Perfect dress for my micro wedding! The details on this dress are stunning and I absolutely love the length. I am 5' 5'' and ordered a US 6 on recommendation from an Olivia Bottega sales rep based on my measurements. I would usually order a size US 4, however, I am a true hourglass figure, with a small waist and slightly larger hips. I was instructed that the Size 6 would best accommodate my hips while also tightening enough to fit my waist and bust. For the most part that was true, but, even fully tightened, the bodice is too big for comfort (especially being months away from the big day). I am getting the dress tailored, but I was planning to do so anyway as wedding dresses rarely fit perfectly off the hanger. Overall, I am very satisfied with this purchase as far as quality, price range, and style. Would definitely recommend for any bride looking for something a bit non-traditional but still wanting the "bridal" feeling.
I was surprised to see that the plastic claw clip part of the veil came a teeny bit broken (decided it was not a total big deal since many hair stylist end up bending or teasing the plastic part anyway, to suit hairstyle) but I reached out to OB's customer service anyway to see if they would provide any feedback. They refunded partial amount and were remorseful about the item being damaged. I also got my dress from them and they were super helpful with the whole process. Overall, I love the look of the veil and dress!!!!!!
The dress came a little earlier than expected and the quality surpassed my expectations. Customer service was very quick and responsive. I kept getting compliments all day for my dress. Thank you for making feel like I’m the most beautiful bride!
I ordered the Mikado Wedding Dress Chloe with Front Slit - custom size, add pockets, and 1 button bustle. It took about 4 months to get it delivered, so if you would like to order custom dress from them, make sure to order it ahead of time.
Once I placed an order, their team reached out to me to confirm my measurements and customization (added pockets and 1 button bustle). They also double checked with me that I took the measurements with shoes/high heels which I am planning to wear during my wedding day. After I confirmed my measurements, it took about 3 months until I heard back from them. They sent me videos of the dress. I confirmed that everything looks great and then it took about a month to get it delivered. The dress was packed in a medium size box (I was actually surprised that the dress fitted in there), however they packed it very nicely and they added also protective dress bag with zipper that I can use for dress storage/traveling.
I tried the dress and I was very pleased that it fits just right! I do not need any additional alternations (which can be very expensive...) - this was my main reason why I wanted to buy a custom sized dress. The length of the dress is just right. The lace up back is awesome since I have plenty of flexibility to adjust it based on how I want (make it looser or tighter). The material feels really nice, it is thick and it has expensive feel. The dress is not too heavy, so I am not too worried about sliding it down during dancing, etc. (my dress does not have straps). In my opinion, even if it would be heavier, the boning of the corset would keep it in place.
Overall, I am very happy with my purchase and their customer service. I highly recommend Olivia Bottega's custom wedding dresses.

Super happy with the quality and design. Only downside was the delivery, the box was thrown over my fence and I had to rush home, as my dog would have destroyed it. I thought the parcel would need to be signed for due to its content.

My daughter is short and we couldn’t find the right dress in stores. I looked online and came across this dress. It fit perfectly, and even more beautiful in person!!!
The Cardi dress is absolutely beautiful. I received so many compliments and I felt amazing in it. I ordered it as a ready to ship dress in the size 24. The fit was spot on for me other than a little hemming because I am pretty short. The customer service was great. They made sure that my measurements were correct and were always available for questions. The dress came quickly and the quality was outstanding. It was thick and heavy. If you are hesitating about the dress please don’t. The quality and price point is unbeatable. The dress looks exactly like what you see on the site, train and all.
This veil was absolutely beautiful! It shipped relatively quick. Unfortunately it didn't match my dress as much as i thought it would so it was sad that i had to return it. But it was absolutely beautiful.
As someone whose grandmother was a wedding dress designer, I still can’t believe I bought my wedding dress without ever trying it on. However, it turned out to be the best decision I could have made. This is, by far, the most beautiful wedding dress I have ever dreamed of.
**THE DRESS**
I purchased the Divon dress as a base and then added all the customizations I wanted. These included a snatched waist, a different fabric under the corset, a train, detachable long sleeves adorned with pearls, an illusion tulle overlay on the shoulders to keep the dress in place effortlessly, among other changes.
The fabric is stunning and incredibly soft. The quality of the tulle and lace is so high, that you can crumple the fabric and it doesn't leave wrinkles or marks.
The color is gorgeous. It appears pale white in natural daylight but shines and twinkles when you are near any artificial light. Like a fairy!!!
(I highly recommend buying fabric samples before ordering your dress. This will help you make a decision more easily and allow you to see the incredible quality and feel of the materials.)
The lines, garment construction, attention to detail, and the patterns on the skirt are perfect. I can’t stress enough how well-made this dress is. Even my grandmother, who was skeptical, says the tailoring is magnificent.
I also bought the Royal Cathedral Enn veil.
**MY EXPERIENCE**
Initially, I was quite nervous because I had something very specific in mind. With all my changes, notes, and add-ons, I was worried I would get lost in translation and that it wouldn’t all come together. That’s where Alyona, the most amazing bridal assistant, came in to help. She paid attention to every change I made, assisted me in finding my fabrics and the type of skirt I wanted, recommended the best options, and always kept me calm and reassured. I'm talking about 20+ emails going back and forth until I felt 100% comfortable and happy with my dress.
Needless to say, she played a huge role in helping me feel at ease about taking the leap to purchase a dress I had never tried on or seen in person. So, thank you so much, Alyona! My dress is as beautiful as it is thanks to you 💖
I was also asked to review all the information, notes, and my address before sending it to production.
Weeks later I received a video of my dress. It was very detailed, and Elizabeth was so kind to send me extra close-ups after asking her a couple of questions.
In summary, I know it can be intimidating to buy things online, especially something as important as a wedding dress, but I highly recommend Olivia Bottega. From the fabrics to the designs and the wonderful people who work there, the experience is one of a kind.
(I will attach wedding pics after the wedding)
I 100% love the dress! Everyone complimented how gorgeous it was and how it made me look like a princess. 😍
Thank you! I will definitely order again. I'm obsessed with how sparkly it is!✨️✨️
Few notes: The back part was too bare for me, was hoping it would hide my back fats more. The snap buttons for the sleeves was genius but it kept popping off with slight movements so I actually just removed them. Lastly, a bit of warning for everyone: glitters will be everywhere 🤩
I love this dress! I can’t wait to wear it on my wedding day. The fabric in person is dreamy, photos don’t do this dress justice. I would 100% buy another dress from Olivia Bottega
