finishing/repair, half the time. There has been an issue like this with every other piece I have ordered in the last year, and I’ve got quite a lot. Quality control has apparently been lost.
Hi Bethany, we've replied to your email and have offered to make you a new Belle Maxi Overdress ❤️
I ordered my usual size, which usually fits with a little negative ease. I cannot get this dress over my shoulders, let alone my bust. Its tag says Large, but this fits my size 4 teenager, so fits like a small. It's gorgeous and well made, but completely un-wearable by me.
