I ordered this gown for my upcoming maternity pictures. I was worried about shipping time so I did pay for expedited shipping. I placed my order on a Friday & by Wednesday the gown was at my door. This maternity gown/robe is absolutely gorgeous. There is a reason that it is so expensive - the quality is unmatched & looks handmade. It did arrive with a very bad odor - I couldn’t even try it on. I ended up folding it back up in the same fashion that it arrived & washed it in the washing machine in a garment bag on the delicate cycle. I laid it out flat on a large table & let a fan blow on it overnight. The next morning it was completely dry & the smell is gone! Would definitely purchase from this company again! :)
