A plug for hollow-to-hem and custom fit dresses

Hi everyone-

Just wanted to tell everyone how wonderful hollow-to-hem dresses are. I ordered mine from Casablanca, and because of all of the beadwork, they had to order it 'hollow-to-hem', meaning, they measure you from the bottom of you neck to the floor, and cut the dress to that length. For my dress, they also did a 'custom fit' when I ordered it.

Basically, I have NO alterations AT ALL to do. It came in perfectly. AND, in total, the dress was only $900.

It's hard to tell in this picture, but here's the dress. It has a lot more detail than this dress let's on.

Just wanted to tell anyone still looking for a dress, that hollow-to-hem and custom fits can be great! Oh, and that I had a great experience ordering from Casablanca!

WOW! Thanks for the plug. I had to order my dress hollow-to hem and I'm nervous about it being too long! I posted a pic so you can see. I go tomorrow to try it on.

Did they order a size that's normally bigger than what you wear? That's what they did to me so I'm sure i'll need alterations. TIA

Because they did it custom, they ordered it exactly to my measurements. For example, they measured those straps, so they were exactly the right length and fit my shoulders.

My guess is that if they measured you hollow to hem, but ordered you a size up, the length should still be correct, but they'll have more room to play with everywhere else- if need be. I wouldn't worry- the bottom is the hardest part to try to fix. Plus, you can always vary your heel height on your shoe to make the dress work.

Good luck with your fitting! Your dress is very pretty!

Mine was hollow-to-hem and the length is perfect. I do have to get the waist taken in though minewasn't custom fit.

Agreed! You also have to bring your shoes with you to order the dress. I didn't know that.
