Lace Wedding Dress
Elegant Above Elbow Sleeve Wedding Dress

I love the dress on the website I gave you.

The changes I would like to make to it are as follows:

I would like to have a sweetheart neckline as seen in the attached full body picture.

I would like to keep sleeves just above elbow like seen on the inspiration website.

I love the lace pattern in the attached partial body photo. Is there any way you can send me a sample of lace just to make sure it is exactly what I want? I love the eyelash fringe on the lace. 

With the inspiration photo, I don't like bows under the pearls on the bust. If we could keep the pearls though that would be great.


I would like the color of the lace and the underneath to be the same, in a soft white.

Please get back to me with questions or if you are able to do this. I would like a rough estimate of what you will charge.


Thank you so much! I can't wait to work with you.

I'm In Love!

I am in love with something other than my fiancé! This dress is amazing! I had the worst time going around to dress shops that were too expensive and just not what I wanted. I had an inspiration dress picked out already which helped my designer out! Just sent them a picture, picked out my lace, sent the measurements and viola! My dress was mailed to me! I strongly recommend taking advantage of their toile/bespoke service where they send you a mock-up of the shape of the dress to ensure proper fit. My dress cost me less than $450 USD and it was 100% worth every penny. My designer was amazing to work with, and the company was very good at communicating with me. I would recommend Lunss.com to ANYONE who is having a problem not finding the right dress for the right price! Thank you so much Tansy!

This is designer Tansy from Lunss Couture. Thanks for your contact and submitting such an elegant wedding dress.

I just take a quick glance of your request, then answer is: Yes! We can custom tailor this dress for you.

I will check our product library to check whether we have the lace fabric, it is possible to add that sweetheart neckline on the fit and flare or mermaid wedding dress below.

For the bust area, how about making it like this without any ruching but pearls?

Alright great! So, I do still want the ruching on the bust area, with the pearls. What I'm saying is if you look really close you can see little tulle bows underneath the pearls and I just don't like those. One detail I would like you to pay attention to and keep is the lace border under the bust that drops in the back to the zipper. Like


, and


. I also want to keep the scalloped neckline intact.  Also, with budget, is there any way you could give me an approximate as to what the dress may cost based on other ones similar to it that you may have made? Thank you! 

I also really like this lace if the first lace we discussed isn't possible to match.

I find some pictures of lace fabric for you to check, we have the lace fabric as well, so what kind of lace you prefer? We will make pearls on ruching directly.

I've set the estimated price and processing time for this dress in your customization page. The final price might be different based on your final dress design and fabric you choose.

Thank you!

avatar - boston.swen

Do you have anything like this lace but a little heavier fabric? Like In this picture, the lace looks  little thicker or something. Do you have an option like that with the eyelash fringe still? Or do you have this lace with an eyelash? Thank you for being so helpful with this! 

avatar - Tansy

How about this thick lace fabric?


avatar - boston.swen

I just want something a little more substantial. let me think about it.

I really really like alencon lace like this. which is kind of close to the same style of this. Can I see a bigger sheet of this lace you showed me so I can look at the overall pattern?

Can you send me some more lace pictures please? I am going to be picky about the lace pattern so bear with me please :)  And thank you! You're doing awesome!

If you just sent me a bunch of pictures of lace that you have I would love it :) also will you please make sure that they are more of a soft white color rather than an ivory :)


Oh! One more thing for today :) I know the dress looks more like a fit and flare mermaid style dress but is there any way we could make it more of a sheath style dress where it is only fitted until the hip? Thanks so much! You really are awesome!

5dbc0051290ba

Also I was wondering about your bespoke service? I understand it as you send me a mock up of the dress to make sure it fits? How does that work? and is it an extra charge?

avatar - Tansy

I will find lace fabric once I have time, I am sorry that I am too busy now. Dress can be made like this silhouette. Yes, we provide bespoke service, extra 50 USD will be needed, please let me know your thoughts. Thank you!

avatar - boston.swen

You are fine! Thank you so much! and with the bespoke service you send me the mock up of the dress and I tell you if it fits. Is that correct?

avatar - Tansy

Thanks for your kind understanding!

Yes, after you pay 50 USD, we will take your measurements, then make a "Toile" (a dress made from cotton calico or a fabric similar to the one we use for your wedding dress) for the first fitting. After you receive it, you can have a check, and reply us about the fits. We will only begin making the actual wedding dress when the"Toile" fits perfectly.

avatar - boston.swen

Great! go ahead and send me those lace pictures when you have time! Thank you so much! You are doing awesome :)

Hey Tansy! I was wondering if you had a chance to get me  a few more lace pictures like we talked about? Thank you!

Thank you so much Tansy!!! Perfect! I really really like this lace. Here is a close up just so you know exactly which one I am talking about!

16052383032

And I was also wondering how long the toile itself takes to ship? And when Im done with it do I have to send it back and how long would that take? I live in the United States.

avatar - Tansy

After you pay 50 USD, you will get it within two weeks, you do not need to mail it back as we would keep a copy. If you feel it okay, I will set price for you to pay 50 USD. Hope for your reply!

avatar - boston.swen

Yes that would be great! Then after the toile fits you make the real dress and charge me the price of that dress? 

And what is the next step, we have the style and the fabric, and the color chosen. What else do you need me to do before the toile is started? 

avatar - Tansy

Yes, I have set price 50 USD do you receive it? Please provide your measurements with reference our measuring guide, we will start the toile after you finish payment and getting your measurements. Thank you!

avatar - boston.swen

Yes I did! I will get you the measurements by tomorrow! Thank you so much tansy! You are being such a great help! 

avatar - Tansy

You are welcome, just wait for your measurements. Thank you!

avatar - boston.swen
Will you be sending me pictures of the dress as you go? and will I get a sketch or anything like it says on the website? I am fine if there isn't a sketch but I would love pictures as you go! :) and I am in the process of measuring so I can't wait to hear back from you!


