BM dresses have arrived!

My daughter's bridesmaid dresses have arrived from China!
They're sitting here in their plastic package staring at me - I have to wait until she's home and then me and 2 of the bm's are going round to try them on!:j
They should look like this

    Yes, I'd really appreciate seeing pics too. A friend is being a BM for her friend, and Lazaro themselves have stopped making the dresses so if they look fab I'll pass it on to her :D

    Hi Girls,
    Sorry I haven't got back sooner, we stayed on to do some wedding stuff!
    As Linda has said before the fabric quality probably isn't as good as the original may have been but it's not shoddy by any means, the seams are a little untidy and could have been finished better and the ribbon and flower are a little heavier than on the original but overall well made; the bodice is well shaped and has support with inner 'bra straps' iykwim. The skirts look a little puffy but it's just creases and they settled the longer the girls wore them (they didn't want to take them off! lol). You can see that the bm in the pic definately isn't the model and she felt really comfy in the dress - she was smiling but I promised not to show her face ;)
    So, here they are - what do you think?
