This awful woman committed to making my dream dress, charged me for it and then sent me something that did not fit me, that did not even come close to the design and was laughable. She refused to refund me and took months to even get back to me. Do not use this shop. read more

DO NOT ORDER A DRESS FROM ASHLEY!! She is a complete fraud. I ordered a dress from Ashley on 4/23/17. I asked if I could cancel my order and she said no, but that she would try to re-sell the dress for me. I have demanded so many times for her to send me the dress that she made since I already paid for it, and here we are almost two years later, she still won't send it. I contacted FedEx and UPS who confirmed there are no packages on the way. Ashley is an absolutely horrible human being, and has done this to so many others. Beware - she absolutely takes advantage of brides to be. read more

So disappointed in this company. I ordered a flower dress girl paid $50 and that same dress is on ebay for $19 bucks coming from China. I should have ordered it from China, it would have arrived much sooner. I have sent a couple of emails asking for the status on this dress and nothing! They keep sending me a track your shipment and per the location its still at the store. DO NOT buy from this place you will find the same dress on ebay or Amazon and you will pay less. read more

I first came across the faded sunflower when I was looking for wedding dresses 1/2017. I was in love with a dress that was out of my price range and was so excited when I realized that the faded sunflower claimed to create designer replicas. I read Ashley's great reviews and decided to reach out. I emailed her a picture of the dress I wanted and asked if this was something she could replicate it and if so what she would charge. She responded and said she could and would charge me $800. I was so excited! I paid in advance and she said that she would let me be a part of the whole process. She told me she would send me samples of everything before beginning on my dress. That never happened. She also did not stick with the timeline she gave me. I wasn't too worried about it and was more anxious about what my dress would look like. When I received it I was not very happy.. sad actually. When we first talked I told her that there was some design changes that I wanted done to the dress to cover large scars that I have due to surgery. Those requests were ignored. So there I stood in a dress 5 times too big and all of my scars were showing. I was very unhappy with the material choice as well as the bead choice. If I had been included in those decisions like I was told I could have been happier with that part. I did take a month before reaching out again and my reason was to try and figure out if I even wanted to try and salvage this wedding dress. Since I had already paid I figured I shouldn't spend more money and give her the chance to fix it. We talked on the phone she promised me the changes wouldn't be a problem and she wanted me happy. She gave me a date in which I would receive my dress. That date came and went. I wrote an email about getting an update on my dress and she gave me a new date. That came and went. This process happened multiple times. I finally received the dress nine days before my wedding. It was the most hideous thing I had ever seen. I sent her a picture of myself in the dress and told her I couldn't believe she would expect me to wear this to my wedding. She offered to refund all of my money. That was in September 2017. She has yet to refund me anything after making multiple promises to do so. I have heard every excuse imaginable. I am currently look into legal options to get my money back. I just hope no one else falls for her scam of a business. read more

It took a very long time to get the dress. There was not very much contact, and the pictures she sent to show me were not my dress. It was too big and I need to get it altered. I would not recommend read more

Catfish of wedding dresses. Do not purchase anything from this shop. You'll be duped.

Beware of this business. Agreed to make me a custom gown. When she failed to make it fit properly after 2 attempts, she offered me a full refund. Not only once, but 6 different times via email. I still have the emails!!! When I sent dress back, she seemed to always have an excuse as to why she didn't process refund. Clearly, I could tell it wasn't going to happen, even with her saying it would. I disputed with my credit card based on quality of service. Gave them proof of her offering refund. They immediately refunded me. A week after they refunded me, business owner, Ashley, started emailing saying funds were frozen and I had "charged back". She eventually appealed the dispute saying her policy is no returns. She then sent me nasty emails claiming it's all my fault and I'm not giving her any other options to refund since again, she thinks I personally froze her funds and did a charge back. I wrote a fb review, she dissed me on it, had other people I don't know get involved with rude comments. I had to block her and report her to fb. Ashley, regardless of what either of us thinks, you offered a full refund then didn't follow thru. That's why I decided to dispute the charge. Had she done what she promised, I wouldn't still be dealing with her 3 months after I got my money back. Clearly she doesn't know how to run the business side of things and doesn't understand how credit card companies give refunds. Yet she still wants to blame me. Her dress making services didn't work for me. In my opinion, don't try to save money, just buy the designer dress and save yourself the hassle and possible harassment from Ashley!!!! read more

