Dear Sara, Thank you so much for your enthusasitc review of the dress. Yes - I agree JT dresses are not cheap, but we strive to make and sell them at 'the right price' . All our dresses are carefully made in small batches in the UK as Justine is passsionate about supporting all the wonderful manufacturing capabilities we have at home + reducing the carbon footprint of each piece. Frustraingly, this way of doing buiness does not come easy or cheap, but non-the-less it is what we belive in. Always we strive to create very well made dresses, using good quality fabrics in timeless styles; we hope our customers wear them year after year and get the maxium value out of their purchase. Eliz x
