I ordered a dress from Darius Cordell Couture in 2007, and had a wonderful experience. They were pleasant and easy to deal with

Wheeeeee I just received my order. (You folks were scaring me there for a few days J )
What can I say? It is absolutely gorgeous. Exactly what I wanted!!!
I really like how the beading worked out, and the shimmer and flow of the skirt is just a marvel.
Thanks again just a marvelous dress!

Hi David,

I love it! The gown is simply wonderful. It was an exact fit and the workmanship was exquisite. I absolutely consider you my designer of choice and will not hesitate to order from you in the future. If anyone needs a reference, you are free to direct them to me.

Thank you so much for following up! It was an amazing day and my dress looked wonderful! I can't begin to tell you how many compliments I received and comments from people telling me that my dress was very original, classic looking and fit my personality and taste perfectly. The dress fit like a glove and no alterations were necessary. It was, hands-down, the best formal dress experience I have had. Thank you again for helping to make this day so perfect!

With love, Lee Anne Kirk

Hello

Just want to let you know the dress arrived safely. I won't see it for another couple of weeks but everyone is telling me it is gorgeous. I was amazed that it came through customs without me having to pay any duties or taxes.

The additional money has been sent. Please let me know when it arrives.

Thanks for all your help, the service was brilliant in what was an oddly awkward situation.

Thanks again

You have no idea how pleased I am with my gown. I will definately send you pictures of me in it as it is gorgeous!!! I have already referred your website to a friend of mine who is getting married in March of 2009. My husband was in complete shock when he saw it as well. I look at it everyday and can not wait until the 24th of May to wear it.

Not only did it arrive in plenty of time for my wear date, but it is EXACTLY as i specified it down to the material, the lining, and the thread!!

Thank you so very much as I am very very pleased with the outcome. This was my very first experience in ordering a designer gown, and the very first time I have purchased any garment without trying it on!! It is perfect!! This will not be my last experience with you.

Your staff has been marvelous, understanding, and very helpful. You are all to be commended for your professionalism and expertise so please pass my thanks on. Feel free to add my comments to your website as I want everyone who visits your website to know that you can not go wrong with a Darius Cordell design!

An extremely satisfied Customer,

Dear Hunter,

I just received my dress in the mail yesterday -- I LOVE IT! It's just everything I thought I would want and more. The cut is so ridiculously close; I only have a few minor alterations to have done. Thank you so much for your help with this. I am certainly happy I went with your company!

I do plan to get the word out about this among my group of opera friends. I hope you get responses!

Thank you and all of the team at Darius Cordell for bringing such a fabulous dress to life,

The dress worked out perfectly. It was a size to big, but my tailor did a great job sizing it for me.

Hello David ,

Thank you for your message. The dress is beautiful and fits perfectly. I especially like the detail on the jacket.

Thank you for all your help thus far.

David:
Although I got concerned about receiving my dress for the wear date I did get it the day before (almost too close for comfort). However, I must say the dress is absoulutely gorgeous. My mother was a professional designer and seamstress for years so believe me when I say the dress and workmanship was without flaw. My daughter designed the dress for me and she was thrilled when we opened the package and her original sketch was taped to the outside. You made her vision a lovely reality. I tried on the dress and all my husband could say was "WOW" and after 28 years of marriage that is a great compliment. But the best compliment came from my daughter. She said "Mom, when I get married that is the dress I want you to wear." It just can't get any better than that.

Thanks so very much, D. Bell - Blyththeville, Ar

It is magnificent!! And a perfect fit! Im totally in love with it! Even my Brazilian fancy shoes are a perfect match for my beautiful dress! I just had to send you the pictures that my husband took of me, yesterday.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Dear Hunter.

Just returned from my trip to find the beautiful gown in my closet. I'll be taking it next week for alterations. Thank you. My husband and daughter think it is beautiful. Thank you for repairing the star and replacing some of the stones. My first couture dress. WOW!!

Thank you so very much for being so responsive to my situation!! The dress arrived in perfect condition --- a little wrinkled. It actually fits very well ---- a little hem, nip and tuck here and there and it will be perfect!! I am so very grateful to my daughter for finding your website -----the quality and design of the dress is wonderful!! Again, thank you for rescuing me ----I am so looking for to wearing the gown at the ball!! D. Green - Morgantown, WV

The sketch is what I had understood the fabrics would be. The construction of the dress is exactly how I had pictured it--and it is beautiful.

I thank you for your excellent customer service, from what I have recently experienced it seems to be a rare commodity within the bridal shop industry (condescending attitudes, "I'm doing you a favor" demeanors).

I just wanted to say how absolutely fantastic your website is. I've been on hundreds of wedding dress websites and none of them come nearly close to being as user-friendly as yours. The pictures are wonderful, your Q&A section was direct and to the point and comprehensive. Excellent job!

Hello very nice people at Darius Cordell Couture,

I would have likely ordered #1095 in stead of my original choice. However I found something locally that will do for my occasion. Your gowns are lovely and next time I will order directly from you. I thank you for your fantastic response and assistance.

Cathy. Gilbert - St Albert , Alberta , Canada

Hi David,

I received the dress today and it is lovely--everything I wanted. I look forward to ordering from you again. I appreciate all your help.

Sincerely,
P. Jefcoat - Little Mountain, SC

At this time I do not plan to order this dress. I will keep your site bookmarked and continue to be awed by your beautiful work. I often have occasion for formal and I am glad I found you on the internet. Thank you for your quick and thorough response.

Thank you very much for all of your wonderful e-mails. Im all set with what I will be wearing. Your fashions are fabulous.

Since the mid 90's we have sold hundreds of darius cordell couture evening gowns & custom wedding dresses per year through our very simple mail order process (using our on on line catalog) to many new and repeat clients. But unfortunately, ever so often a client may overlook some of the information we present to them and then may become frustrated, embarrassed or overwhelmed. Obviously we do not want this to happen. We want all of our clients happy and to enjoy the proven simple and easy process. So, to avoid any client becoming disgruntled, frustrated or confused - and because this is probably a very important made to order purchase (not something off the rack or from a warehouse) - we strongly urge all potential clients to take their time to read (and understand) all of the extremely important information we present to them on our Q & A page. If this is done then we are more than certain we will be able to add your name to this prestigious list of satisfied paying clients who have received their made to order evening gowns as we disclosed prior to their order and were more than pleased with the results.

To obtain the link to our Q & A page please contact us. We will then reply to your inquiry via email or phone to begin the process.

Thank You Sincerely,