Oh and we weren't so sure about how to measure the shoe height so here are the pictures of the measurements. I was just worried because there is a platform on it and so I didn't want to mess up the dress length :) 

16052448313

16052443274

Just as a side note, please make sure the train is the same size as the one in the picture. I don't want it bigger. and what will the actual dress cost again?  Thank you so much Tansy! You really are making this dress a dream come true for me!


Boston

Would it be okay to throw an extra 2 yards of lace just in case I want to use it for something else? and if yes, how much would it cost?


avatar - Tansy

If customers' time permits we often provide pictures after our dressmakers finish dresses. So the pictures only could be provided after real dresses are finished.

You did a good job to provide pictures with tape measuring shoes, we just need heel height actually.  We will make train size as original dress, it does not change the price, please do not worry! 

Actually, you do not need to buy more lace fabric, if you feel it does not fit after you get our "toile", just contact us to correct the measurements, it would fit you perfectly. If you just want 2 yards lace fabric, extra 10 USD will be needed.

Here is the procedure to get sketches.

1, Pay 30 USD for sketches as deposit, here is payment link of sketches:

http://www.lunss.com/sketch-service-585.html.

2, Sketches will be provided in 4 days for you to check.

3, We will set price, so that you can finish payment for this dress.

4, Our dressmakers process your order once you finish payment for dress.

5, Please contact us after you receive our dress.

6, Finally, our financial department process this 30 USD refund directly to your card.

Thank you!

avatar - boston.swen

Okay I don't want the sketches.


I would like the 2 yards of extra lace though! :) So if you can add that to the finalized price when you ship the dress. also, when I ordered the toile it charged me $10 for shipping but I thought for the toile shipping was free? Let me now about that please!


avatar - Tansy

I am sorry for it, 10USD will be credited back to you in 48 hours, so total amount for this dress is 289 USD. We will set price when you want to order dress, after you finish payment, our dressmakers will process dress for you. Pictures will be provided after dress is finished, with your approval, we will send it to you. Thank you very much for your kind patience!

avatar - boston.swen

great! thank you! and another question? How long does it usually take to make a toile? and will you begin that now because my order has been received?


avatar - Tansy

Yes, it was started, you would get it in around 10 days, please wait a little time. We do not have questions now. Thank you!

avatar - boston.swen

Cant wait to get it! Talk to you later Tansy! You are doing amazing!

I was wondering how my toile order is doing. Is it shipping out soon or has it been made? Just wondering :) and will you let me know when it has shipped please?

avatar - Tansy

It would be shipped out very soon, please give it  alittle time. Yes, we will let you know once it is shipped out.

avatar - boston.swen

Hey Tansy :) Hope your week has been great! Just wondering how the Toile is coming along :) 


Boston

I just received an email! Thank you :) I will let you know as soon as I get it and try it on. Do you know long will the real dress take to tailor once I tell you how the Toile fits?

avatar - Tansy

It normally takes around 4 weeks, thank you for your kind understanding! 

avatar - boston.swen

Tansy! I got the toile :) So here are some pictures and how it fits. I have a few things that need adjusted.

avatar - Tansy

Please provide some pictures and let me know more about the adjustments. Thank you!

avatar - boston.swen

5dbc00c58fe75

The bust line is too high. looks like it needs to go down about a half inch.

5dbc010ad2571

The front hem of the dress is two and a half inches too long

The sleeve fits well on the upper arm but needs to taper down to fit my lower arm better.

5dbc014802762

5dbc0169e0eab

I want to neckline to be much more pronounced like this picture.

5dbc019037334

This is where the bust line should go to.

5dbc01c35ab53

This is too round of a neckline. Make it like this please. :)

5dbc01e612221

Here is the measurements for the sleeves


Upper arm: 11.5 inches

Lower: 10 inches

avatar - Tansy

Thanks for your pictures and kind clarification.

1, Underbust line go down 0.5 inch lower;

http://www.lunss.com/uploads/custom/2016/05/1605138616/16061455143.JPG

So the blue line is 0.5 inch long.

5dbc021ad3103

2, Front hemline should be cut 2.5 inch;

http://www.lunss.com/uploads/custom/2016/05/1605138616/16061475421.JPG

3, Neckline should be changed to subtle V-neck like this: http://www.lunss.com/uploads/custom/2016/05/1605138616/16061458524.jpg

4, Tapered sleeves, please check are explanations below right?

Upper arm: 11.5 inches (Arm Circumference)

Lower: 10 inches (This is the circumference of end of sleeves)

Is the sleeve length still 10 inch?

Is there any more requirement? If no, I will set price so that you can finish payment and we will start your dress. Hope for your reply!

avatar - boston.swen

Yes, the sleeve length is still good! Please make sure to make the underlay a cap sleeve and then the lace be to the 10 inch like this picture. Otherwise, you can set the price! I will pay for it as soon as I receive it!

And please remember to include the extra 2 yards of lace with my dress :)

avatar - Tansy

Yes, we will take care of it and ship lace and dress to you together. I have set price please check it to finish payment. Thank you!

avatar - boston.swen

Okay Tansy, I paid for it I believe. I just want to make sure it's all set! Thank you so much for your help! I will give you a great review once my dress comes!

avatar - Tansy

Yes, you have finished payment, thanks for your patience and support, we will start to process your dress, please give us more time, thank you very much!

avatar - boston.swen
