Leighton Meester Burgundy Strapless Mermaid Evening Prom Dress Gossip Girl

SO... I have photos back from my wedding and wanted to post them for anyone interested. I posted the last review (ordered this dress in black) and would HIGHLY recommend you order this dress. It was AMAZING!

Well overall, I have to say I love the dress in terms of quality (boning, construction, lining, etc.) and price. I'd say this dress should probably be worth more considering how well-made it is. I ordered it for my prom (which is on April 20th) around February 9th 2013 and it shipped to my home in California on March 15th, it came in perfect time. I ordered it in custom size as I am somewhat petite. The only issue, however, is that it seems the material they (The Celebrity Dresses) seems to be different than the one Leighton Meester's dress is made of. Its more of a shiny-ish material. Instead of a chiffon/silky/matte/soft/organza-ish material as seen in the Leighton photos. Also, the tail is a little different, instead of going in a rose petal motion, its more like flowing strips of fabric. Surprisingly though, I like it still. The top part (neckline/stomach area) is almost idential though, as well as the color almost identical, and I am impressed. Well worth the price. I also uploaded some pictures to my Photobucket, made soley for the reason of showing pictures. Love it!

I received my ivory dress today, which is about a month of my purchase date. The dress itself is well made and the dress had no shine to it as most people would comment on the burgundy dress, but I ordered mine in ivory and I must say it looks elegant. There are a few things I was disappointed about questioned the customer service. First, it is NOT an exact replica of the Leighton dress. The bottom of dress did not have that rose petal but a bunch of handkerchief- like throughout the dress. Second, they were good about adjusting to my request, which is to add an inch width shoulder straps. However, they changed it to a sweetheart top which is not what I asked for. The train is super long (perfect for when I walk down the aisle), but since it is not copied from a wedding dress, it doesn't have the strings to make the train shorter for the reception (I can probably find a way to do this myself anyway). Last, I ordered my dress a few inches smaller than I really am because I'm trying to shed some inches =) . I had it customized but the dress is still big. I know I didn't lose that much weight or inches so I was kind of disappointed that I have to get the dress altered. With the measurements I gave them, I know I would have to squeeze in to this dress but I didn't even have trouble zipping it up myself. So, now I have to get it altered. Oh well... overall a good dress for the price but not really what I was looking forward to.

This dress is really beautiful, I ordered it for my engagement part with custom size and it fitted perfectly. They were really efficient in delivering the dress on the promised date. The only thing I can change is the length of the train it was too long so I had to shorten it a little bit. Other than that it is amaziiiiinnnnggggg

I want to buy this amazing dress. Does anyone have photos of this dress ? please email me olly.balmero@hotmail.de
thank you much.

So I received my dress and I was super excited to open it! I purchased the dress March 4th and received it today on April 16th. It's been about 5 weeks and 2 days which is in their time frame however they had some delays. I would advise anyone who wishes to order this dress to order it a month prior just to be safe. My prom is this Saturday April 20th so I was super worried about the arrival time. Anyways like I said the dress is absolutely stunning. Compared to the pic the dress isn't an exact replica but close enough. The only difference is one, the train in the pic is in a rose petal motion compared to when you receive it. It's like layers of fabric strips but much more elegant than it sounds. I was looking forward to the rose petal but the dress still looks amazing. Two, on the dress there is a shine to the fabric that is not shown in the picture. It does not bother me though personally. As mentioned before, the train is extremely long and will need to be tailored if it's for anything besides a wedding dress(will be great for pics lol). Overall this dress is absolutely gorgeous and beautiful! I would consider buying from here again despite the sketchy reviews about the website and its validity. Ill make sure to purchase dress earlier next time around though! Ill be glad to send pics if requested at my email:

I ordered this dress in black and am thrilled with the results. Just like the other reviews posted, this is not an exact replica. The differences are: the skirt does not have the beautiful rose petal look of the original photos, but instead has squares of fabric sewn onto the skirt; the fabric has a slight sheen to it (at least the black does); HUGE train (if you do not specify any changes, the train is 3-4' long).

The skirt is beautifully done - the squares of fabric have finished edges, are well attached to the skirt, and there are plenty of them for volume. Wish it had the rose petal look - I would re-order the dress if that were the case!

The overall construction is fantastic. The dress is fully lined and the bodice has boning, but do consider purchasing a bodice-style bra to give the best shape and structure to the dress. I picked up a bustier this past weekend and am going to have a few alterations made to make the dress fit absolutely perfect.

Highly recommend this dress. Will try to upload photos after my event.

The dress is beyooooond what i expected and i can't wait to wear it for an engagement photoshoot. I am now looking at ordering another dress from The Celebrity Dresses. I recommend this site!

PS. I appreciate the girls who bravely shared links of the photo of this dress. It helped me make the decision to buy it.

Amazing dress, can someone send me a photo of the actual dress please?? ty_tang87@hotmail.com

Absolutely fantastic! I cannot overstate my pleasure with this company!

The gown is absolutely beautiful and fits like a glove, thanks to the custom size!

I also cannot overstate the quality of the customer service! This was my first time ordering anything more expensive than a book online and I kept the customer service team busy requesting for constant updates. Despite my constant barrage of questions, they were always very helpful and professional, putting me at ease. They also responded extremely quickly and efficiently.

The dress was shipped a little later than expected , and I was extremely anxious at that point, as there was slightly less than 3 weeks between the day I ordered the dress and when I required it. The customer service was extremely helpful and kept me updated, soothing my worries.

Aside from the time worries, everything was extremely smooth and good. I'd definitely be shopping with thecelebritydresses again and will be recommending them to everybody I know!