I had my wedding dress and 3 bridesmaids dresses made by Ashley in less than 6 weeks and ALL of them turned out GORGEOUS! I was worried that she wouldn't be able to get them done in time, but they arrived with time to spare and better than i expected. read more

Dress gone Wrong ....................................BUYERS BEWARE.................................... What was suppose to be a good experience turned into a nightmare. My wedding was set for October 2018, I found my dress that I wanted in April 2018. The Faded Sunflower was in Tennessee and looked legit. I contacted Ashley (owner) and she said she can make it and it would be stunning. So even after looking at the reviews (there were more good than bad) I decided to go for it. Ashley started my dress May 25 2018- it was a 4-6 week job-- at 8 weeks it was completed. Well here's where things started going downhill. After 4 1/2 weeks of Ashley telling me it's on its way and not being able to get a hold of her it finally arrives end of August. Now I have about 7 weeks before my wedding, I had ordered the sexy and soft chiffon beach wedding dress. So before I received it I started looking for a new dress due to it taking so long and the time constraints. I filed a refund with my credit card company due to the fact of no dress. Well I finally received it and I was excited to see why this dress took 12 1/2 weeks. Let's just say it was a prom dress gone wrong. It had sequins (seriously) never once did we discuss sequins, the applique that she ordered to go on the dress was no where on it and the only beading was colored but not even my wedding colors and she had outlined stuff omg it was awful. The material was cheap (china) cheap. There was a tag that said dry clean only no company name (well figure that out). So I sent it back. We spent a lot of money on our destination wedding and I wasn't going to have an awful looking dress. So I told my credit card company and they went to bat to me. I received an email from Ashley saying she can fix it in 2 days, so my now husband calls her and asks her if she can fix it in 2 days why did it take 12 1/2 weeks to receive it (well she had no explanation). She says we were scammers and she was gonna have us served. She even did a criminal background check on both me and my husband and called our local police department (nothing happened). So I found another dress and come to find out they could have ordered my original dress from the designer. So ladies if you find a dress see who the designer is and order through a store who sells that designer. The dress I ended up with was even more beautiful than my nightmare. The wedding was beautiful and I got my dress refunded by my credit card company. So moral of the story if it's something real important to you make sure you research galore so you don't end up with a nightmare of a dress. And if your unsure or on the fence don't do it. Glad this nightmare is over, now I can enjoy married life. read more

THIS IS A SCAM! please do not trust Ashley (or Lea) they are liars and scamming brides. They took my money and promised to make my dress. Of course, AFTER the 180 days that you can dispute on PayPal, still no dress. Excuses ranging from jury duty, to shipping labels, bad weather, and even a HEART ATTACK. I've demanded a refund but they do not respond. Now my bank is reversing the charge. They send fake tracking info and continue to lie about sending the dress but never do. Please don't let them ruin your wedding day. They will not send you a dress and you will have NO DRESS on your wedding day. This is truly sickening preying on brides like this and ruining what should be a very special experience. BEWARE! read more

DO NOT USE THEM. I have a friend that has been royally screwed over by them. No dress and no responses. They took her money and then ignored her or on the rare occasion when they do respond come up with bizarre excuses as to why they havent responded etc. none of which give any info as to where the dress is, if they have made it, etc. Also after looking at the dresses other people have posted it looks like they just buy knockoffs from china and then send you those if you even get a dress. THIS IS A SCAM AND THEY WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY AND LEAVE YOU HIGH AND DRY ON YOUR WEDDING DAY. read more

