Hi, I'd like to start by saying I love to support black owned businesses and have for years. I'm in a Wedding in May 2025 and purchased my bridesmaid dress through Inalim for $354 on Aug. 21st 2024. Measurements were requested so I assumed the dresses would be customized to fit. I had no communication with the owner until I reached out to inquire about my dress on January 14th. 2025. Needless to say I received my dress on February 3rd without the bride being able to approve or see it first (which was suppose to happen) before being shipped to me. I know now that was to avoid having to reorder or take accountability for providing an inaccurate sized dress. It's about 2 sizes too big in width and length. I reached out to inquire if alterations were included in the price, for I was willing to travel to have that done but was told alterations were not available in so many words. I'm the same size all year around so I wasn't concerned with the dress ever not fitting me properly initially. However, I purchased a dress that I'm unable to fit and alterations to it by someone else would be a few hundred more dollars. None of the bridesmaids in the Wedding received dresses they can fit, none of them!!!! The bride has come out of her pocket to now replace 6 dresses which is beyond saddening. The wedding is weeks away and the stress that has come about to us as well as the her I wouldn't wish on anyone. I have no use for this dress, so I want to thank you Inalim for an unforgivable experience and for taking my money to support your business with no alternate options for me. read more
