I have had so much trouble formulating this review. The main reason is because I haven’t been able to find the words to adequately do justice to this purchase and how I feel about the final result…
How do you describe something that when you put it on, you can’t stop smiling? Something that makes you walk taller, maybe even do a joyous twirl for the sheer pleasure. I never knew I’d be able to wear such a garment or that there was one that would fit my body and personality so well. This is my dream dress, one that someone helped dream up for me! And I am never waking up!
Being the Etsy enthusiast that I am, (etsy is an online marketplace for homemade product deliciousness for all those who are still stuck in the stone age)I happened upon AmiTaf shop months ago. This sister features some wonderful garments that can be tailored to fit. Many of which were beautiful abayaat. I had never been an abaya girl, but I knew when I saw this dress that I had to have it with sleeves…The seller worked with me.
She was courteous, enthusiastic, and very detail oriented. She went above and beyond to find me the perfect pink color (remember how I was dying for a pink abaya here) and she proceeded to make me the most beautiful piece of clothing I have ever worn.
There is something about custom work that really speaks to me. You can’t find this type of dress in any store. Factories are fast, neglectful, and sometimes sellers are more concerned with the revenue and the sale rather than the customer. I see beautiful things for sale all the time, but when I put it on, I know it was made for a less womanly woman lol, I got curves people and I don’t want to look larger because of it! But this dress, my Scrumptiously Ruffle Soufflé Gown is unmatched in execution.
Every seam is beautiful and the sweep of the skirt is unbelievably voluminous. It pulled the little girl inside me out and all doubt and critical negativity I had about my beauty fell off like forgotten leaves for new growth. Thank you AmiTaf!!!!!
p.s-details about the rest of my outfit.