I thought she was professional, and is the totally opposite of that, bad work, the worst quality, once I ask her address to send the dress back and get back my money she NEVER answer!! I was extremely patient with her delate, and once finally she send the dress it was almost on time of the party it has being the worst deception of my life to open that box!! And the first mail before the purchase I made the perfect questions, can you do it? And obviously she say yes and she couldn't, I'm still waiting my money back and the address to send the "dress" back after a month!! read more

Please use caution when ordering a dress from the Faded Sunflower. It has been one year since my wedding and I am still waiting for my alterations reimbursement of $150 (as promised by Ashley through many emails). Every few months I have forward her the now long email chain of me asking for the reimbursement starting 9/30/17 and her many "I'll write you a check right now" responses. The reason for the reimbursement is because my dress arrived 5 DAYS BEFORE MY WEDDING! After over a month of me panicking about WHERE IS MY DRESS? The dress was made the week before my wedding, I never got to see any images of the work-in-progress and CRIED FOR DAYS over the stress of not having my dress. The dress needed severe alterations and my seamstress did not have time to finish the dress. The least she could do would be to reimburse me. So now, I am publicly making my complaints. The dress had many good parts but the customer service, lack of professionalism and concern about the importance of one's wedding day are enough for me to never recommend anyone ever buying a wedding dress from the Faded Sunflower. Pay the couple extra hundred dollars to buy a dress else where and save yourself the headache, anxiety and stress. Also, please look at her reviews on The Knot and look at her responses to complaints...this is not a business anyone needs to associate with. NOT WORTH IT! read more

Ashley was great. She made my dress down to the T and it looked exactly like the pictures. Aside from some measuring issues, she was great. The only reason I gave 4/5 was because towards the end, she didn't communicate much. I had to ask a few times when the dress was going to arrive, etc. But aside from the communication, she was great. read more

Do not do business with Ashley!! She is a fraud. She will instantly say she can replicate any dress you send her. At first communication will be great. Eventually you will hear every excuse making you feel bad for her, for example I heard her mom was in the hospital and then she was taking care of her. I ordered the dress and paid for it in Dec she assured me she had plenty of time to make it for my Aug 18th wedding. Come down to 4 weeks before my wedding and still nothing from her whether it was done or what the deal was with the dress I had to be the one to always initiate and ask how the dress was coming along and are you sure it's going to be done in time. So anyways after a fiasco trying to figure where exactly my dress went after she told me she sent it and the tracking number showed no movement for several days I had to email her again and then when it said it was delivered, the package which arrived in Indiana at the post office did not have my name or address and the lady working peeked in and said yeah no dress this looks like a denim jacket. Furious and freaking out that I have no dress for my wedding I email her right away and she says she knows what happened it ended up in California. So now I have 3 weeks until my wedding when it actually arrives and it does not fit right and beading is off centered and crooked and the train is not sewn correctly so it is assymetrical. There's no way I can feel good walking down the aisle in this dress. So I email her again with pics and explaining what is wrong with it. The trouble it took to get my dress she wanted me to send it back to her and trust it was all going to be perfect and fixed and back in my hands in time. No way I was risking it I ordered the original dress from a bridal store in town. Ashley promised a full refunds and as a gift for my honey moon she gave me a gift certificate to order clothes from her other boutique Wanderlust. Nice of her still giving her the benefit of the doubt I told her she didn't have to do that. She insisted and anything over the amount of the gift certificate she would wave the fee so it would be no cost to me well it was on $6 but my card was charged and it's now 6 months past my wedding and honeymoon I have no order from wanderlust and I have no refund! I have been patient with her and listened to every excuse she's given me about why she can not refund me yet but I am at the top of her list as soon as she gets the money I will get my refund! But I have no read several reviews who have all had this experience with Ashley so I'm pissed but I'm not holding my breath that I will actually get my money back! I repeat DO NOT BUY A THING FROM HER FROM THE FADED SUNFLOWER OR FROM WANDERLUST!!! read more
