I received my first dress. I adore it and the fit is perfect. I'll post pics as soon as I can.
Would you mind posting a picture when you get a chance?
I've been toying with the idea of buying one of her repros and would love to see some of her work. :)

I sure will. I was a little worried just because my porportions are odd, but I think it fits and draps fabulously and the fabric was nicer than I thought it'd be.

I am not sure where to post this but I have been searching the web for a better picture of this dress. Lucile Ball wears it in the movie Meet The People. I have the movie but don't have the ability to do screen captures. Does anyone have a better picture of Lucy in this dress? I must have it made. I love it and need it and all that jazz.

Oh man, I love some of the stuff that TopRunway is showing. I do have a question for you ladies that have had her make some things for you: what's the quality like? I'm a little leery of custom online shopping, as you don't always know the kind of quality you're going to get. But since some of you have her pieces, what are they like?

I certainly hope they are good since i just ordered three pieces! Honestly, I have no control with clothing. But I figure she has over 2000 orders and still has 100% rating! So, she must be doing something right.

Yeah, I can definitely agree with that. I'll have to look into getting something made to be the real test, but it seems like a good deal.

Oh, I WANT! I'd order one right away if it wasn't for the cost of shipping - £24, that's almost as much as the suit itself. Is there no way of having it shipped by a cheaper option, like 2nd class or something?
I don't know if I can justify it...

...but I so want!

I've just received my first dress from Toprunway and I couldn't be happier with it. I order the Liz in purple and it's gorgeous, she's done a great job. I'll post some pictures when I get a chance.

How long did it take to get your dress?
I'm waiting on mine and am very impatient lol

It took just over 3 weeks, but that was also including some mix up over e-mails which I think delayed the process a few days!
If my dress is anything to go by, it's worth the wait!
