I was thinking about doing this too, since every girl wants her dream dress but not be out a ton of money, right? A friend had done this and was completely happy with her dress. She was able to custom it, she had emailed the company with pictures of different dresses, putting together an idea of exactly what she wanted. A mock dress was made out of cheap material so she was able to tell them to adjust it. When the dress came, it looked and fit her perfectly.
