I like some of the dresses on 1koo and read about them in the book, but I think they have changed since the book was written. Does anyone know anything about this company?

I just got the dress that I ordered off www.1koo.com and I'm pretty happy with the results. I found the same dress on theknot.com in the $3000-5000 price range, but I only paid $200 (including express shipping & custom tailoring). They were quick, professional, and even let me know when I measured incorrectly!

The quality is great; much better than I was anticipating. The fabric has some weight, there are no flaws in the seams, and the beads are sewn on tightly.

As for the downfalls, they did use a cheap zipper. The fitting around the bust is awful, but that could be due to a measuring error on my part. (I think this can be altered to fit better) The beading around the bust also looks a little tacky, but you'd have to look at it really closely to notice.

All in all, I'm happy with my dress. It more of less looks like the picture. If you're not that picky, I wold recommend using these guys. I would really recommend them if you want a simple gown.

I want to have my dress custom designed. I'm so picky I can't find "the one" The bodice is covered with lots of fine beading, like Mori Lee style #2820. I'm looking for a place that can do quality beadwork, where the beads are sewn on securely & are of decent quality.

Any recommendations? Has anyone ordered a dress like this? Were you happy with the results? Which site is best for this?

Any replies will be greatly appreciated!
