Has Fan+Friend gotten any better about custom sizing, though? In the past they've gotten horrible reviews on their custom sizing, making things 10 inches off and refusing to refund, sewing things lopsided, etc
I just received a custom made f+f blouse actually and it was a little large on me, but nothing corset lacing won't fix. I think for certain things f+f is iffy, but their Neo-Ludwig line at least is about the quality you'd expect from some of the nicer taobao storefronts and I was pretty pleased with the results.
The main issue with f+f is that if you're over a certain measurement -- arbitrary, apparently, since it's not mentioned anywhere, they will charge you an additional fee on top of the one on the website (as some of us discovered when we placed this order as a group a couple of months ago). I don't want to say "hidden" but I guess it is since again, there's no indication anywhere on the site that you should expect to pay more than what you agreed to on the order form. So if you do purchase anything from them and you're plus size, assume that they'll email you after the fact to ask for about $10-15 more per item than the website tells you, and budget accordingly. (Obviously this fee doesn't apply to things like accessories, just dresses, skirts and tops)
