I had an excellent experience with this supplier! They customized my order using the fabric of my choice and even shortened the garment to suit my height. I needed this piece to complete my outfit to wear to my daughter's wedding. It's stunning!
This dress is HUGE. I ordered by bust size. It does fit in the bust but it's HUGE everywhere else. I don't think I'll return it because I'm not sure how much a return would cost and how long it would take. I may take the dress to a taylor.
Well I went to return it today...the cheapest rate was $44....and the address I was given for the return.....was very hard for the shipping place to figure out. I'll be keeping the dress...maybe have it altered if possible
Really beautiful top. Unfortunately slightly small for me. Not your fault. I will ask my tailor here in the UK to adjust - it only needs a slight adjustment on the bust. Thank you so much

I am satisfied with my purchase but the process of getting it was grueling. Having to go back and forth with the emails and physically going to DHL in New York just to be told that they did not have the item was not good. It finally came so thank you.
At ANKA, we do not believe in the myth of predefined sizes. Each body is different and deserves an outfit just as unique. Therefore, to use this guide, we recommend using your measurements in inches (as explained below) rather than the "4 to 22" sizes.
From there you can select the corresponding international size for your order, and each seller will then be able to make sure to send the PERFECT fit for YOU!

Sleeves are a different colour around the edge and looks a bit different.
Overall isn't bad though.
