Provided by YP.comThe Dresses at the English Department are pretty, so pretty in fact I bought two and neither one of them fit, and one even makes me look a little trampy. Another warning you are also unable to return them a little detail they leave out when you order them.
I bought two dresses at the English Department for weddings this summer. After I specifically had one request and one request only don't make me look trashy in my best friends wedding. Well I got a dress that did just that. The front slit is about 5 inches lower than what they told me and the dress is too tight. I didn't wear it and had to buy a new dress for the wedding. Thank god for a flexible bride. I called the English Department back and their response was having it taken out, and they would not take it back because supposedly they are made to order.
I just got my dress for the next wedding once again the dress is too tight. Even though they took my measurements and I specifically blew out my stomach to make sure it would fit, and I have lost 10 lbs since my original measurements but nope too tight.
As for their insightful solution to take it out. The seams are too small to take out, you get stuff taken in not out. So thanks to the English Department I now own $600 worth of too little fabric.
